Augsburg vs Wolfsburg: Match Preview

Augsburg were brilliant in 2014–15 season as they surprised everyone by finishing fifth in the league and booked their first ever ticket to the Europa League. They even reached to the round of 16 of the Europa League before bowing out to Liverpool. However they struggled to cope with the busy schedule of fixtures in the domestic league and finished 12th in the 2015/16 standing. With no burden of European football this term, Dirk Schuster and his men will be looking to emulate the feat of 2014/15 season.<br /><br />Wolfsburg by their standards were fairly disappointing and finished 8th in the last season’s Bundesliga table. They did lack consistency and much of their woes were due to their poor record in away games. They managed just three wins from their 17 away games in the league last season by losing 10. They had a strong run in the UEFA Champions League as they reached the quarter final stage where they grabbed a shock 2-0 home win over Real Madrid.<br />Augsburg vs Wolfsburg: Head-to-Head<br /><br />Augsburg enjoyed considerable success over Wolfsburg both home and away as they won and drawn 4 each from the 10 games over the last five seasons. While Wolfsburg are left with two wins during the period.<br /><br /> <br /> <br /> <center> <script async="" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <!-- smel 2 --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-8045107268257721" data-ad-slot="8360218290" style="display: inline-block; height: 280px; width: 336px;"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> </center>

Hamburg vs Ingolstadt: Match Preview

Separated by just one point last season, Hamburger SV and FC Ingolstadt 04 get their 2016/17 campaigns up and running with an intriguing clash at the Volksparkstadion on Saturday (kick-off 15:30CEST/13:30GMT).<br /><br /><br />While Ingolstadt may have been more than happy with their 11th-place finish last season, Hamburg – who edged them into tenth by a single point – will be keen to do even better this term. That is reflected in their summer transfer activity with the highly-rated Alen Halilovic joining from FC Barcelona, Filip Kostic arriving from VfB Stuttgart and USMNT international Bobby Wood coming from 1. FC Union Berlin.<br /> <br />Ingolstadt's major summer change has been on the bench, where the departed Ralph Hasenhüttl has been replaced by Markus Kauczinski. Their second season since promotion – regarded by many as the most difficult – sees them put to the test right from day one. But the Bavarians are confident they can repeat the 40-point haul that secured safety with time to spare last term.<br /><br />Match stats<br /><br />    Halilovic became the second-youngest player to appear in the UEFA Champions League aged just 16 in 2012.<br />    Kauczinski was named Coach of the Year 2015 by the German Football Association for his work with Karlsruher SC's youth team.<br />    Although only formed in 2004, Ingolstadt are no longer the youngest Bundesliga club afterRB Leipzig became the 55th side to play in the German top flight.<br /> <br /> <center> <script async="" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <!-- smel 2 --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-8045107268257721" data-ad-slot="8360218290" style="display: inline-block; height: 280px; width: 336px;"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> </center>

Borussia Dortmund vs. Cologne: Team News, Preview

<div class="PreviewText"> <h2 class="PreviewText"> German Bundesliga</h2> <br /> <h3> Borussia Dortmund </h3> <br /> This was the most successful Bundesliga season for Borussia Dortmund in their history, and yet they still ended up behind Bayern Munich. <br /> <br /> They are the best attacking side in the league with fantastic 80 goals scored in 34 matches, and with 77 points collected they would have been crowned as Bundesliga champions in over forty of the last fifty Bundesliga seasons. However, Bayern Munich are still a few classes above any other German team, and they will hardly get dethroned in the upcoming seasons.<br /> <br /> Borussia Dortmund unexpectedly lost with 1-0 against relegation-threatened team of Eintracht Frankfurt last weekend, although they dominated in that match.<br /> <br /> When it comes to playing in Dortmund, Borussia Dortmund are invincible this season. They are the best home side in the Bundesliga, winning 14 and drawing just twice in their 16 home matches this season. They will be extra motivated to win against Cologne and finish this season as the only unbeaten home team in the league.<br /> <br /> Interestingly, Borussia Dortmund are without a victory against Cologne in three straight matches. Last season Cologne won at home and drew in Dortmund, and this season their first match in December ended in 2-1 home victory for Cologne.<br /> <br /> <h3> Cologne </h3> <br /> Cologne also had a fairly successful season, finishing in the golden middle of the table. They were especially dangerous at away grounds where they collected lots of points.<br /> <br /> Cologne are currently unbeaten in five straight away games, recording three draws and two victories. They are finishing this season as the seventh best away team in the Bundesliga.<br /> <br /> Cologne are on a positive series of four consecutive unbeaten matches. They won against Mainz and SV Darmstadt 98, and their last two games against Augsburg and Werder Bremen both ended in goalless draws.</div> <div class="PreviewText"> <br /></div> <div class="PreviewText"> <br /></div> <div class="PreviewText"> <br /></div> <center> <script async="" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <!-- smel 2 --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-8045107268257721" data-ad-slot="8360218290" style="display: inline-block; height: 280px; width: 336px;"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> </center>

