Sky Germany reports that two: 1. FC Union Berlin players who were rumored to be leaving the club will stay in Köpenick.
Following a summer filled with persistent transfer speculation, it appears that German left-back Robin Gosens will stay with 1. FC Union Berlin despite previous rumors of his departure. His decision to stay is a significant boost for the team, as he is a key player in the defensive line. His teammate, Danilo Doekhi, who was also rumored to be on the move, will remain with the club. Recently, VfL Wolfsburg had shown interest in signing the Dutch defender as a replacement for the departed Moritz Jenz.
Both players were included in new FCU coach Bo Svensson’s starting lineup last weekend against Mainz, each playing for 90 minutes. Despite increased competition for his position, Gosens has consistently been on the field under Svensson’s management. Unless something unexpected occurs, Gosens and Doekhi are expected to feature in Svensson’s lineup for tonight’s match against St. Pauli.
Bochum and Borussia Mönchengladbach will be eager to recover from their opening-day losses when they face off at the Ruhrstadion on Saturday. This match is crucial for both teams as they look to bounce back from their initial setbacks and secure their first win of the season.
Bochum is aiming to avoid another battle against relegation after narrowly escaping last season’s relegation playoff. Despite a 3-0 defeat to Fortuna Düsseldorf in the first leg, Bochum mounted a remarkable comeback by winning the second leg 3-0 and successfully navigating the ensuing penalty shootout.
Die Unabsteigbaren appointed Peter Zeidler as their new manager after their playoff victory. However, Zeidler’s start has been disappointing, with his side facing consecutive defeats. Bochum endured an unexpected 1-0 loss to Jahn Regensburg in the DFB-Pokal first round and subsequently suffered a close defeat in their league opener against Leipzig.
Antonio Nusa’s decisive 59th-minute goal secured a narrow defeat for Bochum at the Red Bull Arena, leaving die Unabsteigbaren with only one win in their last 12 away league matches. As they prepare for their first home game of the season at the Ruhrstadion, Bochum will be determined to end their winless run against Gladbach, whom they last defeated with a 2-1 victory at home in November 2022.
The hosts will require the services of Moritz-Broni Kwarteng, Ivan Ordets, and Bernardo for the match.
Despite a lackluster 14th-place finish last season, Borussia Mönchengladbach has opted to retain Gerardo Seoane as their manager. This decision reflects the club’s belief in Seoane’s potential to turn things around. Over the past three seasons, Gladbach has consistently struggled, finishing in the bottom half of the table each time. The team is determined to make substantial improvements as they embark on the 2024-25 campaign. With Seoane at the helm, the club is focused on climbing the standings and achieving a more competitive and successful season.
Die Fohlen started the new season with a decisive 3-1 win over Erzgebirge Aue in the Pokal before shifting their attention to a challenging league opener against Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen. Despite rallying from a two-goal deficit with goals from Nico Elvedi and Tim Kleindienst to level the score, their efforts fell short when Florian Wirtz scored a dramatic 101st-minute winner, resulting in a 3-2 defeat for Die Fohlen.
Borussia Mönchengladbach, encouraged by their recent strong performances against Bochum—including a commanding 5-2 home victory in February—are eager to build on these past successes. The team is determined to overcome their current winless streak and is focused on securing a much-needed victory in their upcoming match. By leveraging their previous triumphs and the positive momentum from earlier encounters, Gladbach aims to turn their fortunes around and achieve a decisive win.
Goalkeeper Jan Olschowsky and midfielder Yvandro Borges Sanches are unavailable due to knee injuries.
