  • Unter Wölfen Kompakt
    UNTERSaison 2020/2021 | Ausgabe 19 WÖLFEN 31. Spieltag | 24. April 2021 | 15.30 Uhr KOMPAKT ZU GAST: BORUSSIA DORTMUND LIEBE FANS, herzlich willkommen zum 31. Spieltag und dem drittletzten Heimauftritt unserer Wölfe in dieser Saison. Die Vorzeichen des heutigen Duells zwischen dem aktuellen Tabellendritten und dem Fünften, dem BVB aus Dortmund, versprechen Hochspannung: Sowohl Grün-Weiß als auch Schwarz-Gelb können mit Erfolgserlebnissen im Rücken ins Duell um die Champions- League- Qualifikation gehen. Während Wolfsburg nach zuvor zwei knappen und torreichen Niederlagen in Frankfurt und gegen die Bayern am Mittwoch beim VfB Stuttgart mit 3:1 zurück in die Spur gefunden und sich damit bereits das Ticket für einen europäischen Wettbewerb gesichert hat, feierte der BVB beim 2:0 gegen Union Berlin seinen dritten Sieg in Folge. Mit aktuell fünf Zählern Vorsprung vor der Borussia befindet sich der VfL in der Pole-Position, die Dortmunder sind eigentlich zum Siegen verdammt, um vier Spieltage vor Schluss wieder richtig in den Showdown um die Königsklasse eingreifen zu können. Während die historische Bundes- liga-Bilanz zwar eindeutig für Schwarz-Gelb spricht, hat Grün-Weiß in dieser Saison allerdings bewiesen, gerade zuhause gegen jeden Gegner bestehen zu können. Das 2:3 gegen die Bayern war nicht nur unglücklich und am Ende unnötig, es war zugleich erst die allererste Saisonniederlage im heimischen Rund. Und überhaupt: 57 Punkte nach 30 Partien bedeuten die drittbeste Bilanz aller Zeiten für den VfL. Nur in der Meistersaison 2008/2009 (60) und in der Vize-Meister-Saison 2014/2015 (61) waren die Wölfe besser. Positiv ist auch, dass mit den beiden Außenverteidigern Kevin Mbabu und Paulo Otavio zwei zuletzt gesperrte Defensivkräfte zurückkehren, auch Captain Josuha Guilavogui dürfte zu Ende diese letzten englischen Woche der Saison nach verletzungsbedingtem Ausfall wieder eine Option sein.
