Stuttgart vs. St. Pauli: All the Info for Matchday 4

after the Champions League,it’s back to the Bundesliga!

all data,lineups,reporter assessments and BILD tips for Matchday 4 are here.

stuttgart – St. Pauli (Friday, 8:30 PM)

Change: How courageous is coach Sebastian Hoeneß (43)? After a poor start, he could make starting eleven changes, with Lorenz Assignon (25) for Joshua Vagnoman (24) being the most likely. Chema Andrés (20) could also replace the overworked captain Atakan Karazor (28) for a fresh impulse – but it’s questionable whether Hoeneß will put two favorite players on the bench at once.

Lineup: Nübel – Assignon, Jeltsch, Chabot, Mittelstädt – Karazor, Stiller – Bouanani, El Khannouss, Leweling – Demirovic

BILD reporter Leon Potuzhek: “Win or crisis? All of vfb’s previous opponents are behind VfB in the table. But although Stuttgart had a supposedly easy start, there was only one (very lucky) win against (very weak) Gladbach. VfB has been disappointing so far, the results and especially the performances are not right. Timid, uncreative possession and hardly any urge to score.After the deserved 1-3 defeat in Freiburg, coach Sebastian Hoeneß (43) recently seemed very annoyed and chose clear words: ‘That was a running performance that is not acceptable. You don’t have a chance to win bundesliga games like that. We got a clear message across and put our finger on the wound.’ Clear words from the coach. Hoeneß and his team must also be judged on this. Another passive performance is forbidden against Hamburg.The team must show that they…

bayern at Hoffenheim & Werder vs. Freiburg: team News & Predictions

Bayern Munich at Hoffenheim (Saturday, 3:30 PM)

Lineup: Neuer – Boey, Upamecano, Tah, Laimer – Kimmich, Goretzka – Olise, Gnabry, Díaz – Kane.

BILD Reporter David Verhoff: “Originally, the away game in Hoffenheim would have been a good possibility for Manuel Neuer to give a game to backup keeper Jonas Urbig. Though, it truly seems unlikely to happen as coach Vincent Kompany needs to rebuild his defense due to Josip Stanisic’s injury and because he relies on neuer’s experience. In the back four, Konrad Laimer will likely move to the left – as he did in the 3-1 win against Chelsea after Stanisic was substituted. Sacha Boey will be needed on the right, who has been a factor of uncertainty, but played well against Chelsea. Leon Goretzka could get the nod ahead of Aleksandar Pavlovic after two starting appearances. New signing Nicolas Jackson is probably not yet an option for the starting eleven. If one of the four offensive stars needs a break, super talent Lennart Karl could also start.”

Referee: Hartmann

BILD Tip: 1:3

Werder Bremen vs. Freiburg (saturday, 3:30 PM)

Question Mark: Sugawara (shoulder) and gladbach match-winner Mbangula (thigh) are questionable, while defender Stark (hip) is out. Boniface will likely remain a substitute.

Lineup: Backhaus – Sugawara, Coulibaly, Friedl, Agu – Stage, Lynen – Schmid, puertas, Mbangula – Grüll.

BILD Reporter Markus Balczuweit: “Werder is on an upward trend. The new signings Sugawara, Puertas and Mbangula are breathing new life into the team. In addition,Stage’s return after two months out has stabilized the structure. it remains unclear how stable the defense actually is.”

Rückkehr: Endlich ist Nebel wieder da! Der DFB-Star fehlte den Mainzern in den vergangenen zwei Spielen in Wolfsburg und gegen Leipzig rotgesperrt. Das hat man gemerkt. Nebel soll dabei helfen, dass die Mainzer das Tor wieder treffen (ein Saisontreffer).

Aufstellung: Zentner – da Costa, Hanche-Olsen, Kohr, – Caci, Sano, Amiri, Mwene – Nebel, Nordin – Weiper

BILD-Reporter Linus Uhrig: „Der Saisonstart in der Bundesliga ging für Mainz ordentlich in die hose.Nur ein Punkt nach 3 spielen entspricht nicht dem Anspruch der Rheinhessen.Gegen Augsburg fehlen die Offensiv-Stars Lee und Hollerbach (beide Oberschenkel) weiterhin verletzt. Das macht es nicht leichter.”

Schiedsrichter: Schlager

BILD-Tipp: 2:2

HSV – Heidenheim (Samstag,15.30 Uhr)

Rückkehrer: Nach dem schwachen Auftritt von Soumahoro in München (0:5) rückt Elfadli in die linke Innenverteidigung. Kapitän Poulsen (Oberschenkel) fällt weiterhin aus.

Aufstellung: Heuer-Fernandes – Omari, Vuskovic, Elfadli – Mikelbrencis, Remberg, Muheim – vieira – Philippe, Königsdörffer, Dompé

The injuries to Schlager and Nusa are especially significant, but can be compensated for by Banzuzi and Diomande in the currently broad squad.Leipzig will thus extend their mega-series even against the FC.” “Against promoted teams, Leipzig has never lost in 36 Bundesliga games.”

★★★

Bayer Leverkusen vs. Borussia Mönchengladbach: Preview, Lineups, and Insights

Leverkusen faces Gladbach this Sunday at 5:30 PM. Following a disappointing 2-2 draw in Copenhagen, Bayer Leverkusen coach Kasper Hjulmand seeks a strong reaction from his team. The change in management has instilled a strong mentality within the squad, but they need to replicate the intensity shown in their 3-1 victory against Frankfurt.

Lineups:

Bayer Leverkusen: Flekken – Quansah, Badé, Tapsoba – Vazquez, Tape, Garcia, Grimaldo – Tillman, Echeverri – Schick.

Borussia Mönchengladbach: Nicolas – Diks,Elvedi,Friedrich,Ullrich – Engelhardt,Reitz – Honorat,Neuhaus,Hack – Reyna.

Key Notes:

* Grimaldo will captain Leverkusen due to Andrich’s suspension (yellow-red card). Fernández is also suspended (yellow-red card). Tella (knee) may return to the squad.
* Gladbach is without a win in 10 games across seasons and has failed to score in 5 of those matches.
* Gladbach will be without Hack (meniscus tear), Kleindienst (cartilage damage), Mohya (ligament tear), and Ngoumou (Achilles tendon rupture).

BILD Reporter Insights:

Phillip Arens (Bayer Leverkusen): “After a weak first half in the 2-2 draw in Copenhagen, coach Kasper Hjulmand wants to see a reaction in his second game on the Bayer bench. What speaks for the Werkself after the change of coach is the strong morale. But the intensity must be as good as in the 3-1 against Frankfurt from the beginning, or else it will be tough against Gladbach.”
