Bundesliga Friday game – Cologne vs. Hertha

The Friday game on this match day is Cologne against Hertha, where the Berlin guests absolutely have to score. 3 games, 3 wins is the motto of Berlin coach Pal Dardai. Meanwhile, it became known during the week that Hertha must fear for the game license and may have to accept forced relegation due to irregularities in financial operations. Furthermore, Effzeh is usually in a good mood against Hertha and has won 7 of the last 11 games.

Bundesliga Saturday at 3:30 p.m. – Bayern, Union, Freiburg

On Bundesliga Saturday at 3:30 p.m., FC Bayern can present themselves in the fight for the title when they face Schalke in the home game. However, for Schalke it is also about big points in the relegation battle. That’s why the game becomes an explosive duel.

Union and Freiburg continue to play against each other, who are having an outstanding season. In addition, the teams can also get into the Champions League for the first time. It should be a high-class duel, because Union are still unbeaten at home and Freiburg are the second-best away team in the league.

Another important game on Saturday is Frankfurt against Mainz in a direct duel for the Europa League starting places. At Frankfurt, head coach Glasner is on a farewell tour because he will leave the club in the summer and will no longer work as a Frankfurt coach. Glasner’s success with last season’s Europa League victory speaks for itself. In the end he lost touch with the team and attracted attention with his angry speech on the PK.

In addition, Wolfsburg has a home game against Hoffenheim and needs a win to stay in the long-distance duel with Leverkusen, Mainz and Frankfurt. Bochum and Augsburg will also play against each other on Saturday.

Bundesliga Sunday game – Leverkusen and Leipzig

On Bundesliga Sunday there are two games with Stuttgart against Leverkusen and Leipzig against Bremen. While Stuttgart are out of shape again with new coach Sebastian Hoeneß, Leverkusen can score important points for Europe. In addition, Leipzig can defend third place with a home win against Bremen.
