Mood

Despite the 4-0 success in Cologne, of course, not everything is peace, joy, pancakes. For this, the team was often too passive and benefited from the almost 50-minute overpayment situation. After two victories in series, the big pressure but has passed first, so that the players can play freer. Things are looking up.

shape

Four goals and played to zero - sounds very good first. And yes, Boyata, Skjelbred and Dilrosun have formed a first axis. The big winners in Cologne were Darida (two assists) and Ibisevic (two goals). However, it does not run smoothly yet. In addition, Grujic, Duda and Selke, achievers of the preseason, remain problem children.

emotional state

Two victories in a row are good, but were won against ailing promoted. In the home game against Dusseldorf, the trend must be confirmed, otherwise the upturn is already history. A real signpost, and with the Fortuna an unpopular opponent travels to Berlin. Three of the last four clashes were lost, including the relegation 2013 - now the trauma must be overcome!

Mood

From my Latin teacher, I learned early on that "fortuna, -ae" unfortunately means not only luck, but also fate. In the meantime, I meet those teachers again regularly: at home games we suffer, block by block, together with our goddess of fate, who is equally responsible for chance, luck and misfortune.

shape

Muscle injuries seem to be the latest hot shit at Fortuna: Zimmer and Kownacki join the injury-related failures. Morales and captain Fink are back for team training.

emotional state

Speaking of Roman goddesses: Despite Catholic education (including religious education at the above-mentioned Latin teacher) I am very superstitious. Therefore, the series of games with at least one hit of Fortuna is still mentioned here. Would be great, she would sometimes lead to points, like already when visiting the Old Lady.

That's what the SPON expert types

By Jorn Meyn

In the Bundesliga Fortuna is unbeaten for seven games against Hertha, the last four games against the Berlin were all won. But the last lurching Herthanians have stabilized themselves with two wins and with Javairô Dilrosun an attacker who could decide the game for Hertha. In short: home win.

Mood

With 7: 2 won against last year's finalist of the Champions League and taken the league lead in the Bundesliga. FC Bayern rush from victory to victory - and that during the Oktoberfest. The autumn could not be more golden for the people of Munich. Would not be the technical terms of the announced cold stick.

shape

FC Bayern has been unbeaten in the Bundesliga for 20 games and TSG Hoffenheim has never won in Munich (two draws, nine defeats). Bayern should be lightly fired before the international break, the rotary machine, as Alaba and Boateng struck returned from London.

emotional state

"The next game is always the hardest," said Sepp Herberger. After the glittering victory in the Champions League this applies in particular to Bayern. Everyone expects a high victory against the twelfth of the Bundesliga table, who has won only one game in the current season. What should go wrong? Sepp Herberger had a premonition.

Often we were compared to the Gallic village. Misunderstanding, because Majestix's men were afraid only that the sky would fall on their heads. The Kraichgauer fears more before the match. Just like in a spa hotel at the sight of a slyly smiling expert: Could 'give' a pack.

shape

Most Hoffenheimers are in top shape, just do not play here anymore. The nominal best players in the squad are on the infirmary, which does not help either. And those who play do not meet. So the hope is based solely on the fact that the hosts are still full of Tuesday.

emotional state

The coach is the poorest sow. Instead of a trump squad, he finds only 'hull squad to take office - do it well with those he has, but that's not good enough at the moment. Approaches are there, but it just does not succeed enough - and probably no surprise on Saturday.

PS: This is the very last glimmer of hope for the TSG: the classic expert tip - maximum next to it.

That's what the SPON expert types

By Jorn Meyn

Festive day in Europe, everyday life in the league for FC Bayern. After the 7: 2 against Tottenham in the Champions League Hoffenheim is now cleared out of the way in the Bundesliga. The Munich have recorded pace this season, while Hoffenheim is not even really come out of the starting blocks. And against any goalkeeper in the league Robert Lewandowski rather than against Hoffenheim's Oliver Baumann (so far 15 times).

Bastian Hahne, 35 years old, journalist from Bergisch Gladbach. Bayer fan since the mid-90s. My first live game was the relegation ending game against 1. FC Kaiserslautern in 1996 and had everything in it, which could tie you up as a fan. 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.

Mood

It remains the case: Under Peter Bosz sweeps the team every small opponent as reliable from the place, as it is against strong opponents without chance. Unfortunately, RB Leipzig belongs to the latter.

shape

The ball possession works. Even at Juventus Turin, the Werkself had more of the ball than their opponents, but could not do much against a good defense. Instead, she invited the opponent with hair-raising mistakes to score.

emotional state

The game against Leipzig offers the opportunity to make amends and to prove that you can beat a top opponent. However, after this evening in Turin and the gossip in Dortmund, the belief in it is missing.

