Christmas is a time for family, but not all children can spend the holidays together with their parents and siblings at home. For that reason, after two years of coronavirus-related interruptions, the Wolves finally returned to a meaningful tradition this year by visiting the Wolfsburg Clinic for Paediatrics, Adolescent Medicine and Psychosomatics. VfL Wolfsburg have been supporting young patients through this initiative since 2007, connecting the club to the families. For Yannick Gerhardt, Paulo Otavio and Dzenan Pejcinovic, it was their first time participating in the project. On Thursday the trio joined VfL mascot Wölfi in distributing small gifts to children and parents to offer comfort and reassurance.

SV Werder will be without Amos Pieper for the away game in Mainz (Saturday, 08/04/23, 15.30 CEST). Last weekend’s goalscorer is suffering from ankle problems and won’t be in the squad at the weekend. “He has had problems there for a long time, there isn’t a specific solution,” said Ole Werner at his press conference ahead of the game.

Thomas Reis (head coach VfL Bochum 1848): 

Ten FCA first team players in total are away on international duty at the moment and were not available to Enrico Maaßen and his coaching staff. Apart from the national players, Elvis Rexhbecaj, Maximilian Bauer and Julian Baumgartlinger were also absent due to injury, and Niklas Dorsch returned to the pitch. The 25-year-old midfielder missed the last Bundesliga game against FC Schalke 04 (1-1) due to illness.

There was a shock for the Augsburg players after just 30 seconds, when Emmanuel Latte Lath was through one-on-one against Tomas Koubek, but he failed to beat the Czech goalkeeper. A little later, FCA had their first chance, when a cross from Aaron Zehnter surprisingly hit the St. Gallen crossbar. The first goal of the game, however, was scored by the visitors from Switzerland. Christian Witzig converted a cross from the right-hand side into the left corner to make it 1-0 (8’). In the 24th minute, FCSG extended their lead, after Randy Schneider was able to dribble on the edge of the penalty area and finish into the top right corner.

There was controversy shortly after when Noah Sarenren Bazee fell in the penalty area after contact with an opponent, but the referee’s whistle remained silent. FCA took control of the game in the following period, with the Swiss Super League side waiting for a counter attack. In the 32nd minute, Augsburg were lucky when Leon Dajaku faltered in front of goal after a good move. The Fuggerstädter then reduced the deficit to 2-1 in the 37th minute through Irvin Cardona. Maßen’s side kept the pressure on and had several chances to equalise through Kelvin Yeboah (39’/44’) and Nathanaël Mbuku (41’). Just before the break, Sarenren Bazee headed in a corner to equalise (45’).

(And no, Liverpool fans, you’re not included in this conversation.)

Their opponents from Gelsenkirchen are level on points with VfB Stuttgart (16th) in 17th place after their brilliant 5-2 win against direct rivals Hertha BSC. While SCF have often struggled against lower-placed sides in previous years, they are still unbeaten against teams from the bottom half of the table this season.

Just three day after the Bundesliga restart away at VfL Bochum, Hertha faced their next challenge in the Bundesliga in the shape of VfL Wolfsburg. Sandro Schwarz made two changes to the side that started against Bochum, with Suat Serdar coming in for Jean-Paul Boëtius in midfield and Dodi Lukébakio replacing Derry Scherhant on the wing.
