The Bundesliga has resumed a game on Monday evening. Werder Bremen will face Bayer Leverkusen in-house.
Werder Bremen:
Werder Bremen is one of the major setbacks this season. The club, which usually has the ambition to compete for the European tickets, will have to pull out all the stops in the remaining games of the season to avoid relegation. Bremen is currently in a very disappointing seventeenth place, with only eighteen points achieved. Although the team from the Hanseatic city still has a game to catch up. Remarkably, coach Florian Kohfeldt is still at his post. The Bundesliga trainers have already been fired for fewer this season, but the club management apparently has a lot of confidence in Kohfeldt.
The overcrowded infirmary has been a significant negative factor for green whites all year round. Not everyone is available on Monday either. Five players are in the patchwork basket, although Kohfeldt did not complain about this at the preparatory press conference. “This is the best situation we’ve had this season,” said the coach, who often couldn’t use many more players earlier this year. “This match offers a great opportunity to narrow the distance to the teams above us in the rankings,” Kohfeldt said optimistically.
Bayer Leverkusen:
Bayer Leverkusen takes part again this season in the upper regions of the Bundesliga. The team of Peter Bosz, with nine rounds ahead, is a contender for a ticket for next year’s Champions League. Bayer is the current number five, and a ticket for the Europa League can hardly miss the club. In this season’s Europa League – when it resumes – Die Werkself is also a squad to be reckoned with. Leverkusen won 1-3 against Rangers FC just before the long break in the first leg of the eighth finals of the EL.
The interruption was very inconvenient for Leverkusen, because Bosz was working on a great series with his team. Nine of the last ten games were turned into a profit. Leverkusen has been in training for a relatively long time, although Bosz somewhat tempered expectations at the Saturday press conference surrounding his team. “We are not yet conditionally where we need to be,” said the Dutch trainer. “Every trainer has the question marks I have. Tomorrow we’ll see where we are. ”
