Bundesliga Team of the Week- Round 27- No Bayern players in TOTW!

No Bayern players in the Bundesliga Team of the Round. We don’t see that happen often, but this weekend was one such occasion, with Niko Kovac’s side producing a lacklustre performance away at Freiburg. The SCF-FCB game ended in a 1:1 draw.

Freiburg did have one representative though, in the form of left back Christian Gunter.

The most dominant team in Game Week 27’s Team of the Round was Hoffenheim, who had three nominations thanks to their 4:1 win over Leverkusen. Ishak Belfodil, who netted a brace was one of them, along with Benjamin Hubner and Kevin Vogt.

Dusseldorf’s stunning 3:1 win over Monchengladbach saw Benito Raman and Mathias Zimmermann named in the TOTW.

Yussuf Poulsen’s hat trick for Leipzig in their 5:0 win over Hertha earned him a nomination alongside Tyler Adams.

Germany player ratings vs Serbia 2019 (1:1 draw friendly)

How did Germany and Joachim Low’s first international game after the axing of key Bayern trio Muller, Hummels and Boateng go? Die Mannschaft drew 1:1 with Serbia. The visitors took the lead through Luka Jovic, who plies his trade in the Bundesliga with Eintracht Frankfurt. FCB medio Leon Goretzka, a sub for Julian Brandt, equalised for the home side.

Most of Germany’s starting lineup, bar Sane and Gundogan didn’t do very well. Serbia’s starting XI certainly did better than their German counterparts, but Marco Reus and Goretzka both had positive impacts from the bench for the home side.

The worst player on the evening went to Milan Pavkov, the Serbian second half substitute who saw a straight red in second half stoppage time for a horror tackle on Sane.
