The opening weekend of the 2022/23 Bundesliga season saw 1. FSV Mainz 05 pick up an away win on Matchday 1: this is the first time the Zerofivers have ever began a season in the top flight with a victory on the road, having never achieved this in their 16 previous Bundesliga campaigns. Therefore, yesterday’s 2-1 win in front of 24,000 away at VfL Bochum could be a sign that Bo Svensson’s side are working hard to shake off what was one of their weak points of the previous season and to improve on their record of having the second-worst away record in the league in 2021/22. “We’ve still got a lot of work to do, but picking up three points gives you a good boost and we know what we need to improve on. It’s a very good position for the coach to be in,” commented Martin Schmidt after full time. “The work doesn’t stop here, but three points on the road certainly gives you a real push going into the new season.”

The German Football League (DFL) scheduled Matchdays 31 to 34 on Wednesday.

The opening of the re-sale market is planned for Monday, 29.08.2022.

Two days after the signing of young striker Dzenan Pejcinovic, VfL Wolfsburg can announce another transfer. Midfielder Mattias Svanberg joins from Italian club Bologna on a five-year contract until 2027. The 23-year-old Swede, who will wear the number 32 shirt for Niko Kovac’s side, made 118 appearances in Serie A, in which he registered nine goals and eight assists. The Malmo native has also featured 21 times for the Swedish national team, scoring one goal.

Stadion Niederrhein will be the third venue at which the U23s have played a home game this season, after SIGNAL IDUNA PARK and Stadion am Zoo in Wuppertal. Until their return to the Rote Erde Stadion, which is still undergoing renovation, the Black & Yellows will have to play elsewhere – with Oberhausen the next destination. Ingo Preuß, the team’s sporting director, sees no reason to complain: “I’m glad that we have found a decent venue. The situation is not ideal for anyone, but we can’t change it. Now we’ll play there and see what comes of it.”
