Game Preview   When Union Berlin hosts Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga on Sunday, they will be looking to snap a four-game winless streak. By winning away, the visitors would put themselves two points behind their hosts in the standings.   After returning from the World Cup in January, Union Berlin won all six of their opening games across all competitions. But, they have now experienced their first losing streak of the year, which culminated in a humiliating 3-0 Europa League loss to Union SG on Thursday. Urs Fischer’s team battled back from three successive deficits to tie the

    Game Preview   As RB Leipzig travels to VfL Bochum this weekend, they will be looking to avenge their humiliating 7-0 loss to Manchester City in the Champions League midweek. By defeating FC Koln last weekend, the hosts, meanwhile, climbed outside of the Bundesliga’s relegation positions.   Few people would have given Bochum any hope of winning against Steffen Baumgart’s team, let alone returning to Bochum with all three points, given that they had dropped 11 of their previous 12 league away games. But Thomas Letsch’s team did just that, winning on the road for just the second

    Game Preview   When Stuttgart plays home to Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga on Saturday, both teams will be looking to pick up their winning ways. Last weekend, Stuttgart earned a respectable 1-1 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt on the road, while Union Berlin held the Wolves to a draw at home.   Bruno Labbadia very definitely would have grabbed someone’s hand off if they had offered him a point from their trip to Frankfurt last time out after losing their previous two games. That would have been even more true when Silas saved a point for his team 20

    Game Preview   As Schalke 04 travels to Augsburg on Saturday, they will be going into the game with the objective of extending their lossless streak of seven games in the Bundesliga. At the same time, the hosts have triumphed in each of their most recent four league matches at the WWK Arena.   Since their return from the World Cup in January, Augsburg has been the quintessential Jekyll and Hyde squad, winning all four of their home games while dropping all five of their away contests. To be honest, their most recent journey was never going to

    Game Preview   In the Bundesliga match between Borussia Monchengladbach and Werder Bremen on Friday night, both teams will be looking to avenge recent losses. Last time out, Gladbach was defeated 3-0 by RB Leipzig while Werder Bremen was defeated 3-2 by Bayer Leverkusen.   Daniel Farke’s Gladbach team continued to struggle on the road as Leipzig absolutely outclassed their opponents in the match at the Red Bull Arena on Saturday. To be fair to Die Fohlen, they managed to contain their rivals until Timo Werner broke the score two minutes before the hour mark. Emil Forsberg’s penalty

    Game Preview   A highly anticipated Bundesliga matchup between Leipzig and Borussia M’gladbach will take place at Red Bull Arena. The Red Bulls will give it their all to make up for their 2-1 loss to Borussia Dortmund if they want to maintain their Champions League spot. On the other hand, Die Fohlen have recently had their ups and downs, winning against Bayern Munich, losing to Mainz, and sharing the victory with Freiburg.   Recent matches between RB Leipzig and Borussia M’gladbach revealed the importance of home field advantage. This is best demonstrated by the fact that the

  Game Preview   Eintracht Frankfurt and Stuttgart, two teams with very different goals for the remainder of the season, will play each other on Saturday at Deutsche Bank Park. Following a 2-2 draw with Wolfsburg, Die Adler are eager to get back to winning ways in order to maintain their Conference League position.  On the other hand, Die Schwaben failed to surprise league champions Bayern Munich over the weekend, but their performance on Saturday was everything but subpar.   With their rematch against Napoli in the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League just around the corner, the team

  Game Preview   In recent weeks, Freiburg has gone four games without suffering a loss in the Bundesliga. This weekend, they will try to extend that streak. Hoffenheim, however, will be in need of an answer after five straight losses.   With 23 rounds of games completed, Freiburg is still in the running for a Champions League spot this season. They are now ranked fifth. They have won 12 of the 23 games they have played, demonstrating that they have been reasonably consistent over the entire season. They have only lost five times since then. In their last five

    Game Preview   On Saturday afternoon, Mainz 05 will strive to extend their winning streak in the Bundesliga to five games as they face Hertha Berlin at the Olympiastadion in Germany’s capital. Hertha Berlin, having lost 10 of their last 14 league matches, are at risk of dropping to the bottom of the table as they are only one point above the relegation zone. Despite winning two of their three games last month, they suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen last weekend, which has put them back in the relegation battle.   The bottom five teams

    Game Preview   This Sunday, Werder Bremen will be competing at home in the Bundesliga in search of their second victory in the last five games. The match will feature Bayer Leverkusen as the away team, and they will be looking to win their second game in a row in the German Bundesliga.   These two teams are competing for spots in the middle of the Bundesliga standings. Due to their current position eleven points above the relegation zone, Werder Bremen appears to be secure from the fear of relegation.   In order to achieve their goal of
