Bundesliga: That was Saturday, that will come on Sunday

Berlin (dpa) – Borussia Dortmund presented a tremendous victory even without Erling Haaland. Before the international break, FC Bayern want to extend their lead over BVB at the top of the table in the Bundesliga.

Today Munich’s Eintracht Frankfurt welcomes them as one of their favorite opponents. After the arduous 2-1 win against FC Augsburg, Dortmund is mainly talking about the missing star striker, while Hertha BSC continues to focus on coach Pal Dardai. The most important thing about the seventh matchday:

Eye catcher: Haaland was the focus even without a commitment. The star striker in the white sweater stood out in the stands, and the 21-year-old was also a topic of conversation after the final whistle. BVB coach Marco Rose spoke out clearly against a nomination by Haaland for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers. «I understand the Norwegian association. But he’s a human, not a machine. And if it doesn’t work, then it won’t work, “said Rose. Haaland was last active for BVB two weeks ago and is absent with a stubborn thigh injury.

Commitment: Shortly after the new setback, Pal Dardai received a public job guarantee. Despite the 1: 2 against SC Freiburg, from the point of view of sports director Fredi Bobic, there is no coach question at Hertha BSC. When asked whether Dardai would continue to coach the Berliner after the international break, the ex-international said: “Yes, again, because the performance – I also told Pal – is overall okay.” After the 0: 6 against RB Leipzig, Hertha clearly missed the hoped-for reparation. This is one of the reasons why Lothar Matthäus brought Edin Terzic back into play as a potential successor as a Sky expert – even if Bobic clearly denied contact with Dortmund a good two weeks ago.

Numbers for Saturday:

5 – After the furious 5: 1 against newly promoted SpVgg Greuther Fürth, VfB Stuttgart was unsuccessful in five league games. The 3-1 win against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim made it possible to join the midfield.

16 – Borussia Mönchengladbach ended the misery of 16 away games without a win at VfL Wolfsburg with a 3-1 win.

21 – RB Leipzig did not lose any of their 21 Bundesliga games against a newcomer, this is the league record. In the 3-0 win against VfL Bochum, coach Jesse Marsch’s team struggled for a long time.

30 – In his 250th Bundesliga game, Freiburg’s Nils Petersen already scored the 30th joker goal – with that he expanded the record with the 2-1 winner at Hertha BSC.

Serie: FC Bayern could increase its lead over pursuers Dortmund to four points. The record against Eintracht Frankfurt speaks clearly for the Munich team before the game on Sunday (5.30 p.m. / DAZN). The record champions won all of the past twelve duels at home, while the Hessians only took one point out of the past 16 guest appearances. “I noticed the number briefly while scouring the gazettes,” said coach Julian Nagelsmann. However, the whole thing is “not so relevant” for him, he just wants to expand the success statistics.

In the last game of the seventh matchday (7.30 p.m. / DAZN) Bayer Leverkusen had the chance to overtake Dortmund and SC Freiburg with a win at Arminia Bielefeld.