Bundesliga Matchday 34 FC Bayern München - Hannover 96

    Bayern have enjoyed at least a four-point cushion since beating 1. FSV Mainz 05 3-0 on Matchday 7. <br />     Against teams ranked outside the top six, the Bavarians have picked up 73 of a possible 75 points. The 0-0 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt on Matchday 11 was their only blemish. <br />     This will be Hannover's 948th Bundesliga match, and last for at least a season. The 96ers have bounced back after a single season away in two of the previous four times they have been relegated.<br />     Guardiola has won 81 of his 101 top-flight fixtures in Germany, giving him the highest winning percentage in Bundesliga history. <br />     Hannover have lost in each of their last nine visits to Bayern. In 26 games in Munich, Hannover have lost 23 times.<br />     Ron-Robert Zieler is in line to make his 185th Bundesliga appearance for Hannover. The want-away goalkeeper has played 90 minutes for each of the last 175 games.<br />     Robert Lewandowski has scored 29 goals this season. One more would see him overtake FC Schalke 04's Dutch striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar as the top-scoring foreigner in a single Bundesliga season.<br />     Bayern have sold out their 75,000 Allianz Arena for each of their 17 home games this season - a club record.<br />     Guardiola has been a champion in six of his seven seasons as a coach (three times each with FC Bayern and FC Barcelona).

Hertha Berlin v SV Darmstadt 98 Preview

<div class="PreviewText"> <h2 class="PreviewText"> German Bundesliga</h2> <h2 class="PreviewText"> 2016-05-07 - Hertha Berlin v SV Darmstadt 98</h2> <br /> <h3> Hertha Berlin </h3> <br /> Hertha Berlin are guaranteed a spot in the Europa League, but they are just one point short from the Champions League places. After SV Darmstadt 98, their last game of the season is against Mainz, so with two wins and some other favorable results they can still finish fourth.<br /> <br /> However, Hertha Berlin`s form has been constantly on decline in the past several weeks. Last weekend they suffered their third straight defeat, losing 2-1 against Bayer Leverkusen. They are currently winless in five straight Bundesliga matches. <br /> <br /> Hertha Berlin were known for their good defense this season, but worrying thing is that they conceded at least two goals in each of their last five winless games.<br /> <br /> Hertha Berlin nailed SV Darmstadt 98 with 0-4 in their first match this season. <br /> <br /> <h3> SV Darmstadt 98</h3> <br /> SV Darmstadt 98 found themselves in a really big trouble, after losing their last match with 1-2 against Eintracht Frankfurt. They had a very good season and were never near relegation places, but their latest two defeats sank them down to just two points above direct relegation spot.<br /> <br /> SV Darmstadt 98`s last two games of the season are incredibly tough. After Hertha Berlin their last match of the season is against Borussia Monchengladbach. They simply must collect at least four points in order to hope avoiding relegation.<br /> <br /> Last weekend SV Darmstadt 98 had a goal lead against Eintracht Frankfurt, and yet they lost the game with 1-2. They even missed a penalty in that game. A stunning fact is that last week`s match was SV Darmstadt 98`s twelfth game this season in which they lost the game after taking a goal lead.<br /> <br /> <br /></div> <center> <script async="" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <!-- smel 2 --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-8045107268257721" data-ad-slot="8360218290" style="display: inline-block; height: 280px; width: 336px;"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> </center>

