13th Bundesliga matchday: 5 Bayern stars back after Corona chaos – Bundesliga

13th matchday in the Bundesliga!

Here you can find the latest information and the expected line-ups of all games on Saturday and Sunday.

Wolfsburg – Dortmund (Saturday, 3:30 p.m.)

Trauma: The statistics select the “feared opponent”. VfL only got one point from the last 12 games against BVB. The wolves did not score a goal nine times in a row.

Lineup: Pervan – Lacroix, Guilavogui, Brooks – Baku, Vranckx, Arnold, Otavio – L. Nmecha, Lukebakio – Weghorst.

BILD reporter Kurt Hofmann: “A look at the statistics gives Wolfsburg goose bumps. Against Dortmund there has been more on the hat than on the points account for years. Since not everything at BVB is going according to plan and above all, the statistics will be spiced up on Saturday. VfL fought for a point. “

★★★

Failure: Bellingham (muscular problems) is absent, but Mo Dahoud could make his starting XI comeback. Marius Wolf is also back in the squad after a hamstring tear. Guerreiro jiggles with muscle problems. Zagadou could play for him.

Lineup: Kobel – Meunier, Hummels, Akanji, Guerreiro – Dahoud, Witsel, Can – Brandt – Malen, Reus.

BILD-Reporter Sebastian Kolsberger: “After the disgrace in Lisbon, BVB will face the next tough opponent. Because the personnel situation has not really changed, Dortmund can live very well with one point. “

BILD tip: 1: 1

Cologne – Gladbach (Saturday, 3.30 p.m.)

Keeper premiere: Bundesliga debut for substitute goalkeeper Schwänke after the horn injury (knee). Striker Modeste is fit in time.

Lineup: Schwabe – Schmitz, Kilian, Czichos, Hector – Skhiri – Özcan, Ljubicic, Kainz – Modeste, Uth

BILD reporter Ulrich Bauer: “Cologne under pressure after five games without a win. At home, however, FC are a force and can play in front of 50,000 fans again. The decisive factor will be how the boys from coach Steffen Baumgart deal with their chances. If you leave as much as in most of the last games, the first home bankruptcy of the season threatens. “

★★★

Comeback: Gladbach lost only one of the last seven league games. Elvedi returns to central defense after torn ligaments. Lainer (broken ankle) is back in the squad for the first time since matchday two.

Lineup: Summer – Scally, Ginter, Elvedi, Bensebaini – Zakaria, Koné, Neuhaus, Hofmann – Plea, Stindl.

BILD reporter Dirk Krümpelmann: “Gladbach lost the last derby in February at home with 1: 2. Also because the then coach Marco Rose spared a number of regular players. The team now wants to reconcile the fans. And the chances are good – trainer Adi Hütter, unlike Rose, definitely wants to have the top line-up. “

PICTURE tip: 2: 3

Hertha – Augsburg (Saturday, 3.30 p.m.)

Good omen: Coach Dardai has never lost to Augsburg (five wins, five draws). And Hertha never conceded a Bundesliga home bankruptcy against FCA (four wins and five draws).

Lineup: Schwolow – Pekarik, Stark, Dardai, Plattenhardt – Ascacibar, Serdar – Richter, Ekkelenkamp, ​​Mittelstädt – Piatek.

BILD reporter Roberto Lamprecht: “Hertha is burning to make amends after the Derby bankruptcy at Union (0-2). After a busy week of training with a lot of fire, the reward against Augsburg now follows in the Olympic Stadium, where Hertha recently made convincing performances against Gladbach (1: 0) and Leverkusen (1: 1). “

★★★

Debut: Due to the injury to Oxford (thigh), central defender Winther is about to make his Bundesliga debut. Fit again: Vargas (Corona) and Niederlechner (feet).

Lineup: Gikiewicz – Gumny, Gouweleeuw, Winther, Iago – Maier, Dorsch – Vargas, Pedersen – Hahn, Zeqiri.

