VfB Stuttgart - Bayern München

The last match from Round 19 will be played in Stuttgart between VfB and Bayern Munich. The home team had not many success in the past against this opponent. They are on a huge losing streak right now and it would be very hard for them today too. They are one of the better away teams in this league but lost the first match in Wolfsburg 0-2. Maybe it was a bit unlucky because they are not such bad and the first goal was a shot from Diego from 25 metres. But overall they made to many mistakes and therefore you can not win a game. Also the situation from the coach is still open as Labbadia has not signed the contract but they said that both sides are on a good way. Hopefully they do it fast and end up the concern about this. I said already that Stuttgart is one of the better sides away but at home they did much harder and can not collect so many points so far. They are one of the weakest teams there, maybe they have some problems if they must make the play as they are much better on the counter attacks. It is almost logical with these fast wings who like more to have a lot of space. Both wings with Harnik and Traore has to improve a lot against the best defensive with only 7 goals conceded and only one away from home. This would be hard work and hard fight for them today. With Sakai suspended, Boka at African Cup, Cacau injured long term and Hoogland too they miss some. But also some good news as with important striker Ibisevic returns their best man upfront from suspension and also central midfielder Kvist is ready for his comeback after injury.

The best team this season is rolling again after the break. Sure they did not much against Fürth and maybe if Fürth can use their biggest chance it had been more close. Bayern played only their style down as they want only the points nothing more as they have a lot of matches ahead and in this case they do not want to push from beginning on. Additional after the break it is always a bit difficult to come in running. With the next match ahead they can bring a bigger distance between them and 2nd place as Leverkusen got only a draw and if they win they have an advance of 11 points and this is almost uncatchable. Coach Heynckes managed the defensive problems from last season and they are very hard to beat, also in offensive they have huge potential and they are always able to create some and score anyway. All in all they can only fail if they have an absolutely weak day or their opponent plays the match of the year. It is not clear if Heynckes gives the same lineup a chance or maybe change on 1-2 positions. Robben trained well and maybe should be the first option for a change, in this case Müller or Kroos are out and sit on bench then. No important missings, as only long term injured Badstuber is out. Second keeper Starke has some problem with his hand but it is not so important where is on bench as second keeper.

If anyone want to bet on this I only can prefer Bayern Munich, they are the much better side here, also their players are ahead of Stuttgart's. Of course, sometimes it was very close here but I do not think like this as Stuttgart was to weak at home and Bayern Munich with this defensive and offensive are hard to stop. GL

Hamburger SV - Werder Bremen

Here we have the big north Derby, where both teams are focused to win as it would be very important for their fans as well as the rivalry between both is huge. Hamburg has to improve a lot as they lost the last 3 matches against Bremen and in this case they have to change this now. Stadium should be sold out and the atmosphere is great and also great to watch.

Hamburg started very slow in the 2nd half of the season as the match against Nürnberg was very boring above all in first half, in second half they took the lead and although they were better and had the better opportunities to score more as one they failed and got only a draw in the end. Of course they are not very angry about as the start was well but they have to continue now and if they want to get closer to the top six it is almost a must win situation here. I read some interviews and in all of them are only one statement: They want to win this derby and continue their winning streak at home as they won the last 3  now but they said nothing about an international place for next season. All persons are more of understatement with this matter. Coach Fink does not want to change much as the team did overall well against Nürnberg and therefore almost the same eleven are set to start, only defender Mancienne will be replaced from Bruma as he did in Nürnberg already. Mancienne got injured there and is out for some weeks now. The next option who are not decided yet should be if Skelbred gets a chance as offensive wing but if Arslan is out then and sit only on bench.

What happen to Werder Bremen, they were absolutely outplayed against Dortmund and lost their first important match 0-5 at home. Sure, they are offensive minded but that they play such open and also the wrong tactic or system against quick wings from Dortmund it is almost unknowable. Maybe coach Schaaf explain this as follows as he never change his system or tactic above all at home but he should take a look at the table and he should. His team has conceded a lot and is one of the weakest in this, maybe some change would be very helpful. Sure, the match against Dortmund is gone and they have to focus on Hamburg now and the atmosphere is good in the team as they are very happy that with wing Arnautovic one important player are back and he should help to get the offensive rolling again. He is best scorer for Bremen this season and maybe he can help but as we know his two faces. Some of the reporters are saying that maybe some changes are there because with Elia, Prödl and Gebreselassie three players trained only in B-Team this week. But maybe only some confusion before the derby.

