FC Bayern and BVB are in the mood for their summit on Tuesday with confident victories. Werder trainer Florian Kohfeldt is happy about an eminently important victory, the Dortmunders announce a prominent farewell. A trainer is about to premiere.
Berlin (AP) - The top meeting can come: On their direct comparison on Tuesday, leaders Bayern Munich and pursuer Borussia Dortmund have attuned themselves to victories on the second ghost matchday.
Bayern gave Eintracht Frankfurt no chance, BVB prevailed in Wolfsburg. Werder Bremen and head coach Florian Kohfeldt were very relieved. A look back at the Saturday games and a look ahead to the Sunday games on match day 27 of the Bundesliga:
GOAL MACHINE: The goal machine has stalled. Not just since the Corona break. In the past three games, RB Leipzig has managed to score two goals combined with just three draws. And the door guard went completely empty. Timo Werner has been waiting for his 22nd goal of the season for 299 minutes. But before the game at FSV Mainz 05 (3.30 p.m. / Sky), the statistics give encouragement: Werner and RB played seven times against Mainz, and he scored ten times. Werner contributed three goals to the 8-0 in the first half of the season.
PRECIOUS: Heiko Herrlich was not in the mood for jokes or small talk this time after his serious chatter from last week. The coach of FC Augsburg also wanted to know about his Corona mishap with the breach of the quarantine rules and the self-imposed ban for the home game against VfL Wolfsburg (1: 2) shortly before the guest appearance at FC Schalke 04 (1.30 p.m. / DAZN and Amazon Prime) do not talk. "I am pleased that it is finally starting for me," said Herrlich.
BEVERAGE CHOICE: The derby fever in the Rhineland is moderate this time - because of the comparison between 1. FC Köln and Fortuna Düsseldorf (6:00 p.m. / Sky), of course, no fans are allowed into the stadium. The derby motivation and "lust" must now be generated by his team himself, said Fortuna coach Uwe Rösler, who experienced hot derbies against United as a Manchester City player and now tried to make the wonderful comparison: "Kölsch is playing against old. And I really like old tastes better. "
VALIDITY: Even a small phase of weakness did not upset Bayern against Frankfurt. The spectacular 5-2 home win was the right mood for the summit in Dortmund. "We had biliousness from the start," said goal scorer Thomas Müller with satisfaction. "We are marching, Dortmund is marching, we can look forward to Tuesday." A curious own goal by Martin Hinteregger sealed his fifth league defeat in a row for the ever slipping Eintracht after his double pack to 2: 3.
INSULATION JUBEL: Werder Bremen coach Florian Kohfeldt hurried into the cabin just a few seconds after the final whistle. "For self-protection, because of course I would have liked to hug one or the other, but that is not possible in these times," said the 37-year-old, referring to the Corona crisis. "That's why I went in, sat in my chair and was happy." The important 1-0 at SC Freiburg was Bremen's first Bundesliga victory since January and an important sign in the relegation battle for the ailing coach.
FAREWELLING: It had been hinting more and more in the past days and weeks, now it is certain: Before the Dortmund 2-0 victory at VfL Wolfsburg, BVB sports director Michael Zorc announced the separation from Mario Götze on the TV channel Sky Season. The winning goal scorer from the 2014 World Cup final against Argentina recently played no role in the plans of coach Lucien Favre. "We are in a situation that is not mutually satisfactory," said Zorc. It is Götze's second farewell to his home club. In 2013 he moved to Bavaria, to the annoyance of Westphalia. Despite three championship titles, he was not happy in Munich. So he returned to Dortmund in 2016. And will go again in 2020.