Ingolstadt vs. Bayern Munich: Team News

Bayern Munich have a perfect opportunity to rebound from their midweek UEFA Champions League exit this weekend as they take on fellow Bavarians, Ingolstadt, in the Bundesliga.<br /> <br /> Pep Guardiola's men managed to overcome Atletico Madrid in the second leg of their semi-finals tie on Tuesday, but the 2-1 result saw them knocked out due to the away-goals rule.<br /> <br /> Yet Bayern have a chance to put it all behind them with a win on Saturday that would see them clinch a record fourth consecutive Bundesliga title.<br /> <br /> "We did absolutely everything," Guardiola said after the match, according to the club's official website. "We’ve had a fantastic Champions League campaign."<br /> <br /> "We have to lick our wounds tonight and then go on against Ingolstadt on Saturday," added chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.<br /> <br /> The perfect way to react would be to win the Bundesliga, but Ingolstadt have other plans. The Schanzer are safe from relegation and all but mathematically assured of a final position insufficient to put them into the UEFA Europa League, but nonetheless they have it all to play for.<br /> <br /> Saturday's match is, after all, a derby match against Germany's biggest team, with the city centers separated by some 80 kilometers. And as such, a special atmosphere can be expected at the Audi Sportpark.<br /> <br /> <br /> <center> <script async="" src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <!-- smel 2 --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-8045107268257721" data-ad-slot="8360218290" style="display: inline-block; height: 280px; width: 336px;"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> </center>

Bayern München vs Borussia M'gladbach Match preview

<br /><br />Match ball! FC Bayern can wrap up a historic fourth championship title in a row with a victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach on Saturday (Live in English from 15.30 CET on Twitter and FCB.tv Web Radio). Depending on Dortmund's result against Wolfsburg even a draw or a defeat might prove sufficient. “It's the last step. It's up to us,” Pep Guardiola said on the eve of the contest. “I hope our fans will have reason to celebrate tomorrow.”<br /><br />Even if FCB’s triumph is confirmed, the players have not prepared any special celebration. “We absolutely want to win, but we’ve made no arrangements for a championship party,” Manuel Neuer stated. And for good reason: the Champions League semi-final return takes place only three days after the Bundesliga match. “We can always throw a big party later,” added Philipp Lahm.<br /><br />The match against Gladbach could yield the Bundesliga title for the German record champions, but the semi-final against Atlético naturally has an influence on Saturday’s encounter. Guardiola thus spoke of a “dangerous match,” demanding full focus against the side lying fifth in the table. Bayern only lost once in the first half of the league season, a 3-1 reverse against the Foals. “They're really strong, the most awkward opponents in the league besides Borussia Dortmund. All their players have great quality.”<br />Guardiola 'full of energy'<br /><br />In his 100th Bundesliga match the FCB head coach is counting on the support of the Bayern faithful to help secure the championship title, “our most important goal this season. Our focus is 100 percent on Borussia Mönchengladbach tomorrow,” Guardiola stressed, announcing his intention to rotate: “Of course the starting line-up will be different from the XI in Madrid.” However, not out of consideration for the return against Atlético, but because the Bavarians aim to win against Gladbach, the Catalan emphasised.<br /><br />It is possible that Jérôme Boateng will return on Saturday after a three-month injury lay-off. “He's one of the best three centre-backs in the world. I hope he'll be able to play a few minutes tomorrow,” said Guardiola, who is upbeat ahead of the most important matches of the season: “I'm, wow, full of energy for the week!” Let's go: Pack ma's!<br /> <center> <script async="" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <!-- smel 2 --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-8045107268257721" data-ad-slot="8360218290" style="display: inline-block; height: 280px; width: 336px;"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> </center>

Borussia Dortmund vs. Wolfsburg: Team News, Preview

Borussia Dortmund host Wolfsburg on Matchday 32 of the 2015/16 Bundesliga season on Saturday.<br /><br />Since the hosts have long clinched a second-place finish and the Wolves only have an outside chance at playing in Europe next season—they're six points behind seventh place, currently held by Schalke, which will be enough to qualify for the UEFA Europa League qualifiers this season, because Bayern Munich and Dortmund play each other in the DFB-Pokal final—the intrigue of this meeting has to come from somewhere other than the league table.<br /><br />Sure enough, it was a busy week for the Black and Yellows, who announced on their website on Thursday that team captain Mats Hummels has officially requested a transfer to Bayern. Saturday's match will offer fans a first opportunity to let their feelings be known.<br /><br />As for Wolfsburg, a thoroughly disappointing season is coming to a close. Despite reaching the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League and playing Real Madrid tough, the Wolves can't be happy with their campaign. As Bundesliga runners-up last year and winners of the cup—beating Dortmund in the final—expectations for this campaign were high but never met.<br /><br />Head coach Dieter Hecking could be fighting for his job in the last few matches and tried to rally the troops in his press conference on Thursday<br /> <br /> <br /> <center> <script async="" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <!-- smel 2 --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-8045107268257721" data-ad-slot="8360218290" style="display: inline-block; height: 280px; width: 336px;"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> </center>