Close match and if the run from HSV continues at home, less goals are expected but this is almost against Bremen's play. 

SC Freiburg - Bayer Leverkusen

Freiburg's leader !!!

After coach Streich took over SC Freiburg is on an absolutely good way and they are more in an uptrend as on an downtrend. They are very solid now and they are also very hard to beat or to crack in defensive as their conceded goals show. They have one of the best in this league and maybe this is the key for their good season so far. It looks like that coach Streich takes the focus on this position much more as on offensive and if consider the success so far he is absolutely right. Nevertheless they are on a huge streak now as they do not lose the last 4 matches and if we take this match against Bayern Munich away it was 8 times. They played well in almost all matches and they are very hard to crack as I said with one of the best defensive as they conceded only in 6 from 18 matches 2 goals or more. And in this 18 matches they keep 7 times a clean sheet and in the others they conceded only one. Last match against Mainz they did their job and got a point, is was an open match but both were not able to finish their attacks. But overall deserved draw. For this encounter one important man is back with Rosenthal, who was suspended against Mainz and he should get the place from Guede who has to move out and is on bench. Defender Mujdza has back problems and is not ready for the starting lineup.

On the q.t. Leverkusen stands on 2nd position and work on their best season since years. Manager Völler has found the right combination with Hypiaä and Lewandowski as coaching team and they lead the team very well. They are in good shape as the first match against Frankfurt showed, as they had some problems at the beginning but after they took the lead they play very good and I think this is one of their key facts. As with the lead they can count on their fast wings with Castro and Schürrle who helps a lot and give striker Kießling upfront the opportunities for goals. I am not sure it this can happen today as Freiburg is also known as solid defending team and they are for sure run not in counter. This time maybe Leverkusen must find another way for their finish. It's up to the players to create and maybe have some ideas more in their plays. The same eleven are ready again as with Bellarabi and Kadlec are the same players out since last match.

I expect a very close match as Leverkusen are not with such a success in this season as at home where they won almost all, away they are only average and against a team with huge self confidence and in good shape too it would be a much harder task, of course. Freiburg at home in their close stadium and hot atmosphere can take maybe advantage of it.

Borussia Dortmund - 1.FC Nürnberg

What an amazing start from Borussia Dortmund into second half of the season. They totally outplayed Werder Bremen in their stadium and won absolutely deserved 5-0. It was more as great to watch how the offensive machine from BvB worked above all Reus, Götze and Lewandowski had a lot of fun and were so hungry to play football. They created a lot of excellent actions and their opponents had never a chance to catch them anyway. After the match coach Klopp and his team were very pleased about their performance and they can count on this in the upcoming matches. After an average first half it would be surely a boost to start like this but I have also to mention that Werder Bremen played like they do in every match. They are more focused on offensive as on defensive and therefore many mistakes were in their play and also they are more as open in defensive and this was the key. Dortmund’s players like if they have much space as they are almost unstoppable then. It would be very interesting if they play teams who are more focused on defensive and stands more deep as Bremen did. If this should be the case, of course, it would be not such easy to overcome the opponent as they did against Bremen. In the future there are more matches like this, I am absolutely sure. Therefore they can show that they are able to crack such teams and go their way as their target is to overcome Leverkusen and get at least 2nd place. Coach Klopp maybe has a bit more options for this encounter as with Bender returns the fighter and Kuba who was on bench against Bremen because of slight injury should be at 100% now and if he starts Reus has to move and Großkreutz must back on bench then. Not available is defender Subotic but he will be replaced by Santana.