Mood

Are we going to master now, or is it already five minutes ago 'We want Rangnick back' crisis? You really have not really decided on RB Leipzig yet. The fact is that RB will not lose the last two games any more than some of the games have to win before. Football stop.

shape

The fact that Kevin Kampl and Tyler Adams are missing for a while at the same time does not look good for the playful efforts of RB Leipzig from the headquarters. That with Konaté, the perhaps best center-back fails, should be contrasted, if you think of Upamecano and Orban.

emotional state

Whether RB Leipzig can do well with the ball, does not matter much for the match in Leverkusen, because Bayer will take the ball voluntarily. Fast switch-over football against teams with a lot of possession RB has actually been in the past. Let's see if they still can.

That's what the SPON expert types

By Jorn Meyn

Timo Werner has made 99 Bundesliga games for RB Leipzig, scoring 55 goals. The fact that his team has lost twice recently, was also due to the bad chance of the top striker. If Werner finds Bayer back to efficiency, RB wins. If not, there is a draw.

Mood

Despite the important victory in Prague, the mood does not really want to get any better. No wonder: The three points were retracted only with a lot of hanging and choking. Borussia Dortmund simply can not find the class shown against Leverkusen and Barcelona.

shape

It's one of the last unexplained questions in the universe: why are we so incredibly bad at standards? Playfully, it was anything but a treat in Prague. Only in the duels an improvement was noticeable.

emotional state

Third against eighth does not sound extraordinary at the meeting of Freiburg and Dortmund. This time, however, the roles are reversed. And even if our quota in Freiburg is not bad parents, it will be damn difficult.

That's what the SPON expert types

By Jorn Meyn

Six games, four wins, 13 points. So much had the Freiburg in the Bundesliga never at this time. But actually they are playing worse, as table position three suggests, the Dortmund better than their eighth place. The circumstances are again moved straight, the BVB wins, setting a new club record: 17 games in series without defeat against Freiburg.

Yes, we are still waiting for the first victory. No, it is not yet time for optimism. Why? So far, we have played almost exclusively against teams that started well. At Mainz, Cologne and Dusseldorf is now spotted strong, that's for sure.

shape

More and more Paderborners regularly reach Bundesliga level. Jamilu Collins has been one of my favorite players for some time now and is rewarding with his first SCP win in the last race. Kai Pröger stands as a joker and Luca Kilian fuels the competition in central defense vigorously. If a few more players increase their performance, the points come all by themselves.

Mood

The Mainzer way into the Bundesliga is paved with overcome negative experiences. And indeed it is relatively quiet in the environment even after the fifth defeat of the season. A defeat in Paderborn before the international break, however, could change that.

shape

And every day greets the Murmemtier: much effort, decent performance, no yield. Especially with a young team, there is the danger that you can not escape the negative spiral and eventually the services follow the results. But that is not the case yet.

emotional state

A young team, a suspended coach, many injured - the conditions to overturn the Bock in Paderborn, are not very good. Courage is that the five defeats of the season all came against teams from the upper half of the table, while in the only basement duel under similar conditions emerged victorious.

That's what the SPON expert types

By Jorn Meyn

If Paderborn scores, then so far only at home. There were two draws for the table last. The climber is still waiting for the first victory of the season. Against the table-16. Mainz he succeeds.

The 0: 4 against Hertha BSC was a bitter blow in the stomach. The doubts multiply in Cologne, it is heatedly discussed about those responsible. The best remedy for unrest in your own club: points. But how is that supposed to succeed in the formidable Schalke? It lacks a little imagination at the FC - in the game and in the stands.

shape

Zero points, 0: 9 goals - that is the sobering September balance sheet of 1. FC Cologne. Too harmless in the front, too open in the back: there is really a lot of hope in the recent past. Maybe the Berlin debacle was the warning shot at the right time. As a fan you will still be allowed to dream modestly.

emotional state

Schalke with an extremely wide chest, the FC's heads are already hanging pretty much. It all looks like a classic relegation season. Halfway decent against good opponents, but without reward. Very weak against opponents who are supposed to be at eye level. There is only one belief in a surprise on Schalke. Who, if not the glorious FC?

