For years, one would have wished Fortuna would once again have a national player. Now they have some - and they come back hurt, like Alfredo Morales (hamstring). In addition, André Hoffmann and Nana Ampomah, who should have made his Bundesliga debut, caught a cold. No matter. Still better than before.

Kevin Stöger is running again. After his cruciate ligament rupture, the painfully missing midfielder was able to complete the first laps around the field. Meanwhile striker Rouwen Hennings has applied for a contract extension with a nomination for the goal of the month.

Recently, there are connections to Wolfsburg: The new CEO Thomas Röttgermann formerly worked for VfL and now brings his former "Head of Corporate Development" after. Fortuna's chairman has stupidly learned from the newspaper. Not quite that good yet. The encounter for that, hopefully all the more.

You rarely say enough, but the international break came at the right time. The game against the SC Paderborn has shown every weakness of the VfL and you must finally be happy about the point against the promoted. After all, you had two weeks to work through these weaknesses.

With Xaver Schlager, John Anthony Brooks and Koen Casteels three of the most important regular players in the Wolfsburg squad are long out. And that after the third matchday. Do I have to say more?

Against Fortuna Dusseldorf had the VfL last season with a 5-2 and a 3-0 victory two days of cream. This will also be necessary on Friday to paint over the bad news of the past matchday. Especially before the upcoming first Europa League match. The English weeks went well last season, so ...

Since the rise in the Bundesliga Dusseldorf surprised in the weekly rhythm. The first games of the new season have shown that it is quite difficult. Because disappointing teams last season, just like Wolfsburg, have re-established and are harder to beat this season. Although the VfL essential player is missing, the quality of the squad ranges to win in Dusseldorf.

Mood

The defeat at the Alte Försterei was a hearty shot in front of the bow. A win against Leverkusen and ex-coach Bosz could easily turn the mood into positive again and relativize the failure to slip. With another weak performance, it should be restless.

shape

It is still stuck. Particularly frightening was the lethargy of the actors on the lawn in Berlin. Marco Reus is still looking for his form and the expected by Mats Hummels stabilization of the defense has also been missing. The question remains why we are so embarrassing in hostile standard situations so consistently.

Two things to talk about Saturday's win: Our home strength and the fact that the team traditionally play more strongly when they expect a strong opponent. So then ...

Disappointment after the 0: 1 by Pavel Kuka and the threat of relegation, huge cheers after the equalization by Markus Münch and thus achieved relegation. Since then I have seen a lot with the club: the successful Daum era, the triple vice season, another fast relegation, many great players (the biggest: Dimitar Berbatov), ​​countless, partly legendary European Cup games and as many second places. Since 2002 uninterrupted season ticket holders and capable of suffering.

The 0: 0 against Hoffenheim before the international break was sobering, but not a real setback. Now is the first match against a top club this season with the away game in Dortmund, which will bring many lessons.

shape

Against deep Hoffenheim the Werkself had great problems, good chances to play out. Especially the countless corners were far too harmless. After all, there are hardly any personnel problems and Bosz can draw almost full. He only has to do without Julian Brandt. He plays with the opponent.

emotional state

Good for Bayer is that BVB will not put in the back. Since the Leverkusen defense is quite vulnerable this season, she just has to score more goals than she conceded. On to the 5: 4 away win!

That's what the SPON expert types

By Henrik Bahlmann

Most Bundesliga clubs used the international break to make minor corrections. In Dortmund they tried hard not to cause a stir after the defeat at Union Berlin. Leverkusen, on the other hand, despite the draw against Hoffenheim seems to be strengthened and free in the external presentation of worries. That leads them at least to a draw against the coach's former club.

Mood

Mainz fans have become used to the fact that points almost always come in waves with us. Under Jürgen Klopp there were 16 games without a win, under Thomas Tuchel seven wins in a row. Of course, it's never nice to get so washed out like in the past few weeks.

shape

The feeling that in the opponents every shot was a hit and the start of the season was not quite as bad as the bare numbers of zero points and 2:12 goals say is statistically substantiated: According to the statistics "expected goals" the goal difference would only - 4 amount. Nobody else is so clearly behind this value.

emotional state

Last against penultimate sounds like drama. I think both teams are too good for the relegation battle, but of course the loser could get stuck down below. Hertha's defensive play and physical strength are not really there, but my stomach clings to a good feeling called Ádám Szalai.

One point after three games, only two goals scored and already conceded eight - the season start was of course presented differently. In the environment it is still quiet, even if first fans einschießen on the new coach. Total quark, we say and trust that the rudder will be ripped around soon enough.

shape

At Schalke there was a lack of basic things such as willingness to run, duel intensity and communication, so that can be built on almost nothing. There are also hair-raising individual mistakes in the defense. Two weeks to recondition and integrate new signing Marius Wolf are the only things that give you courage.

emotional state

Already on Matchday 4, the team has pressure to earn points - and even at Mainz, which are similarly modest and have been a very disgusting opponent for Hertha for years. It will not be nice, not nice at all. A game that is decided on the mentality, which is why currently no gut feeling is present. Win, no matter how.

That's what the SPON expert types

By Henrik Bahlmann

The Mainzers are the kings of upheaval. After each season half of the cabin is replaced, with the coach Sandro Black must work each. It becomes all the more difficult when a position essential to the Mainz game, such as the storm center, is weakened by several injuries. The transfer of Ádám Szalai should not solve all Mainz problems. Ante Covic celebrates his first victory as Berlin head coach.

The hoped-for stability will therefore continue to wait. With Raphael Framberger, Alfred Finnbogason and Marco Richter coming back offensive forces, which will hopefully soon be involved in the fireworks detonation.

emotional state

The reunion with Martin Hinteregger arouses little euphoria. The Eintracht started well in the season. The good record of the FCA against the SBU can not hide the fact that on Saturday an unfinished meets a well-rehearsed team. I am morally defeated.

