Bundesliga
Relegation, coaching coups and mediocre risk-theses for the new season
FC Bayern and BVB suffer from the consequences of the club World Cup, the paint is off at Leverkusen, and it gets nasty for the HSV. The starTheses for the Bundesliga season 2025/26.
Finally football again! The Bundesliga is going into its 63rd edition this season. With the Hamburger SV and 1. FC Köln, two traditional clubs have returned to the German Oberhaus. Fans can therefore look forward to the northern derby between HSV and Werder Bremen, as well as the city derby between HSV and St. Pauli. The Cologne team also compete again in the Rhein derby against Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Followers of other clubs can also look forward to the new season. Clubs such as Eintracht Frankfurt, SC Freiburg and Mainz 05 want to continue their elevation from the last season and assert themselves both in the Bundesliga and in the champions and Europe League.
Bundesliga top clubs plagued by personnel shortage
Fans of Bundesliga clubs like Werder Bremen, on the other hand, look at the coming season with concern. A weak preparation, the DFB Cup in the first round and a thin squad prepare the supporters of the green and white abdominal pain. Are now relegation to European offers?
FC Bayern and BVB do not have to worry about the latter, but the Bundesliga heavyweights are still heavily born by the club World Cup, some players fail to start the Bundesliga. In addition, the Munich and Dortmund have committed only a few players in this transfer summer. “It is probably one of the smallest squads I’ve ever played in,” said Bavaria’s star striker Harry Kane after the Supercup victory against Stuttgart. The shortage of staff could cost both teams points this season.
New season, new rules
At the coming season there are some innovations to which players, coaches, referees and fans have to prepare, such as the semi -automated offside technology (here an overview of all changes). The DFL also recommends that the Bundesliga clubs introduce stricter rules for ball children. These should no longer throw the balls to the players, but put them off on Hütchen on the edge of the field. This makes football clinical this season than before.
