VfL Wolfsburg lost 3-2 at FC Augsburg on Saturday afternoon, suffering their fourth consecutive away defeat. FCA went in front through Phillip Tietz in the 17th minute, but the Wolves came back into the game and equalised in the 35th minute courtesy of Jonas Wind’s eighth goal of the season. And things got even better on the stroke of half-time, Lovro Majer converting a penalty to make it 2-1.

Potential success in Europe is likely to be what is keeping Ancelotti in a job at this moment in time.

BVB are looking to secure third place in the table and thus secure their spot in the European League again next season. They need just one point to do so. Head coach Henk Groener is expecting to encounter very motivated opposition: “It will be the last home game for Thuringia, and they will want to get revenge for Sunday’s defeat. I expect it will be a real cauldron in Bad Langensalza. We will need another very good performance to be able to take any points home with us.”

Before his coaching career, the 53-year-old enjoyed a successful period on the field. The central striker learnt his trade in the youth academy of Odense BK in southern Denmark. Thorup played at this club for six years, making his debut in the Danish top tier at the age of 19. Thorup marked his arrival into professional football by winning the Danish title in his debut season. Two more cup victories followed in the next few years (1991 and 1993). Thorup’s CV also includes a spell in Germany. He spent two seasons with KFC Uerdingen in the 2. Bundesliga, before he moved to Esbjerg fB in 1998 via a short time in Austria with FC Tirol Innsbruck. After a 16-year career, Thorup called time after a period with Norwegian club Ham-Kam.

DFB president Bernd Neuendorf had released the following statement in advance of the 73rd FIFA Congress in Kigali, Rwanda:

It’s going to be an extremely tough game for SC, especially because two players who started the Europa League fixture in Topola are now out injured. Roland Sallai had to be taken off after a muscle issue, while Maximilian Philipp damaged his shoulder. The pair will not only miss the trip to Leverkusen, but also potentially the coming games too.