It was all about the debut from new man on the line Wiesinger and he wants to start well. Sure it was more an average start till bad but in the end at least a point against a team from Hamburg who was not much better and maybe the draw was deserved but if we take a look at the big chances from Hamburg is was more as lucky as Hamburg hit the post twice and also missed some others. First half was very bad from both and in second half it was a little bit better but overall as I said. Hamburg take the lead and awaken Nürnberg from their winter break, after it Nürnberg pushed a lot and get rewarded five minutes later and equalized but the last 15 minutes was Hamburg much closer to win as Nürnberg. Some were surprised about the lineup from new coach Wiesinger as he let important midfielder Kiyotake on bench and also on central back he had to make some changes as Nilsson was ill. Also Feulner was not available and upfront he counts on Pekhardt who scored instead of Polter. Overall the start was ok but they have a big match ahead and it would be interesting how long they can hold the pressure away as Dortmund is of course a much better side as Hamburg was above all their class speaks for its own. First thing would be defending like hell and maybe looking forward to hurt Dortmund over the wings as with Mak and Esswein they have some fast weapons for counter. But it is not sure if Esswein is in starting lineup again after his weak performance. But you never know since Wiesinger is on the line. Also possible is that Kiyotake and Feulner are back in starting eleven but it is almost all top secret so far. 

Overall Dortmund should be favorite in this one above all they play at home and they want continue their winning streak after their easy win in Bremen and on the other side Nürnberg wants to hurt BvB, but are they able? They play more compact and stands more deep as Bremen for sure, maybe if Dortmund can not take the lead fast it would be more a puzzle. Important would be that they can control Reus and Götze, if they can do this, Dortmund gets some trouble. Let's see what happen.

Attention !!!

At the beginning of this blog, I mentioned that I have worked out a System and select all my plays according to this. I do not know if anyone can still remember but it is not so important at all. With this post I want to bring it back into memory and also allow you a small insight of my work in previous years / seasons. Of course not all of these picks are verified and not even played all, especially in the beginning it was more a test phase and I have improved it every season. As of today, it is on a top level, and hardly to be improved. For this reason, I present you this link available, and anyone can get a view. Sure I have removed all the important parameters from the data sheet, because I do not want that my system is copied or resold after I have invested so much time, energy and effort over the years.

1.FC Nürnberg - Hamburger SV

The new coaching team on the line for 1.FC Nürnberg

Wow, what to say about 1.FC Nürnberg, should I be proud that they count on young and maybe unexperienced coach with Wiesinger or should I be a bit angry because of Hecking went to a bigger Club as Wolfsburg is with more potential or more money in hand. I am not a fan of fast changes, especially the smaller clubs are always being affected. If bigger clubs comes and want some players it is almost sure that they get him but it is always against smaller clubs. Ok, so not look to much back, furthermore look ahead and say that Wiesinger made some experience with second league team Ingolstadt where he was sucked after some time and worked now for the second team from 1.FC Nürnberg who plays in Regional League Bavaria. He did a good job so far and maybe this was the actually reason for manager Bader to get attention of him. Of course, this model was for sure the cheaper one with Wiesinger and Reutershahn on the line as double team. But Wiesinger is responsible for the final decisions as lineup and tactic but they want to work very close. This model is already being practiced in Leverkusen, maybe Nürnberg copy this. In the past days Wiesinger gave some interviews and he said that he wants to change not much and they play the same tactic as they did under coach Hecking. Therefore 4-1-4-1 or 4-2-3-1 are the preferred system for the second half of the season, also not many changes in squad too. He works with the same players as Hecking, only Klement signed a contract at Rostock and left but he was anyway no important one. Their aim for sure it to get 40 points as far as they can to be safe and can plan for the next season in 1.BL. For this encounter they miss Hlousek who is long term injured but work on his comeback and defender Antonio but he was not much a factor in the past after his huge mistake in first half of the season.

As in Nürnberg the same almost in Hamburg too, always trouble with Coach, Players, Manager, Fans, Money and so on. After Hamburg started very bad they signed VdV and their way was up and they are close to the top 6 which is their aim. They want to play for the international places but if they want, they must start much better as to begin of the season. Maybe this can happen as players and coach work longer together now and everyone knows the tactic, style of play and so on. But preparation was not as easy as with VdV private problems and also injury after some trainings days was not the best situation for coach Fink but VdV recovered and is back in business now and he training with the team already again and should be available today. With Jiracek, Scharner and 2nd keeper Drobny they miss some but not an important one. They have to look forward and do better as to beginning as they lost at home to Nürnberg, and they want revenge here. The sign look very good as Hamburg plays much better on the road as at home (sure better record at home, but they managed it only in the end), maybe this is due to their problems to make the game, better sit back on go for counter over their fast wings and strikers as with Son, Beister and Rudnevs they have some weapons in their rows upfront. Also in the middle with VdV who is able to create some and set his teammates in scene.

