Preliminary reports on FC Bayern against VfL Wolfsburg

Situation: League leaders Bayern will keep their pursuers Leverkusen at bay. Like Munich, Wolfsburg started this year with two wins and is within striking distance of the European Cup places.

Statistics: Bayern have been unbeaten against Wolfsburg in 19 games, with 17 wins. VfL has not yet won a game in Munich. This season, Wolfsburg is strong away from home with five wins in eight games.

Personal: Stanisic is back in the Bayern squad after a long injury break. Kaminski is out for Wolfsburg, but Tiago returns after a suspension.

Special: No other team in the history of the Bundesliga has traveled to a specific opponent so many times without ever winning.

Preliminary reports on VfB Stuttgart against SC Freiburg

Situation: After the successful restart, VfB is in better shape than ever before this season. Despite the defeat in Frankfurt, Freiburg is only two points behind and could move past with a win in the Baden-Württemberg state derby.

Statistics: In recent years, the duel has gone to the South Baden team. SC Freiburg has won seven of the last nine Bundesliga games against VfB.

Personal: VfB national player Mittelstädt, who was recently injured, is ready for action again. Lienhart, who was recently ill, is back with the Freiburg team. The use of Sildillia (bent over) is questionable.

Special: There is nothing for Freiburg to gain against the top teams. The team suffered the five away defeats this season in Munich, Leipzig, Dortmund, Leverkusen and Frankfurt.

Preliminary reports on 1. FC Heidenheim against FC St. Pauli

Situation: Heidenheim started the new calendar year with four points and left the relegation relegation zone. St. Pauli recently lost to bottom team Bochum.

Statistics: In the duel between the last two second division champions, the two most counter-prone teams in the entire league meet: they have conceded six goals in these situations so far.

Personal: At Heidenheim, in addition to Honsak and Niehues, Dorsch and Föhrenbach were also sidelined due to injuries. St. Pauli’s coach Blessin has no players to complain about from the Bochum game, but announced changes to the starting eleven.

Special: St. Pauli is stronger away than at home – there has never been a draw away from home for Hamburg. Baden-Württemberg is also in the Hanseatic League: the neighborhood club won all three of its away games in Freiburg, Hoffenheim and Stuttgart.

Preliminary reports on VfL Bochum against RB Leipzig

Situation: Bochum is still last, but has new self-confidence after the win against St. Pauli. Leipzig is under pressure in the fight for the Champions League.

Statistics: Things haven’t really been going well for the guests from Leipzig recently: four of the last five games ended in defeat.

Personal: In addition to the many injuries, including national players Henrichs and Schlager, the Leipzig side also includes the suspended attackers Sesko and Openda. Bochum is missing captain Losilla.

Special: In Bochum’s twelve games against Leipzig, VfL failed to even score eight times. Overall, RB only conceded four goals in the games.

Preliminary reports on Holstein Kiel against TSG Hoffenheim

Situation: There is a lot of excitement in Hoffenheim before this basement duel. Star striker Kramaric sounds the alarm after the Bayern game (0:5): “There is a risk that we will be relegated.” With a good team, with good players.”

Statistics: 3:2 on the first matchday and 5:1 in the 2021 DFB Cup: Hoffenheim won the only two duels between these clubs so far.

Personal: Kiel’s most experienced player Holtby is suspended. Hoffenheim’s Kaderabek also has to sit out after his fifth yellow card. Samassekou is also out injured.

Special: Kiel’s coach Marcel Rapp worked as a youth coach in Hoffenheim from 2013 to 2021.