Augsburg is considered a relegation candidate number one every year. This year they seem to live up to it. Only one point from the first three games: apart from the defeat against Dortmund, the FCA lost against injury-plagued Bremer and newly promoted Union Berlin. In Augsburg, Frankfurt can integrate the new offensive equipment - and enter the third win of the season.

The derby is back after a one-year break and the peculiarity of this duel is everywhere tangible. It's clear to everyone that Saturday is more than just three points. Borussia can get tailwind for the intense weeks.

The performance against Leipzig was a step in the right direction despite the defeat. Building on this, the derby can be addressed with confidence, even if defender Matthias Ginter is struck due to the rib injury from the international match.

emotional state

The anticipation is great, because Borussia traditionally looks good in Müngersdorf and so it should be this time. I expect a spectacular derby of two teams who meet with an open visor. It remains to be hoped that the spectacle will only be limited to the field and everything else remains in the frame.

The most important thing on this weekend in Cologne will be that it remains peaceful in the stands. It will be unpleasant already on the field, because Cologne will suffer a slight false start by the third defeat in the fourth game.

The basic mood is that Union can actually compete in the Bundesliga. After only three matchdays, and especially after a game against Dortmund, this realization is surprising. Because of the opponents in the first half of the first half, I would not have wondered about the red lantern.

To run. To run. To run. And leave the enemy so little green meadow for recording speed. That is the means by which the Union can exist. Who believes that the team gets tired, is wrong. Under coach Urs Fischer, the team was conditionally always fit.

Almost two weeks ago the victory over Dortmund. Since then we have all floated through Köpenick. I would say that there are still some floating. Should it now work against Bremen again, Berlin's southeast probably lifts off completely. However, from the stadium at the Alte Försterei and not from the BER.

The victory over Augsburg has made for relief, but by far not everything went as you wish. And how, if one half of the squad is missing due to injury? The Bittencourt transfer on Deadline Day was a welcome positive change.

shape

Did we lease the injury pitch exclusively this season? Kevin Möhwald is out of action for half a year, and Niklas Moisander is also missing at least for the Union game. Marco Friedl remains lonely in central defense. Correspondingly, the team will be back on their own with only three players remaining for the defense. Have fun then, Mr Kohfeldt.

In the meantime, I am considering avoiding the internet, radio and all other media. If I hear no reports of further failures, there are none. Or so. That sounds like a plan.

By Henrik Bahlmann

Union Berlin had against Dortmund his sense of achievement and returns against Werder Bremen on the ground. That would be my tip, Bremen would not have such grotesque injury concerns on the defensive. With the loss of captain Niklas Moisander remain Bremen throughout the professional squad three defenders. Inevitably, players from the reserve move into the candidate list for the starting eleven. Maybe the chance for Union to celebrate the next victory in their own stadium.

The players of RB Leipzig are in such a good mood that they are currently even helping Austria to look pretty and play good results. Dayot Upamecano is also fit again. The squad options of Julian Nagelsmann are great. Against the Kovac-FCB RB is in three games without a goal. Timo Werner does not like that at all.

emotional state

The former Bayern would make a clear statement in this game and win 4-0. Respectively, this is the story that tells the Myhtos of the former Bayern. Under Kovac, however, the champion always has phases in which he inexplicably loses control of the action on the pitch. RB uses these phases and does not make too many mistakes in the rest of the season, there are three points in it.

The first cracker of the season is coming. It went on the first three matchdays against the 11th, 12th and 14th of the last Bundesliga season, stands with Leipzig a challenger for the title on the program. Niko Kovac has proved that he can play Leipzig's aggressive pressing. Two victories and a draw is his Bayern record. Also against Julian Nagelsmann he was harmless (two victories).

shape

Seven points from the first three games are fine. However, the Munich came in five competitive games in the current season three times in arrears. The defensive Umschaltspiel after mistakes in the structure was too error-prone. Robert Lewandowski faked the blemish with six goals this season. That's how easy football is.

emotional state

Kovac will puzzle. Against Leipzig he left it in the previous year at 4-2-3-1. A double six from Thiago and Javi Martínez is conceivable, but Martínez played little if anything in the current season. Therefore, Kimmich is more likely to play alongside Thiago. Coutinho played internationals in the US and came back late. Overall, the question arises, how courageously Kovac play on victory. With a draw, both teams could live well early in the season.

That's what the SPON expert types

By Henrik Bahlmann

The top game of the matchday - and although Leipzig's record against Bayern is not good so far, there is hope in persona Julian Nagelsmann. The cooperation of a club with such infrastructural and financial possibilities and such an exciting coach is not only promising in the future, but already up to date. Bayern are allowed to experience this at the weekend, who are still struggling with the integration of their entrances. Bayern Munich finally becomes a Leipzig hunter.

What we would also be on the subject of today's column: A goal, a template and 270 minutes of the game counted Vincenzo Grifo after his first three games for the SC in the Bundesliga round 18/19 (without the TSG game). Compared to this are: zero goals, zero assists and 14 minutes of play for the TSG after three games in the current season.

emotional state

Dear TSG Hoffenheim, what are you afraid of? For your starter Grifo is not good enough, but if he is on the other side of the field, there is suddenly a contract clause? Sell ​​yes, but run up no? Sorry, but that's not fair play. I hope the football goddess punishes that accordingly.

Hoffenheim has changed playfully under his new coach Alfred Schreuder, but no real philosophy seems to be implemented yet. That makes the TSG dangerous, but also vulnerable. Although Freiburg does not play at home, the team shows solid structures that can be used to beat nominally stronger opponents. Like this weekend Hoffenheim.
