FC Bayern: Chemistry seems to be right
The chemistry at FC Bayern seems to be right. After the international break, the German record champions celebrated a 4-0 win at Arminia Bielefeld on Saturday. Jamal Musiala, Leon Goretzka, Robert Lewandowski and Leroy Sané scored the goals for the German record champions.
Defender Josip Stanisic praised his team's performance: "It was a very good game from us. We played very dominant, hardly gave up any chances and won deservedly by a big margin in the end." Coach Julian Nagelsmann was also satisfied: "The boys played well, we showed a good performance in every respect.
VfB Stuttgart on the upswing
VfB Stuttgart are also in good shape. With the 2-1 away win at Hertha BSC, the Swabians celebrated their third victory in the third game since the coaching change. The victory in Berlin was hard-fought, but deserved in the end. Coach Pellegrino Matarazzo was satisfied: "We played well, especially in the first half. After the break, we then had a little break, but I'm happy that we won in the end." With nine points, VfB are now ninth in the table.
Atalanta Bergamo: A force to be reckoned with
Atalanta Bergamo is an opponent not to be underestimated. Last season, the Italians reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League and also caused a stir in Serie A. This season, too, Atalanta are playing in the top group. In the Champions League, the Italians won 4-0 at Young Boys Bern on matchday 2. In Serie A, Atalanta are in sixth place with 16 points from eight games.
The game between VfB and Atalanta is therefore a real highlight. Both teams are in good shape and will want to win. The game will be played in the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Stuttgart and will start at 9:00 p.m.
