Saturday 1.BL update III

FC Schalke 04 - 1.FC Nürnberg

Both teams in must need here, Schalke need one Point to safe 3rd place while Nürnberg must win to have a chance for the important 16. Place. If they reach this they go to Play off games with 2.BL team, which is at the moment Fürth. In this case it is a big "Franken" Derby with hot atmosphere and a really great one as well but before they must win.

Schalke did their job but has some weak periods in the past and this was the key that they need one Point at the last match now. Without Huntelaar they must look forward who should score here but with Farfan they have a good player back in training under the week. Also some others are back. They are needed as the young guns were all a bit tired at the end after so many matches for them.

Huge blow for Nürnberg, they must win but with what players, they miss 1st keeper Schäffer almost the whole defending line is suspended with Pinola, Chandler and Plattenhardt. This means a lot of changes and they were not the best in the past. Once again they must win how it is not necessary.



VfL Wolfsburg - Bor. M'Gladbach

Both are still in fight for the CL place. But only a win can hold the aim alive. This means a very open match if one side take the lead and maybe a good choice for some in running bets.



Bayer Leverkusen  - Werder Bremen

With a win Leverkusen can safe the 4th and last place for CL, maybe with a win and S04 lose they can overcome them and climb up one place what should be the better choice for them. But first they have to win and look after it. Bremen plays for nothing only for fun and maybe some money if they climb up some places.
