There has been plenty of positive news from the U23 camp over the course of recent days: in their last home game against 1860 Munich, Jan Zimmermann’s team equalled the best-ever start of a Black & Yellow U23 team set in the 2021/22 promotion season, while Julian Hettwer took his scorer point total to 12 in Ulm (it was seven in the entirety of last season) and Marcel Lotka will return between the BVB sticks this weekend after serving his suspension.

The former Liverpool FC star has struggled on the field and run into some controversy off of it, but still continues to get support from head coach Thomas Tuchel.

The first competitive opponent of the season has been confirmed: TSG Hoffenheim will travel to Würzburger Kickers in the DFB-Pokal first round. The match will be played between 16 and 19 August. It will be precisely scheduled in the course of the coming weeks.

1. FC Union Berlin and András Schäfer have agreed to the decision, which is therefore legally binding.

BVB have failed to win in their last two matches in the Bundesliga and the UEFA Champions League, but coach Edin Terzic praised his team’s performance in both games. In the defeat against Leipzig, the Black and Yellows put up a good fight despite playing with ten men for much of the game and almost found an equaliser. In the draw against PSG, BVB secured top spot in Group F ahead of the French champions. “It is our clear mission that we will take a lot of good things not only from the match against Leipzig, but also from the match against Paris, and that we now want to incorporate them into the next two important games in the Bundesliga. We have shown what we are capable of,” said Terzic. “We want to top that performance level once again. If we succeed, we are very confident that we will pick up points in the coming games.”

The draw for the first round of the 2024/25 DFB-Pokal took place on German TV programme Sportschau on Saturday, 1st June 2024. The first competitive game of the new season will see SV Werder visit Energie Cottbus, who were promoted to the 3. Liga at the end of the previous campaign. The match will take place between 16th and 19th August, with the exact date and time yet to be announced.

The Regionalliga Nordost’s third-placed side just missed out on promotion to the third tier this season, but they lifted the Berliner Landespokal for the tenth time in their history to secure a starting berth in the first round of the DFB-Pokal. The tie will be played between 16th and 19th August, with the exact kick-off time and date to be confirmed in the coming weeks.

Thomas Tuchel’s reign at Bayern Munich is still young, yet the fans have begun to get accustomed to a familiar pattern. Bayern enters a match as the clear favorites, dominates possession, has absolutely no cutting edge and no idea how to break down low blocks, chucks in a bunch of crosses to players under 5’10”, before conceding to the odd counterattack. It has already caused the team to drop games against Freiburg, Hoffenheim, Mainz, while Bayern followed the same script only to squeak out victories against Freiburg (again), Hertha Berlin last week and today against Werder Bremen.

Saturday’s DFB Cup draw handed VfB an away game against SC Preußen Münster in the first round.
