After two months of suspension, the Bundesliga will officially restart this weekend. The highlight of this round is undoubtedly Ruerderby. After the league reopens, the first round will usher in a heavy match, which will undoubtedly raise the enthusiasm of the fans to a high point. However, because of the empty space, the Ruerderby will be less hot than before. The defending champion Bayern Munich will challenge the promoted Berlin United away from home. Leipzig's opponent is Freiburg.
Dusseldorf vs Paderborn (kick-off at 21:30 on May 16, Beijing time)
Dusseldorf, who fought at home, ranked third from the bottom of the championship and Paderborn first from the bottom. The difference between the two teams was 6 points. There is no doubt that this game is an all-out relegation war, which means that the winning or losing of a game is 6 points, not 3 points.
Hennings, the top scorer of Dusseldorf, has failed to score in eight consecutive games. His goal count has remained at 11. Facing Paderborn, who lost the second most goals this season, Hennings is eager to get out of the predicament. His performance may determine the team's victory or defeat to a large extent.
Paderborn has lost 17 games after 25 rounds. In the 2014-2015 season, when Paderborn last played in the Bundesliga, they also had 17 negative games after 25 rounds. That season, they finally ranked at the bottom and were demoted. Paderborn has basically booked a demotion quota in advance this season.
Dortmund VS Schalke 04 (kick-off at 21:30 on May 16, Beijing time)
Duote is 4 points behind Bayern in the championship, but the most popular Ruerderby can only be held in the empty because of the epidemic. Harland, who experienced the Ruhr Derby for the first time, said: "It's like a piece of shit. To be honest, I really miss Dortmund's fans. It's really strange to play such a game. Yes, it's like shit. I need the strength of the fans."
In this game, captain Royce will continue to be absent due to injury, but the excellent performances of Harland and Sancho have filled the vacancy of Royce. In 2020, Harland scored 9 goals and Sancho scored 5 goals. As you know, Shark's team scored only 4 goals. Recently, Dorte's whole team is in good competitive condition. The team has won four consecutive games, which is the longest winning streak of Dorte in the league this season.
The history of Ruerderby can be traced back to 1925. It is a game full of tradition, regional politics and strong local pride. In the Bundesliga, the two sides played 95 times, with Dot winning 33, drawing 30 and losing 32.
In contrast to Schalke 04, Royal Blue has failed to win seven games, which is also the longest consecutive record of the Bundesliga club this season. However, when facing their sworn enemies in Ruhr District, Shark's players always have special experience. In the past eight Ruhr derbies, Shark's record is 2 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss.
Dortmund's prediction premiere:
Burki/Pishchak, Humers, Akanji/Ashraf, Brandt, Delaney, Guerrero/Sancho, Harland, Little Azar
RB Leipzig VS Freiburg (kick-off at 21:30 on May 16, Beijing time)
As a half distance champion, Leipzig's poor performance recently made them fall from the first place to the third place, and there is a gap of 5 points from Bayern Munich. Leipzig has won only two of the past seven Bundesliga matches. Freiburg is Werner's favorite opponent, scoring 10 goals against Freiburg Werner 11 times. Freiburg has lost three away games in Leipzig. Their prospects are still not optimistic in this away game. Petersen, Freiburg's top scorer, is also in a bad state. After surpassing Lew to become the top scorer in Freiburg's history, Petersen has not scored in seven consecutive rounds.
Hoffenheim vs Hertha Berlin (kick-off at 21:30 on May 16, Beijing time)
Hoffenheim has been in a bad situation in the recent period. The team has not won five games, which is also the longest unbeaten record under coach Xu Lude.
Hoffenheim's performance at home is often unsatisfactory. They lost 7 of the 13 home games, which is one of the few teams in the Bundesliga whose home record is lower than that of the away game.
Instead, their opponent Hertha Berlin is a team with good away record. Hertha Berlin has remained unbeaten in the past five away games, while the longest away unbeaten record of the club is 8. The capital team needs to work harder.
