Following a 2-0 win against Union Berlin last weekend, SV Werder Bremen are seeking to build on this result as they travel to face VfL Wolfsburg on Sunday (5/11/2023, 15:30 CET). The Green-Whites are hoping to pick up their first points on the road this season and to putting an end to their run of poor results away from home. 

“My focus is on how I can help my team. After the game, I’ll have time to greet my friends at Bayern. They are good people and I have a great connection with them. But until then, there’s no room for emotions,” Alonso told Bild (as captured by @iMiaSanMia). “I have many great memories from my time in Munich. It was a great experience playing for Bayern for three years. Playing against them for the first time as a coach is nice — and hopefully I can smile after the game.”

“Mathis has had the opportunity to prove himself in training with the professionals in recent weeks and has been able to develop enormously. He should now continue to have the opportunity to train under the best possible conditions in order to confirm this progress in the future,” said Oliver Ruhnert, 1. FC Union Berlin’s Managing Director for Professional Football.

The German Football League (DFL) has confirmed the dates and kick-off times of Matchdays 14 to 18 in the Bundesliga. Four of the Wolves’ five games take place at 15:30 CET on a Saturday, with their final match of the year at champions Bayern Munich kicking off at 20:30 CET on Wednesday 20 December.

“We’ve talked about having a multi-club model,” Boehly told the Salt Conference, “I would love to continue to build out the footprint.

The experienced players set the tone in days like these and thus also set the course. “It’s the final week of the season. Our focus is fully on this game. For many players, it’s a new situation. We will talk a lot about it. We will do everything to make sure that we can end up having a big party,” said captain Marco Reus.

Following another successful home game last week, SV Werder now aim to finally pick up points on the road against VfL Wolfsburg on Sunday (15:30 CEST) and have been preparing for this test all week in training, as Ole Werner confirmed in the press conference ahead of the clash.

Thorup was able to call upon Felix Uduokhai at the back once again, after the centre-back returned from serving a red-card suspension. He also went with Ruben Vargas also on the left wing. 

Hoffenheim came to the WWK-Arena having won all of their previous away games this season so far. Head coach Pellegrino Matarazzo’s side started brightly and didn’t need long to record their first chance on goal through Finn Ole Becker. On the other end, Vargas just missed the target with a header following a cross from Fredrik Jensen (12′), before being called offside on a counterattack shortly after (13′). 

Jensen then nearly beat goalkeeper Oliver Baumann with a cross that sailed towards goal (21′), but it was the visitors who would go on to strike first. Wout Weghorst was able to get on the end of a cross from Marius Bülter and head in the opener from close range (23′). Just two minutes later, referee Dr. Felix Brych pointed to the spot after TSG defender Kevin Akpoguma was judged to have handled the ball inside the box. He then reversed his decision after VAR confirmed that the ball had actually come off the defender’s chest (26′). This would remain the last noteworthy moment from the first half, as FCA headed into the break trailing 1-0.
