Bundesliga News - 2022/2023 Matchday 3

Alassane Plea’s goal on a penalty kick in the 34th minute was enough for Borussia Mönchengladbach to win at home on Friday against visitors Hertha Berlin. Plea has now scored 4 goals in 8 meetings with Hertha, and has converted his last 4 Bundesliga penalty kicks. Friday’s match was the first time this season when Gladbach took a lead, and Hertha have now lost 8 of their last 10 Bundesliga matches with Gladbach. Although the win on Friday gives Gladbach a slender 1-point lead in the table, several clubs are likely to overtake or tie them by the end of the weekend. On Saturday, Dortmund will host Bremen in what may be one of the most-watched contests on this matchday. Both clubs are among the league’s giants and founder members, and both teams are off to unbeaten starts this season. The teams have met 106 times since the league’s founding, and together hold 9 Bundesliga titles. Although Dortmund’s 56 Bundesliga seasons are just behind Bremen’s 58 campaigns, Dortmund have collected 46 wins against Bremen, while Bremen have collected 41 wins against Dortmund. Those 46 wins include Dortmund’s victory when the teams last met in April 2021. Later on Saturday, Leipzig will look for its first win of the season when they travel to Berlin to take on Union. It was Leipzig who embarrassed Union 4:0 on the latter’s introduction to the top flight back in August 2019, but the hosts have since managed to qualify for Europe in each of the past 2 seasons. Union are currently enjoying their best-ever start to a Bundesliga season, are unbeaten in a club-record 9 top-flight matches, and have won their last 3 league meetings with Leipzig, each time by a score of 2:1. Leipzig have now welcomed back striker Timo Werner, who has 96 goals in 160 games for the club, and who the club needs following draws in the first 2 matchdays and a DFB Pokal loss to Bayern. One other match to watch on Saturday will be the derby between hosts Stuttgart and nearby Freiburg: while Freiburg are unbeaten in their last 6 Bundesliga meetings with Stuttgart, the hosts may benefit from the reunion of Sasa Kalajdzic and Borna Sosa. Looking ahead to Sunday, Köln will look to preserve their spot in the league’s top third when they travel to Frankfurt. The hosts are still looking for their first win of the season, although new signing and 2014 World Cup hero Mario Götze featured in a 4:0 win over Magdeburg in the DFB Pokal. Köln were eliminated from the Pokal in penalties against Regensburg, but are 1 of 6 unbeaten Bundesliga teams heading into Matchday 3.