Augsburg vs Wolfsburg (kick-off at 21:30 on May 16, Beijing time)
After the team lost 2-0 to Bayern Munich, Augsburg announced the dismissal of its coach Martin Schmidt and his assistant Sartorius. He also announced that Hershey would become the new manager and sign the contract until 2022.
Augsburg has won 7, drawn 6, and lost 12 this season. It is currently ranked 14th in the league. It is only 5 points away from the relegation zone, which is not safe.
In the final battle of last season, Wolfsburg massacred Augsburg 8-1, and high center Wegerhorst scored a hat trick. The 8-1 score was also the biggest difference for Wolfsburg in the history of Bundesliga. Augsburg naturally hoped that this game could wipe out its former shame.
It is worth mentioning that Hershey, the new coach of Augsburg, failed to win the competition because he left the hotel to buy toothpaste and skin cream before the game. This is undoubtedly a huge blow to Augsburg.
Frankfurt VS Menxing (kick-off at 00:30 on May 17, Beijing time)
Frankfurt has been in a low state recently. The league has suffered three consecutive defeats, and its ranking has dropped to 12th place, just 6 points away from the relegation zone. Menxing has been in a relatively stable state since the second half of the journey, but only 2 points ahead of Leverkusen behind him.
Both teams hope to win this game. If Frankfurt loses again, it will be closer and closer to the relegation zone. Menxing also needs to win to maintain his position in the Champions League.
Cologne VS Mainz (kick-off at 21:30 on May 17, Beijing time)
Cologne is only 4 points away from the European war zone. If you only look at the team's performance in the second half, Cologne's points can rank fourth. In the first half, Cologne was still a team with no hope of relegation, while in the second half, the team showed a completely different performance.
In the past six Bundesliga home games, Cologne won five of them, and the only home game he lost was against the leader Bayern Munich. Cologne is very strong at home.
Mainz should be careful not to lose the ball first, because the team lost all of their eight games this season.
Berlin United vs Bayern Munich (kick off at 0:00 on May 18, Beijing time)
In the second half, Bayern continued its strong performance after the change of coach in the first half, winning 8 games and drawing 1 in 9 rounds, and established a 4 point lead in the championship. This suspension of Bayern Munich is a big beneficiary. Levan, who was injured in the first leg of the Champions League quarter final, can play again after two months' rest, which is undoubtedly the biggest benefit for Bayern's attack.
If Bayern have something bothering them now, it is undoubtedly the contract renewal work of several important officials in the team. Noyle also said in an interview with the media a few days ago that "there will be no new news before this Sunday". In order to avoid repeated questioning by the media. However, it is believed that with the resumption of the game, it will also contribute to the advancement of Bayern's negotiations.
Bayern predicted the first round:
Neuer/Paval, Boateng, Alaba, Davis/Kimish, Tiago/Gnabri, Muller, Koman/Levandovsky
Werder Bremen vs Leverkusen (2:30 on May 19, Beijing time)
[The Bundesliga is restarted on Saturday! Are you ready for the exclusive live broadcast of PP sports?] Werder Bremen were German champions 10 years ago. However, Werder Bremen are now a relegation team in the Bundesliga, and they have to fight for relegation every season. This season, they ranked second from the bottom in the championship, and without the interference of multi line combat, but the team has enough room to adjust in time and space. With the situation of waiting for work at ease, Bremen has the opportunity to make up for the weakness in strength.
On October 15, 2016, Haffetz made his first Bundesliga debut in the match between Leverkusen and Werder Bremen, and he became the youngest Bundesliga player in the history of the pharmaceutical factory.
On March 2, 2016, during Werder Bremen's away game against Leverkusen, Pizarro scored three hat tricks in the 55th minute, 65th minute and 83rd minute. He also became the oldest player to score hat tricks in Bundesliga history. This is Pizarro's last season, and he hopes to use every opportunity to improve his goals. Can he gain anything in this battle? We know in the game.
