How does the German Championship 2022/2023 work?

 

The Bundesliga has 18 participants. They face each other in turn and return throughout the season. At the end of the 34 rounds, whoever has the most points wins the title. Six spots are allocated to international tournaments through the German Championship. The top four teams go to the Champions League, straight to the group stage. The fifth-placed team earns the right to participate in the Europa League, also directly in the group stage. The sixth goes to the European Conference League, but has to participate in the qualifiers. The relegation zone is made up of the last three classified. The two worst are sent directly to the Second Division. The third-to-last still has a chance to escape sticking. To do so, they play the repechage with the third-placed team in Bundesliga 2 at the end of the season.

 

TSG Hoffenheim

The first of them was against Freiburg, which is also fighting for the top positions in the league table of the 2022/2023 version of the German Championship. At PreZero Arena, the match did not end 0 to 0. A result that turned out to be acceptable under the circumstances.

 

Despite playing at home, Hoffenheim saw the visitors show slight superiority in the confrontation. Freiburg had the ball 48% of the time, developed more chances to shoot (14 to 10) and led the rate of shots on target (4 to 3). On Sunday, October 2, equality, this time 1-1, was against Hertha Berlin, in a game held in the capital.

 

Score compatible with the balance of the confrontation. Hoffenheim scored in the 25th minute of the first half through Kramaric, who was assisted by Kabak. However, the defense was leaked by Lukebakio 12 minutes later. With points (four victories, two draws and two defeats), he went on to occupy the fifth position in the Bundesliga leaderboard. Three points below Union Berlin and Freiburg, who share the lead. A win this Friday could put him with the leaders, albeit temporarily. Both will not enter the field until Sunday, October 9. They will face, respectively, Stuttgart (out) and Hertha (out). As home team, Hoffenheim disputed 12 points and won ten (three draws and one defeat). Scored eight goals and conceded three.

Werder Bremen

Werder Bremen was the result for the most surprising result of the eighth round of the German Championship. With the possibility of playing at home, they scored a 5-1 rout against Borussia Monchengladbach. He didn't even have to work hard throughout the game to secure victory. Defined the game in the first half.

 

The score was opened by Fullkrug at five minutes. Three minutes later, Ducksch scored the second goal for the hosts, and Fullkrug scored again in the 13th minute. Borussia Monchengladbach collaborated to their own disgrace. In the 37th minute, Bensabaini scored against, which allowed Werder Bremen to only manage the wide advantage in the second half.

 

The visitors even tried to threaten a reaction with Thuram's 18th-minute goal. However, Weiser's 28th-minute goal ended any possibility in that sense. Thus, Werder Bremen advanced to 12 points, moving up to eighth place in the Bundesliga table, when considering the tie-breaking criteria. Two points below Eintracht Frankfurt, sixth place and last team in the region that distributes places for international competitions. As a visitor, Bremen is undefeated in the German Championship.
