The 1st FSV Mainz 05 made a deficit at RB Leipzig on Saturday afternoon and worsened the team of coach Marco Rose’s team. National player Jonathan Burkardt ensured the winning goal of the Rheinhessen in the 2-1, which distanced the Saxons in the Bundesliga table in the fight for the Champions League places.
Borussia Dortmund also kept the chances of a European Cup rank with a 2-0 at FC St. Pauli and VfL Wolfsburg. The Lower Saxony won 2-1 at the crisis -plagued SV Werder Bremen and may have multiplied the concerns of coach Ole Werner. In addition, TSG Hoffenheim increased the distance to the relegation ranks with a 1-0 at VfL Bochum after a mistake by goalkeeper Timo Horn. There, the 1st FC Heidenheim also hangs there after the 0: 3 against Borussia Mönchengladbach. With the 3-1 of FC Bayern at VfB Stuttgart on Friday evening there were now six away wins in six games.
Double strike to Blitz-Tor: Mainz 05 shocked RB Leipzig back
From the cup euphoria to Bundesliga-Tristesse: RB Leipzig suffered the next setback in day-to-day business after moving into the semi-finals. Despite the early lead, the Saxons lost 1: 2 (1-0) against the 1st FSV Mainz 05 and missed the preliminary leap to fourth place. There is now three points ahead of the red bulls Mainz, which can still be replaced by SC Freiburg on Sunday.
The flash goal of Xavi Simons (1. minute) in front of 41,406 fans actually paved the way to the seventh Bundesliga game in a row without defeat. However, after five of these games there was only a tie in statistics. And even now Nadiem Amiri (52nd) made the Mainz compensation, Jonathan Burkardt (58th) even followed up with his 14th season goal. The discussions about the Leipzig coach Marco Rose, who is in criticism, should not fall silent.
BVB with season-Novum: on St. Pauli 2nd Bundesliga victory one after the other
Borussia Dortmund mixes vigorously in the fight for the European Cup places. A week after the brilliant 6-0 against 1. FC Union Berlin, BVB came to a 2-0 (0-0) at FC St. Pauli. For the first time in this Bundesliga season, the Dortmunders achieved two victories in succession. At the same time, the team of coach Niko Kovac was the successful dress rehearsal for the round of 16 in the Champions League on Tuesday (9:00 p.m./Amazon Prime) against OSC Lille.
After a weak first half, the guests increased. Serhou Guirassy (51st) with his 14th Sizeonor and Karim Adeyemi (58th) met in the end. For the Hamburgers, the situation at the end of the table after the fourth defeat becomes questionable one after the other. In addition, the team of coach Alexander Blessin remained without her own goal for the fourth time.
Werder Bremen’s crisis and worse: 1: 2 against VfL Wolfsburg
The descent at Werder Bremen continues unabated. Against VfL Wolfsburg, the green-whites in the Weser Stadium lost 1: 2 (0: 1) and thus conceded the fifth competitive defeat in a row. In the Bundesliga, the North Germans won only one of nine games in 2025 and finally lost the connection to the top third of the table. Werder is the worst team in the new year.
Four days after the embarrassing quarter-finals in the DFB Cup at the third division club Arminia Bielefeld, the Bremeners were trying, but could not prevent the next setback. Before 41,152 fans, Patrick Wimmer (6th minute/48th) scored both goals for VfL Wolfsburg, who, after the bitter trophy in Leipzig, stays on the European Cup course at least in the league. The 1: 2 by Mitchell Weiser (90th) came too late for the hosts.
0: 3 against Gladbach: Heidenheim continues to stagger
Led by double scorer Robin Hack, Borussia Mönchengladbach has increased the concerns of the further leaning 1. FC Heidenheim in the relegation battle. Due to the 0: 3 (0: 2), the team of coach Frank Schmidt continues. Heidenheim has been waiting for a sense of achievement in the Bundesliga since mid -January. The Borussia, on the other hand, consolidated its place in the upper half of the table and can continue to dream of the first European Cup participation since the 2020/21 season.
Early Hack (8th minute) and Nathan Ngoumou (18th) ensured a comfortable lead in front of 15,000 fans. For a long time, Gladbach did not do more than necessary and from the FCH clearly got too little, especially in the first half. After the break, Leonardo Scienza missed the possible 1: 2 with a free kick to the aluminum (49th) before Hack decided the game with another goal (59.). The supposed 0: 4 of the offensive player was withdrawn due to an offside position.
Heavy damper for VfL Bochum: 0: 1 against TSG Hoffenheim
VfL Bochum has left important points in the fight for relegation against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. The team of coach Dieter Hecking lost 0: 1 (0-0) against the Kraichgauer. Before 24,210 fans in the Ruhr Stadium, Tom Bischof (72nd minute) met for the guests under coach Christian Ilzer, who survived three Bundesliga games in a row for the first time.
Due to the victory, the TSG takes an important step towards relegation and is currently the 13th of the table with 25 points now ten points from the direct relegation places. Bochum was able to leave this before the match day by the appeal judgment of the DFB Federal Court in the lighter throw and two additional points. With 17 points, the district club remains on the relegation place for the time being.
