The world looked a little different in the first leg. At that time, the Adler won 3-0 thanks to goals from Jesper Lindstrøm, Rafael Borré and Buta and moved up to second place in the table. On the other hand, Schalke stayed at the bottom of the table with six points behind the saving bank.

FC coach Steffen Baumgart expects “a highly emotional game. There is a great atmosphere in Bremen. I expect a full stadium and a positive atmosphere. We want to be successful, play our game and win in Bremen,” said the 51-year-old. The people of Cologne will remember the first leg particularly fondly. In January, the Domstadters swept their opponents 7-1 out of their own stadium and provided one of the big highlights of the season.

Frankfurt15:05
With a 3-0 win over the more distant neighbors from Mainz, Frankfurt set a surprising exclamation mark last week. With the team barely credited with points in the league, Daichi Kamada, Buta and Randal Kolo Muani shot out the win. Oliver Glasner rewarded that by sending the same starting XI into the race that was convincing against Mainz.

Bochum15:03
Let’s look at the staff: VfL Bochum has to do without the injured Osterhage. The injured Stafylidis is replaced by Stöger. Rogel, Mittelstädt, Serdar and Boateng start for Hertha BSC for Uremovic, Kempf, Plattenhardt and Niederlechner. Striker Ngankam is suspended for the capitals.

Union Berlin15:00
The Köpenickers, who won the first leg at the end of January in the An der Alten Försterei stadium 3-1 after a deficit thanks to the goals of Doekhis (73rd, 89th) and Lewelings (90th + 6) and who lost all their seven seasons in the stranger conceded, coach Urs Fischer was also forced to make two changes after the 4-2 home win against SC Freiburg. Jaeckel and Thorsby take the places of Knoche (ill) and Schäfer (setback after foot injury).

Before the last home game of the season, Ole Werner spoke of a good feeling. “The self-confidence is there that we can achieve our common goal here at home in our last home game with the support,” explained the Werder coach. It is now a matter of taking the last step. “That’s often the hardest,” added Werner. The 35-year-old can also fall back on Niclas Füllkrug. The top scorer is back in the squad after recovering from calf problems and will also be in the starting XI.

Last week Thomas Reis was a bit cautious, wanted to avoid yellow card suspensions for today’s game and rest injured players. Marius Bülter got it anyway and is now suspended. In addition, Jere Uronen is out with muscular problems. Marcin Kamiński, Danny Latza and Michael Frey are on the bench for the time being. Moritz Jenz, Henning Matriciani, Rodrigo Zalazar, Simon Terrodde and Tim Skarke start.

Bochum14:56
In Berlin, the Bochumers can now hope for special support from their own supporters. “There’s a certain amount of tension, that’s for sure. The first decisions of the season can be made at the weekend for the first time. The last matchday gave us a great starting position, and we want to take advantage of this opportunity now. We’re really looking forward to it – when I hear it how many fans are on their way to support us in Berlin,” said Bochum coach Letsch before the game.

VfL Bochum also wants to throw everything in in the last two games in order to stay up in the league. The guests are currently in 15th place in the table with 31 points – one point ahead of the relegation place. In the Bundesliga, Bochum recently won 3-2 against FC Augsburg.
:
Union Berlin14:55
On the side of the Kraichgau, who celebrated six of their nine wins of the season in front of their home crowd and who can only bag the league today if they help out, coach Pellegrino Matarazzo has made two personnel changes compared to the 1-2 away defeat at VfL Wolfsburg. Geiger and Becker edge Rudy and Dabbur onto the bench.

Bochum14:48
“Even if the chance is small, we want to seize it. Nobody has given up here and giving up is not an option. !We know where we are, that it’s not in our hands anymore and that we can lose a lot. Because of this, we need to sharpen up and be awake, turning the negativity into positivity. We’ll try to tease that out, give everything and be dangerous,” said Hertha coach Dárdai before the game.

The Berliners are currently in last place in the table with 25 points. The distance to the relegation place is currently five points. Last weekend, the capital city lost with a poor performance with 2:5 against 1. FC Köln.
:
Frankfurt14:48
Eintracht has been able to do without the drama of the relegation battle for several years. Instead, despite the catastrophic second half of the season and the definite departure of Oliver Glasner, the focus is still on European business. Although the club has been in a deep earnings crisis for months, sixth place is still within reach, especially since the competitor from Wolfsburg lost yesterday. Now there are only three points between Frankfurt and sixth place. So everything is still possible.
:
Union Berlin14:47
1. FC Union Berlin not only has another year in the national football league, but also a renewed participation in European business. The Irons are even in pole position in the race for fourth place in the Champions League after beating their direct competitor SC Freiburg 4-2 last Saturday. The people of Breisgau drew level with their success yesterday; because of the clearly better goal difference, a Union win today would still be a preliminary decision.
:
Cologne14:46
In contrast, the Cologne travel with a broad chest. The Rhinelanders have only lost one of their last seven league games (four wins, two draws) and recently celebrated two successes in a row for the first time in the 2022/23 season. Nevertheless, there is hardly anything left for the Domstädter in tabular form. With 41 points, Stefan Baumgart’s team is in the quiet midfield. The FC is primarily pursuing the goal of polishing up the yield on the Weser. Cologne has only won one of their last 16 Bundesliga games in Bremen.

Frankfurt14:39
Lost 6-0 in Munich. It’s a slap in the face, but it’s quickly dismissed by Schalke in this situation. No one seriously believed the miners could score points in the Allianz Arena, especially since the rival from Dortmund was not supposed to receive support. Today’s home game against Frankfurt is much more important. If things go well, Gelsenkirchen jumps to 14th place. A defeat, on the other hand, could lead to S04 being relegated at most.
:
Union Berlin14:38
TSG 1899 Hoffenheim missed the chance to say goodbye to the bottom of the table. While the Kraichgauers had three wins in a row as a result of a stuttering start under Pellegrino Matarazzo, they only drew four points from the last five matches. The 2-1 away defeat at VfL Wolfsburg halved their lead over the relegation place to two points; the direct route to the second division is only three points away with 180 minutes to play before the end of the season.
:
Cologne14:38
Although according to human judgment nothing should burn, Bremen has not yet finally secured the league. With two games to go, the green-whites are five points ahead of the relegation rank. Should Werder win against Cologne, they will stay up. The problem: Ole Werner’s team is weak at home and has only collected 16 points from 16 Bundesliga home games, no other club has a worse record.
:
Bochum14:35
In a groundbreaking game in the relegation battle, it’s all about survival in the 1st Bundesliga for both teams today. If Hertha BSC doesn’t win today, the Berliners will surely be relegated to the 2nd Bundesliga. VfL Bochum, on the other hand, can take a big step towards staying up in the league and increasing the lead over the relegation places with a win.

Union Berlin14:32
