Cologne

Closer to the break, Cologne became the supplier of points for all the teams in the table without exception, did not win even once in the last five rounds and dropped to 13th place. This is due not least to the fact that the team of Steffen Baumgart has difficulties with the composition and temporarily lost a lot of base players. In the winter break, the situation has not changed dramatically and for the first game of the new year, the goats are forced to go out again with a personnel shortage.

Werder Bremen

Werder Bremen showed very decent football at times in the autumn. They were always active in front and are currently in ninth position at the moment. Wards of Ole Werner slowed down somewhat closer to winter, but there they also had serious opponents, namely Bayern (1:6) and Leipzig (1:2). During the pause, the musicians got four wins and one draw in friendly matches and are ready to resume the championship practically in the combat lineup.