Overall I expect a close match, maybe with less goals as both teams are not known as scoring machines and additional we saw yesterday that some teams need some time to get in their rhythm. Moreover both want not to risk much from beginning on as points are important for both but if one team can take advantage and take the lead, it is almost the winner.

1899 Hoffenheim - Bor. M'Gladbach

Very important match for 1899 Hoffenheim as with a win they can get some self confidence and hope for a better future back. They played one of the weakest first half of the season since they are in 1.BL. Sure, if you compare the last years something is very interesting here. Their first year in 1.BL they were absolutely unknown and they played really great and good soccer and also were very successful but after Rangnick left the club as coach they are on an absolutely downtrend and season after season they are weaker. Many think they underperformed so far but I think the process for this was many years ago. They are absolutely on the right place at the moment, and if they continue like this, maybe they can reach the aim and stay in 1.BL but if they do not change a lot for next season they are for sure relegated. Of course, many problems there and also the huge pressure on the team because of former Coach Babbel spoke from an international place and maybe this is a bit to high for them. They should go their way and go step after step to establish them in 1.BL. Some changes are done now as with Kurz a new coach took over and he said that he made some changes. First one was that keeper Wiese is not longer their captain and former man Beck and Salihovic got this job. As the team showed many weak points manager Müller search for new players. Some are there but only young ones who maybe can help not immediately. And on the other side they have to replace their imp. man on the sixer position Rudy who is out longer. Also with Schipplock and Schröck they miss two other guys and maybe Compper can leave the club as he was one of the guys who made a lot of mistakes in defensive and allow with many goals.

Uff, what a start from Gladbach, they got nothing at beginning of the season but coach Favre managed it and he brought his team back on track and they were rolling in the end. They are close to the international places and if they continue like the last matches 2012 they are on a good way and they can reach it again. They got some players back from injury as with de Jong, Daems and Herrmann were imp. players not available in some matches but now, fully fit and coach Favre can choose from a lot. The defensive was not always such good as last season but with young keeper ter Stegen who had a very weak period were one of the important points here. He is back and with huge self confidence as he made a really great match against Bayern Munich in the end of 2012. This showed his strength and talent very well. Defensive row with Stranzl, Dominguez, Jantschke and Wendt work additional better that they will be more able to hold the pressure away from their goal. But one of the important change what Favre made in the first half of the season where they are winless and absolutely away from their great form was that he count on old guy Marx, since he is back on the double six Gladbach do better and better. Gladbach can bring almost their best available eleven on the pitch today.

Overall it would be very interesting to see how Hoffenheim can come out after the break with their new coach and what tactic Kurz has choose. I do not think that all is perfect at beginning and therefore Gladbach can hurt them maybe as they are much more balanced and they know all their processes better as they are working together longer. 

Bayern München - Greuther Fürth

This was the first from three goals from BM at Fürth !!

Amazing first half of the season from Bayern Munich so far. They showed that they do not want to pass third season in a row without a title. They are huge focused on their opponents / matches and coach Heynckes found the right words or tactic to overcome all at the moment. They made a very good preparation and also their friendlies were very well as they won all very easy and keep in all of their 4 matches a clean sheet while scoring for fun. Maybe some of you think now, sure they played average teams or lower league teams, no not always as with Schalke, Basel and Ahl Ahly are all teams with normally huge class, the only lower opponent was SpVgg Unterhaching. For the second half of the season coach Heynckes welcome back some players who were injured or almost out for the first half as with Robben, Gustavo and Gomez (fully fit now) he has more options again. The only missing at the moment is long term injured DEF Badstuber who is out with a huge knee injury.  Moreover the future on the line is also decided as Guardiola signed a contract as coach at Munich. Therefore Heynckes go in his last half of the season and then retire. Maybe he is available for some consulting position for the club, but we will see what happen. The hype was huge in the past with Guardiola but I do not think that the players are much affected here because they want to go onwards and win some and celebrate with Heynckes a good season and allow him a good farewell.

