1.BL Saturday afternoon !!

VfL Wolfsburg - Eintracht Frankfurt

Wolfsburg come from a 1-2 lose to Bayern Munich to this encounter. It is very important for them not to lose again, better to win if they want to compete with the other teams on top of the table otherwise they have to look after other aims. With such an excellent squad and a lot of budget it is a must for them to fight for an CL spot. Coach Hecking maybe change a bit to the lose in Munich, Arnold is a good option and also in offensive he has a lot now.
Frankfurt with a win in the back can come here and look what they are able to get. But they do not like this stadium because in 12 attempts they won only 1. Nevertheless a new chance above all with their new coach Schaaf who was pleased with the start but he said that the whole team has to improve but step by step.


Bayer Leverkusen - Hertha BSC Berlin

Wow, wow, wow, Leverkusen is the best playing team in Germany at the moment. They absolutely dominated Dortmund last saturday and also in CL Kopenhagen was outplayed. Coach Schmitt has a very good idea how he wants to play and this is high pressing but it is also complex. The players must invest a lot and they have to run from beginning on. If they can play such a system for the whole season it is doubtful. Now they are at the beginning and all are fresh, so this is the key for their success. Also they score in all their matches very early what makes it also much easier. Above all Kießling has a huge run and he scores and scores.
Maybe hard times for Hertha today in Leverkusen but they had also a hard second half against Bremen last weekend. They were up 2-0 und played really strong but after the break Bremen scored with the first chance and after it Hertha was totally down. They are shocked and at the end they were not able to continue their good play from 1st half. This can be a key fact because if Leverkusen take the lead they have to bounce back. Some good news too, they signed Kalou from Lille what makes them stronger in offensive. But he is not in the squad today.


Werder Bremen - 1899 Hoffenheim

What a comeback from Bremen last weekend and now they are looking forward to go the next step but it would be not so easy today. Hoffenheim made a lot of good signings and the defensive line is much better as last season and they are hard to beat this time. Normally this match is a high scoring one but after Hoffenheim strength their defensive a lot it is a doubt in my eyes. Also I do not think that Bremen runs out and play very offensive as Coach Dutt said that 1899 is the favorite here.
