At the end of the 22nd match day in the Fußball Bundesliga, Bremen and VfL Wolfsburg will meet on Sunday evening. Both teams were still in the DFB Cup during the week. The Bremen gave the Leverkusen a hot fight and left unhappy after extra time. Less spectacular was the game of Wolfsburg on Schalke. They too dropped out of the competition in the quarterfinals. It remains to be seen which of the two teams has better put away the cup evening and is fresher in the game. Impetus in the Weserstadion is at 17 o’clock.

After the surprise coup of Bremer in Gelsenkirchen last Saturday, it is now time for the North Germans in their own stadium nachzulegen. By the 2: 1 victory they could relegate the Mainz 05 relegation place. It certainly does not matter to them that the winner was very lucky in the third minute of stoppage time. Victory in the home stadium gives them the opportunity to pull past VfB Stuttgart and, on the other hand, put their opponents from Wolfsburg on their toes and shorten the gap to one point. The conditions are not so bad, as the home record of Bremer can now be seen. The last six home games were not lost across all competitions. In addition to the 3: 2 victory in the cup match against Freiburg, the games against Stuttgart (1: 0) and Hannover (4: 0) were won. Against Berlin (0: 0), Hoffenheim (1: 1) and Mainz (2: 2) in each case at least one important point in the fight against relegation could be secured. Although the team of Florian Kohfeldt is still in the lower part of the home table, but they are much more successful than under Alexander Nouri. On Tuesday evening, the Bremen were in the DFB Cup at Bayer Leverkusen lined up. After a lightning start they led after eight minutes with 2: 0. The Leverkusenern still managed to equalize until the final whistle and in extra time the Werkself had the better end for themselves. Nevertheless, a very courageous performance of the men from the north. The best scorer in his own ranks is Max Kruse, in very good shape with five goals and four assists.

The wolves can only draw. This was again on the last Saturday, when it was enough in the home game against VfB Stuttgart only to a 1: 1 draw. The leadership by Origi could not be made. That was meanwhile the twelfth draw of the men of Martin Schmidt. Of course, these stakes do not help in the long term to say goodbye to the bottom table regions. For this, the Lower Saxony sometimes need a threesome. After five winless Bundesliga games, that finally happened again two weeks ago. The game in Hannover was won by a goal by Yunus Malli 1-0. On Wednesday evening, the Wolves had to compete in the Ruhr Valley at Schalke 04 for the semi-finals in the Cup. Due to an early goal by Guido Burgstaller they lost in the end deservedly with 0: 1 and are thus eliminated from this competition. Now the whole concentration is the fight for the league. In the game with the direct opponent against relegation, it is important not to lose at least to maintain the lead of four points. Currently they are on a thirteenth place in the table. The Wolfsburg have with Daniel Didavi, Yunus Malli and Divock Origi three players who have already scored five goals. Therefore, they are offensively hard to calculate.