BILD reporter Thorsten Felske: “After the sensational victory against the record champions Bayern Munich (2-1), Augsburg is on cloud nine. Unfortunately, that will bring them down again at Hertha BSC. The statistics alone speak completely against the FCA: The last six Bayern conquerors did not win their subsequent league game (two draws, four defeats). The Berliners have never lost a Bundesliga home game against Augsburg (four wins and five draws). Pal Dardai is unbeaten as Bundesliga coach against the Swabians (five wins, five draws). Sure, statistics don’t play football, but Hertha is now much more under pressure than FCA. The Berliners got only one point from the last three games, plus the embarrassing bankruptcy in the derby against Union (0: 2). Unfortunately, Augsburg is feeling all of this frustration. “

Fürth – Hoffenheim (Saturday, 3.30 p.m.)

Historical: If Greuther Fürth also loses the eleventh game in a row, the cloverleaf sets the 36-year-old Bundesliga record of local rivals 1. FC Nürnberg.

Lineup: Funk – Meyerhöfer, Bauer, Sarpei, Willems – Griesbeck – Tillman, Nielsen, Green – Hrgota, Itten.

BILD reporter Marco Werzinger: “Seven players are missing, three are wobbling. The prerequisites for a clover-leaf turn are extremely bad. “

★★★

Ill goalkeeper: Rudy, Baumgartner, Kaderabek, Skov and Bicakcic are still missing injured or sick. Goalkeeper Baumann also has an infection, and coach Hoeneß is still hoping for a recovery.

Lineup: Baumann – Posch, Grillitsch, Vogt – Akpoguma, Samassekou, Geiger, Raum – Kramaric – Bebou, Rutter.

PICTURE Reporter Peter Moufarrège: “There were only embarrassments away recently. Coach Hoeneß gave a speech on Monday after the 2-0 win against Leipzig, calling for performance as a benchmark. If Hoffenheim only brings 80 percent of it onto the pitch, Fürth should have a hard time, especially since striker Kramaric is back after a head injury. “

BILD tip: 0: 2

Bochum – Freiburg (Saturday, 3.30 p.m.)

Home strength: Bochum last at home three times without conceding a goal (two wins, one draw). Holtmann slips straight back into the starting line-up after groin surgery.

Lineup: Riemann – Stafylidis, Masovic, Lampropoulos, Danilo Soares – Losilla – Rexhbecaj, Löwen – Asano, Holtmann – Polter

BILD reporter Joachim Droll: “The foundation stone for relegation should continue to be laid in the Ruhrstadion. VfL have been without conceding a goal for 282 minutes. Freiburg is now becoming a real acid test for the defensive. “

★★★

Record: For coach Streich, the Bochum game is his 300th Bundesliga game as SC coach. Nils Petersen (knee) and Jonathan Schmid (corona episodes) are still missing.

Lineup: Flekken – Kübler, Lienhart, N. Schlotterbeck, Günter – M. Eggestein, Höfler – Schade, Grifo – Jeong – Höler

BILD reporter Thomas Lipke: “Ten games without a bankruptcy have recently been followed by two defeats. Nevertheless, the SC is still self-confident, which was also seen against Eintracht. What definitely has to get better in Bochum is the creation of opportunities and degrees. If that succeeds, a new series can be started with the newcomer. “

Bavaria – Bielefeld (Saturday, 6.30 p.m.)

Care for: Kimmich, Choupo-Moting (Corona), Sabitzer (calf), Nianzou (shoulder) and Sarr (adductors) are missing. Süle, Stanisic (Corona), Gnabry, Musiala, Cuisance (quarantine) are returning.

Lineup: Neuer – Pavard, Upamecano, Hernández, Davies – Goretzka, Tolisso – Coman, Müller, Sané – Lewandowski

BILD reporter David Verhoff: “Nagelsmann’s defensive worries are getting a little smaller: After thigh problems in Kiev, Hernández was able to take part in the final training session in Munich on Friday – as was Süle after his corona isolation ended. Like Josip Stanisic, the DFB star is not yet an option for the starting XI. Upamecano missed the 2-1 in the Champions League. Now he’s back after the yellow card ban. However, Nianzou fell unhappily on his shoulder in Kiev and suffered a painful torn ligament. Sabitzer sustained a small muscular injury in the junction of the muscle tendons on his calf, while Sarr suffered a fiber tear in his adductors. In addition, the two stars Kimmich and Choupo-Moting who are currently suffering from Corona are missing. The negative PCR test result from Gnabry, Musiala and Cuisance is positive. You are allowed out of quarantine on Saturday at midnight and are at least in the squad. Nagelsmann still has personnel worries and has to do without five stars against Bielefeld – at least four fewer than in Kiev … “

★★★

Failures: Left-back Czyborra is out due to an appendix operation. Striker Krüger (ill) is also not in the squad.

