Bundesliga MatchDay 11 Preview: Boniface Hunts First Goal for Werder Bremen, Kane Eyes More Records
Victor Boniface will be under the spotlight this weekend as he continues his search for a first Bundesliga goal in Werder Bremen colours, with the Nigerian striker hoping to make his mark against RB Leipzig.
The Super Eagle, set to make his 51st Bundesliga appearance will also be looking to score his first goal in three appearances against RB Leipzig.
The clash carries added intrigue as Leipzig coach Ole Werner faces his former club for the first time since leaving Bremen, whom he guided back to the top flight in 2022 before moving to the Red Bull Arena this summer.
At the top of the table, Bayern Munich resume their title defence at home to Freiburg after seeing their perfect start halted by Union Berlin before the international break.
Harry Kane remains the man of the moment, fresh from scoring twice for England, and his duel with Freiburg goalkeeper Noah Atubolu promises to be one of the weekend’s standout battles.
Kane has already scored 13 goals in 10 Bundesliga matches this season, part of a remarkable tally of 29 across club and country.
Borussia Dortmund and VfB Stuttgart meet at Signal Iduna Park in a clash that could shape the race for Champions League qualification.
Both sides sit level on points, seven behind Bayern, with Stuttgart’s all-or-nothing approach producing seven wins and three defeats so far. Their recent matches have been goal-laden, and another high scoring encounter is expected against Dortmund, who have lost only once this season.
The weekend begins on Friday night with Mainz hosting Hoffenheim, who have surged into sixth place and could climb as high as second with victory.
The round concludes on Sunday at the Millerntor, where St. Pauli will attempt to halt a seven-game losing streak against Union Berlin in a meeting of two cult clubs.