Mood

Three wins in a row in the Bundesliga are remarkable, but at Borussia are all judicious enough to classify that correctly. Because despite the good results, there are performance fluctuations that punish better opponents.

shape

At the end of the English week, the match against Augsburg will be a special challenge not only because of the early kick-off time at 13.30. The Gladbach style is exhausting and the Europa League match on Thursday in Istanbul will still be on the ball for the players on Sunday.

emotional state

Augsburg is always an unpleasant opponent for Borussia and that will be this time as well. Nevertheless, the FCA is one of the teams you have to beat at home for an ambitious Foal Elf. And she will.

The defeat against Leverkusen has called the pessimists back on the plan, the "always" knew that can be nothing with the FCA anyway. More thoughtful followers keep it with the motto that no one has descended in October and the defensive performance over long distances was respectable.

shape

The selection for the lineup is getting bigger, Schmidt continues to try around many positions. The team is thus still in the identification phase, but at least Niederlechner meets quite reliably - if not always the right goal.

emotional state

Gladbach is one of the nominally stronger opponents, against whom the FCA nevertheless has a very good balance. Of course, that helps a little on Sunday. So that the nerve costume continues the strenuous program of the next few weeks, I reckon with a defeat and hope for more - at least nothing can shake me.

That's what the SPON expert types

By Jorn Meyn

Better than now, with 13 points after six games, Gladbach was at the same time in the Bundesliga only twice there: each in the glory for the club 1970s years. Three victories were given to the team of Marco Rose successively. Against Augsburg follows the fourth.

Mood

The recent appearances of VfL are not necessarily the best mood. Attacking little or nothing, you either win 1: 0 (as against Mainz) or play 1: 1 (as against St. Etienne). It is certainly not nice to look at it.

shape

The good news first: After the international break the injured Koen Casteels could return. But the absence of Admir Mehmedi and his creativity made itself felt in the Europa League. His use against Union is always endangered. There is no return date for John Anthony Brooks.

emotional state

Anything that I could write about my emotional state here would just be annoyed whining. Even against Union is to be reckoned with an ugly game. The only question is whether and how many points are taken in the current lack of ideas.

The mood in Union is still good. Because even with three defeats in a row, the team is even better than many expected. We discussed more about the volume of the Capo microphones than about the table.

shape

The team has to be careful that despite the defeats, it does not slip into such a "far-to-be-there-is-all-good" mood, but rather keeps up the tension. This is the art of the first half of the first half with many tough opponents.

emotional state

Above all, Wolfsburg has the charm for Berlin clubs that it takes just under an hour to catch the train. And since that may be too easy, a few fans have actually set foot on foot one week before the match to go hiking. First league season stops. We are not all really ticking yet.

That's what the SPON expert types

By Jorn Meyn

In the Wolfsburg stadium there are now 5G - and apparently no more defeats for the VfL. None of the past ten home games Wolfsburg has lost. And newly promoted Union is still waiting for the first Bundesliga away win. Prediction: Wolfsburg win, but the Union fans celebrate anyway.

The team from the Eintracht Frankfurt podcast has been offering a kind of therapy for fans since 2010 with weekly audio broadcasts.

Mood

The games against Union Berlin and Vitória Guimarães were not necessarily nice, but in the end successful. The concord is on target and everyone could be satisfied if it were not for the current failures and a game concept that is still too rarely visible.

shape

The injuries of Makoto Hasebe and especially Kevin Trapp were felt especially on the defensive. It's good that Evan N'Dicka is back in the field and Danny da Costa is an option. All eyes are now on the replacement goalkeeper Frederik Rönnow.

emotional state

The Bremen get many goals this season. That's good, because at the moment we need a lot of experiments. A break before the international break would be extremely important for the players to breathe and get used to the changes in the defensive.

Mood

The rumor that BVB wants to have Kohfeldt as Favre successor, could cause concern. But it does not, since Kohfeldt has knocked it off directly. If the injury misery does not make us small, should it now create such rumors? Not with Werder.

shape

The central defense fills up slowly. Toprak is even starting eleven candidate. This could cause some rotation in the defense.

emotional state

The draw in Dortmund was incredibly good in all respects. From the players on the court, the coaching staff and the guest block. One unity. This gives confidence for the last task before the international break. Why not just win in Frankfurt?

That's what the SPON expert types

By Jorn Meyn

It should be humorous. Only Bayern (101) has scored more shots in the current season than Frankfurt and Werder (96 each). Because Bremen has scored twice in their previous three away games and Frankfurt have not won two series in a row since the beginning of April, this time the North Germans are the winners of the field.
