Much was expected from Wolfsburg under the leadership of Ralph Hasenhüttl, as the Austrian coach has long proven his ability to build competitive teams with limited resources. However, after eight rounds, the “Wolves” are currently only in 14th place in the Bundesliga.
Over the weekend, Wolfsburg had an excellent opportunity to improve their standing but unexpectedly dropped points in a match against Bundesliga newcomers St. Pauli (0-0). Prior to that, the Wolves lost 2-4 to Werder and defeated Bochum 3-1. However, just two wins in eight matches are far below what was expected of this team.
Like Wolfsburg, Borussia Dortmund has been largely disappointing early in the season. The 2023/24 Champions League finalists have accumulated only 13 points and are in seventh place in the Bundesliga, already seven points behind the leaders. Although it’s only October, talk of a championship title race has already faded in Dortmund.
On Saturday, Borussia Dortmund faced Augsburg away and suffered an unexpected 1-2 defeat, despite taking the lead in the third minute. Prior to that, they had a 2-1 win against St. Pauli in the Bundesliga and a surprising 1-2 loss to Union Berlin.
In the Champions League, Nuri Sahin’s team started strong with confident victories over Brugge (3-0) and Celtic (7-1). However, in the third round, they were leading 2-0 at Real Madrid’s stadium but ultimately suffered a 2-5 loss.
