Werder Bremen
The club spent the previous season in the second division. More than often the things like this are to the benefit of such teams and become a kind of “a purgatory”. Just by the relegation, “the Musicians” had been teetering on the verge for a very long time. Coming back to the Bundesliga under the rule of Ole Werner, Werder Bremen demonstrated pretty good results, having taken 6 wins and 21 points in 15 games before the break. Moreover, experienced Füllkrug scored so much (10 goals, only Nkunku was better) that he went to the World Cup with the national team. And in Qatar, Niclas, by the way, also did not keep silent. After the break, the newcomer started its way in the match with Koln, which resulted in an epic failure: 4 goals had already been conceded by the 30th minute of the game and the whole battle ended with a terrible 1-7 score.
Union Berlin
The team, without taking into account the long-standing successes of the times of the German Democratic Republic, made its debut in the Bundesliga a couple of years ago. Nevertheless, everyone accustomed to its constant progress. At first, the newcomer, who had not been believed in, strengthened its position in the elite division, and according to the results of the second season, the team got the ticket to the European competitions there; moreover, the club finished the tournament in the 5th place last spring. In the new draw, “the Iron Ones” led the standings for a long time – they had only 1 defeat in 10 starting rounds. Still, by the end of autumn, Urs Fischer’s wards ran out of steam, taking only 4 points in 5 matches. It turned out to start the winter part of the season with a confident 3-1 victory. But to tell the truth, Hoffenheim led that match until the 73rd minute of the game, and it’s a great luck that Doekhi did his best – his double helped turn the tide of the battle and take an important, both tournament and psychological, victory.
