A preliminary decision can already be made in the classic of the German women’s football Bundesliga between Wolfsburg and Bayern Munich. In addition, the European Championship qualifying duel on April 5th in Linz is casting its shadow ahead.
Bayern Munich and VfL Wolfsburg: These two clubs have shared the championship title in the German Bundesliga for eleven years. And this year too the bowl will go to one of the two cities. With six laps to go, the Munich team is four points ahead of the club from VW City. On Saturday (5:45 p.m., live on ARD and DAZN), the club of the two ÖFB legionnaires Sarah Zadrazil and Katharina Naschenweng, who are still unbeaten in the league, can take a big step towards successfully defending their title. The Salzburg woman was able to celebrate with the Bayern men at the joint championship celebration at Munich’s Marienplatz last season. For Naschenweng it would be the title premiere. The Carinthian only moved from Hoffenheim to Munich before this season and has fought for a regular place as a full-back with goalscoring qualities (three goals this season).
The hit rises in the big stadium
For the top game, Wolfsburg even moved to the Volkswagen Arena, the home stadium of the VfL men’s division. The Bayern women have not managed to win away from home against their long-term rivals for 15 years. But self-confidence is high, as was recently seen in the convincing 5-0 win against newly promoted RB Leipzig. The Wolves, on the other hand, had their heads hanging because a 1-2 loss in Hoffenheim meant a severe setback to the title ambitions of last year’s Champions League finalists.
Meeting of 13 DFB national players
For Katharina Naschenweng and Sarah Zadrazil, the meeting also brings a foretaste of the hit in the European Championship qualifier against Germany on April 5th in Linz. They meet five DFB national players in training at Bayern every day, and eight kickers from legendary coach Horst Hrubesch’s team are active at Wolfsburg. However, their top star Alexandra Popp will be out injured. Ewa Pajor, the most prominent player from Poland, Austria’s next opponent in the European Championship qualification (April 9th away), is in Wolfsburg’s squad.
Before the ÖFB double date, the DFB Cup semi-finals will take place next weekend. For the Bayern women there is a kind of red-white-red summit meeting against Eintracht Frankfurt with the Austrians Verena Hanshaw, Barbara Dunst and Virginia Kirchberger.