Lineup: Ortega – Brunner, Pieper, Nilsson, Laursen – Vasiliadis, Prietl – Wimmer, Schöpf, Okugawa – Klos

BILD reporter Rainer Hoffmann: Arminia’s chances at the record champions are minimal. Only if the Bielefeld team courageously play forward, try to add small pinpricks, you might get a point – like the last time you played in Munich.

PICTURE tip: 4: 1

Frankfurt – Union (Sunday, 3:30 p.m.)

Home weakness: Eintracht haven’t won a league game at home. At Super-Euro-Joker Paciência it is not enough for the starting eleven after a muscle injury, but Hinteregger is fit again.

Lineup: Trapp – Tuta, Hinteregger, Ndicka – Chandler, Sow, Jakic, Kostic – Lindstrøm, Kamada – Borré.

BILD reporter Yannick Hüber: “Coach Glasner recently managed to bring more and more structure and coordination into the offensive game. Stars like Trapp and Kamada that stagnated at the beginning of the season are working again, newcomers like Lindstrøm and Borré are finally finding their way. The process is not yet fully developed, however – especially at home – the constancy of 90 minutes is missing. That could also become a factor against Union. “

★★★

Personal: Coach Urs Fischer should rotate again after the 1-0 win in Haifa on Thursday. Goalkeeper Andreas Luthe and the Haifa banned captain Christopher Trimmel should return to the starting line-up, for example. Kruse could stay outside for the time being.

Lineup: Luthe – Friedrich, Knoche, Baumgartl – Trimmel, Prömel, Öztunali, Gießelmann – Haraguchi – Becker, Awoniyi.

BILD reporter Matthias Koch: “Union arrives fifth in the table and has a good European Cup feeling. Since Frankfurt also played on Thursday, there are no physical disadvantages beforehand. It smells like an increase in points.

PICTURE tip: 2: 2

Leipzig – Leverkusen (Sunday, 5.30 p.m.)

Three back: The Corona-ill coach Marsch is missing as well as goalkeeper Gulacsi. Martinez will replace him. In addition, Simakan (after a cold), Haidara and Szoboszlai (both ankles) should come back to the squad.

Lineup: Martinez – Mukiele, Klostermann, Gvardiol, Angeliño – Laimer, Kampl – Forsberg, Nkunku – Brobbey, Silva.

BILD reporter Stefan Krause: “RB Leipzig is a lucky bag: disaster performance in Hoffenheim, then the gala in Bruges. In Belgium the team showed their real potential for the first time this season. However, due to the corona illness of coach Jesse Marsch and due to the many failures, the situation was like after a change of coach. Now there is also the fact that no spectators are allowed in Leipzig. Let’s see who can cope better with it. The fact is: Leverkusen is one of Leipzig’s favorite opponents, out of a total of ten duels only one was lost. “

★★★

Recommendation: With his strong joker in the 3-2 win over Celtic Glasgow, Amiri advertised himself for the starting line-up. Demirbay (4 yellow) threatens a suspension.

Lineup: Hradecky – Frimpong, Tah, Tapsoba, Hincapie – Diaby, Andrich, Demirbay, Amiri – Wirtz – Adli

BILD reporter Phillip Arens: “After the weak phase in autumn, Leverkusen is gradually getting back on the road to success – even if everything is far from perfect. The fact is: Bayer has worked its way through a difficult situation, including in terms of personnel. The Werkself are currently defying all odds and turned the game into a 3: 2 against Celtic with great morale after the 1: 2. However, Leverkusen cannot afford mistakes on the defensive and in exploiting chances like against Glasgow in Leipzig – RB is a completely different caliber than the playfully limited Scots. “

BILD tip: 1: 1.