Bottom team Greuther Fürth needs points and this immediately as they are far away from safe zone and if they continue like in the first half of the season they are for sure the first relegation candidate. They score much to less and also allow almost in all matches goals against. It is very hard as they were not always the weaker team. They played well or good in some matches but get not rewarded as they were even not able to score goals. Above all Asamoah missed a lot and for this they signed Djurdjic who did well in preparation and friendly matches but got injured and is not available for this match. Also some other guys like imp. midfielder Prib, Schmidtgal and suspended Mavraj will miss this one. Mikkelsen and Onuegbu are not in the squad anyway, also Tyrala is no option as he has to work on his comeback after huge knee injury. Coach Büskens has not the best situation at the moment but he was always down in first half already as his team get not rewarded for their good matches. He wants to  do better and hope that they are able to do, he believe in it. But overall, I think it is hopeless.

Overall Fürth can take this match very easy as they know that they are not able to get anything here, maybe if Bayern has a very weak day but this is almost impossible. Big big favorite for this one should be home side and they take this serious and want to hold the pressure on the teams behind high. A good start will help them to go step for step and hold all aims alive.

FC Schalke 04 - Hannover 96

This was the equalizer in first match for H96 (FT 2-2)

Winter break is over and after some weeks without any Football in Germany we have 1.BL back for this weekend. But since some days it is snowing in Germany and a lot of snow is coming down and maybe affect the matches. Maybe some of the home teams have to clean their field from snow but it is also very cold so the pitch is frozen and the underground very hard. It would be interesting to see how it is possible for the teams to bring their style of play on the pitch. Maybe some problems for some of the teams and also the fighting ones gets some advantage.

The opening match are played at Veltins Arena between FC Schalke 04 and Hannover 96 where both fight for an international starting place next season. A lot of trouble at Schalke at the end of last year where they sucked coach Stevens and youth coach Keller took over. The situations looked very bad and with this step they want to solve some above all to stay in Cup but they failed against Mainz and therefore Manager Heldt did not the right thing maybe. I am not very convinced about their new man on the line. Keller was BL player for some team and also coached VfB Stuttgart some years ago but he was sucked after 2 month according to less success. He made his last match against Hannover 1-2 and begins against Hannover, a bit funny anyway. I think this job is not as easy as he means. A lot of problems there and also he needs success immediately but I do not think that he reach his team so far. If this continues I expect a fast change on the line again. The preparation showed that the problems from last year are not solved moreover they are there and maybe a bit bigger. They looked very bad in some of their friendlies as they lost huge against Bayern Munich 0-5 and some others. As some of their starters are not available (like Top striker Huntelaar, MID fighter Jones, DEF chief Papadopoulos and fast MID Affelay) and therefore they lose a lot of their class they signed Raffael from Kiew on loan (former palyer from Hertha BSC) and search for more as well. A lot of work to do for manager Heldt, coach Keller and so on.

One of the weakest away teams of the first half of the season Hannover 96 wants to hurt Schalke. Former Schalke coach Slomka knows the situation well as he was also many years ago. He said if we can hold the match open as long as he can or maybe take the lead the supporters get angry and this should be an additional help for H96. Manager Schmadtke did a great job so far and bring some players to H96 at the break who gives Slomka much more options to choose from. The new players are some time there but as Slomka said he wants to count on most of the old guys as the new ones need some time to get better involved into their processes. Of course the strengthening was very important for H96 as they want to reach an international starting place again and also to solve the problems which important injured players let back. Midfielder Stindl are out longer and also Cherundolo has some problems where Sakai can play for him. But overall it is not comfirmed yet. Also Ya Konan is with Ivory and plays African Cup while new signing Franca, Schulz, Felipe and Stindl are no options for this match anyway.

Sure Hannover’s record is very weak in the past at Veltins Arena but with the problems from Schalke at the moment I think it would be very close and they have a chance here anyway. It is always a bit different after the break as no team knows at what level they are already. In this case I fancy the AHC line +1 as a very good offer. But decide of your own what you are preferring. I gave you a  lot of informations above for it. GL
