Game Preview
This weekend marks the return of the Bundesliga with a new set of games. On Saturday, Union Berlin will square off against a formidable Borussia Monchengladbach team at the Alte Forsterei.
Meanwhile, Gladbach under Gerardo Seoane seems to be finally finding their footing. Die Fohlen have prevailed in 5 of their previous 7 matches across all competitions after suffering a depressing 3-1 loss to FC Koln away in late October, propelling them into 10th in the standings. Gladbach trounced Wolfsburg midweek for their second time in less than a month, advancing them to the DFB-Pokal quarterfinals. Penalties looked certain after a goalless first ninety minutes, but Manu Kone had a different plan and scored in the last minute of extra time. Seoane will see an opportunity to establish himself as a hero in the club he joined by leading them to a trophy next summer, having not won an important trophy since 1995. The former Bayer Leverkusen manager will be focused on climbing to the top of the standings before the winter break in the interim. Given that Augsburg, in 9th place, was only one point above them going into this weekend’s play, they have a good opportunity of doing so by causing their rivals more suffering on Saturday.
After Union Berlin thrashed both Mainz 05 and SV Darmstadt 98 4-1 over their first two league games of the season, nobody could have predicted the team’s total collapse in the following few months. Their iconic manager Urs Fischer was fired last month due to a string of 12 straight losses in all competitions; Nenad Bjelica, a former Dinamo Zagreb manager, was chosen to succeed him. In his Champions League debut, the 52-year-old assisted Die Eisernen in a 1-1 draw away to Braga. If they can’t defeat Real Madrid the following week, they’ll be out of the Champions League completely. To climb off the bottom of the league and maybe out of the drop zone, they must prevail over Gladbach at the capital on Saturday.
