Bundesliga News - 2020/2021 Matchday 18

The current Bundesliga season’s Rückrunde began on Friday with a thrilling 4:2 victory for hosts Borussia Mönchengladbach over visitors Borussia Dortmund. The match’s first 4 goals were split between a brace each for Gladbach’s Nico Elvedi and Dortmund’s Erling Haaland. Elvedi’s goals came in the 11th and 32nd minutes, while Haaland’s goals in the 23rd and 29th minutes kept the match even going into the break. The rest of the match, however, belonged to the hosts. Gladbach’s Ramy Bensebaini curled the ball into the far corner of the net less than 5 minutes into the second half, and teammate Marcus Thuram - in his first appearance after a 5-game suspension - headed in the contest’s final goal in the 79th minute. The win leaves Dortmund now replaced by Gladbach in the table’s 4th position, and Dortmund have now played 3 matches without a win. Gladbach’s victory ends an 11-game losing streak against Dortmund, and the club is now just 1 point behind Leverkusen and 4 points behind Leipzig going into the rest of the weekend’s matches. Those matches will include several contests between clubs separated by few points in the standings, including those between Leverkusen and Wolfsburg, Freiburg and Stuttgart, and Hertha and Bremen. Leverkusen moved briefly into 2nd place earlier in the week with a win over Dortmund, ending a 4-game winless streak, while Wolfsburg’s win over Mainz was their 3rd consecutive match with 2 goals scored. Wolfsburg’s Wout Weghorst is on his way to his best Bundesliga campaign, and just needs 5 more goals to match his total of 17 in the 2018/19 season. Stuttgart will welcome the return of Nico Gonzalez and Silas Wamangituka from suspensions when they travel to nearby Freiburg, as the pair has combined for 15 goals and 5 assists this season. Their opponents, however, have been in unusually good form in recent weeks, and only an own-goal earlier in the week against Frankfurt prevented what would have been a 3rd win in 4 matches. Hertha have been experiencing a lack of goals recently, thanks to blank sheets from Jhon Cordoba, Matheus Cunha, and Sebastian Piatek. Bremen are coming off a narrow, and late, loss at Gladbach, and are battling a goal drought of their own. Bundesliga fans will have 2 big questions to ponder until Sunday: just how lopsided a victory will Bayern enjoy when they travel to Gelsenkirchen, and can veteran striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar turn things around for Schalke?
