Wolfsburg started the season rather poorly. In the first round Oliver Glasner’s team snatched a goalless draw from Bayer with great difficulty and then suffered a fiasco in the qualification of the Europa League, yielding place in the group to the Greek AEK. The wolves got their first victory in the Bundesliga in the fifth round, beating not without problems Arminia with a score of 2:1 at home. Wolfsburg is now in sixth place in the table with 14 points in the asset, being just three points behind the Champions League zone. But how realistic it is for the club to compete for a place in the top four remains a big question. In the last round Wolfsburg did not experience any problems with Schalke, beating the Pitmen 2:0 away. This victory was the second in a row for the “wolves” and extended the streak without defeat to eight matches, but only three of them ended in victories. Marin Pongracic, who has been tested positive for coronavirus, will miss the match. Jeffrey Bruma and Daniel Gincek are also out of the game due to injuries, but none of these players is key for Wolfsburg.
Stanislav Genchev’s team again has no equal in the Bulgarian championship. Eagles are currently in the lead in the standings, being two points ahead of Lokomotiv from Plovdiv and with a match in hand. The team from Razgrad did not play at the weekend. On November 11, a coronavirus outbreak was detected in Ludogorets. Immediately 12 representatives of the club caught the disease. So before the game against Tottenham the question arises, what will be the composition, who is ready to play, who is not. In the Europa League the Bulgarian team has continuous problems. The Eagles practically lost their chances to qualify from the group, as they lost all three starting matches. Now, in order to count on something, Ludogorets need to win not only Tottenham, but also in the other two matches. A very difficult mission for Stanislav Genchev and his team.
