Bundesliga 22/23: all important information

RB Leipzig – Borussia Dortmund

On Saturday at 15:30 RB Leipzig will face Borussia Dortmund. Kick-off is in the Red Bull Arena in Leipzig, Sven Jablonski will lead the game. The focus should be on Marco Rose, who is a new coach at Leipzig and thus meets his old club.

As last season, the hosts want to reach the Champions League, but under coach Tedesco it did not go as desired. After 5 games you only have 5 points on the account, which is enough for 11th place. With 9 goals conceded, the defense is too vulnerable, with 6 own goals the offense is too harmless. This was particularly evident in the last games in Frankfurt (0:4) and in the Champions League at Shakhtar Donetsk (1:4). After the game, they reacted and replaced Tedesco with Marco Rose, who was still on the sidelines at BVB last season. As a result, the status of the team is difficult to assess and no player has a starting XI safe, which also makes the form somewhat irrelevant. In a direct comparison, they recently won 2 times in a row against the Black and Yellow, but historically it is 4:7 after victories. Olmo, Klostermann and Poulsen are missing.

With new-old coach Edin Terzic, the entry into the Champions League should be made clear again. After 5 games you are in 2nd place, only Freiburg is better thanks to the goal difference. 12 points were collected, 8 goals were scored, 4 goals were conceded. Especially the defense has been very stable recently (3 times in a row to 0 in competitive games), while the offense sometimes still leaves too many chances. After the unfortunate and immediately spectacular defeat against Bremen, there were two 1-0 victories at Hertha and against TSG, during the week they defeated Copenhagen 3-0 in the Champions League. The team seems to be in top shape. As last season, there are big injuries, after all, Adeyemi and Malen will probably return, still missing: Bynoe-Gittens, Dahoud, Haller, Hazard, Kobel and Morey.

Despite the change of coach, RB has the better chances with odds of 2.37, compared to BVB with a win rate of 2.75, according to bookmakers. This makes it tempting to bet on a victory for the guests. It is much riskier to bet on a victory of the Borussia without conceding a goal with a rate of 5.75, but BVB is defensively strong and RB is currently in bad shape. It remains to be seen whether Rose has already been able to change much.

FC Schalke 04 – VfL Bochum

On Saturday evening at 18:30 there will be a small Revierderby between FC Schalke 04 and VfL Bochum. Felix Zwayer will whistle the heated duel in the Veltins-Arena.

After the re-promotion, the only goal was to maintain their class for Schalke. By fighting you could get 3 points in the first 5 games, which puts you in 15th place. Especially the defense is not yet saddle-solid with 12 goals conceded. After the clear defeat against Union, followed a 1-1 draw last week in Stuttgart. Nevertheless, one could not win so far. In a historical comparison, the Gelsenkirchen team is ahead with 37:17 victories. After all, the Schalkern are not missing a player injured.

For VfL, it’s all about maintaining the class. After a surprisingly strong first season, things are no longer going so well in Bochum. After five games, 0 points with a goal difference of 3:15 are booked. Offensively and defensively, there are too many problems. In the last three games they did not score a single goal and conceded 10 (7 against Bayern). So there is almost nothing to be said for a victory for the Bochum team. To make matters worse, 4 players are also injured: Goralski, Grave, Heintz and Stafylidis.

Due to the catastrophic form, a victory for bochum would be a surprise (3.50). Thus, a victory of Schalke is attractive (2.05 odds), who wants to minimize the risk, can bet on a double chance with a victory of Schalke or a draw, for this there is a 1.30 odds, because: schalke does not yet have a season win.
