In recent months, we have seen the return to the Bundesliga behind closed doors. This has bought about some of the best football matches to lift the hopes of the nation during this uncertain time. But why should you be watching the league? In this article, we will be looking at the return to sport at this time with some of the latest news.
This week in the Bundesliga
When looking at Bundesliga this past week, there has been plenty of action for fans to get excited about. With some amazing goals and some of the worlds best football players taking to the pitch, there is no better time to tune in to the sports. With the Bundesliga being streamed on several different platforms, this is the perfect time to enjoy the best of sport in Germany. With some of the best attack and defensive play out there right now, the opening season results could not be more promising for the remainder of the league.
The new normal behind closed doors
However, with the opening games being played behind closed doors, there certainly is a different atmosphere. With no crowd to cheer on goals and ticket sales no existent, this is the new norm for many clubs throughout the ongoing pandemic. However, it is important to note that whilst sport has returned, there is no clear sign for when audiences can return to their favourite sporting venues. This, therefore, means that losses are being experienced as a result due to some clubs relying on ticket sales as well as merchandise sales to keep the club afloat.
Though social distancing is in place at every stage, it is important to note that testing has been a key part in enabling the return to the league during this uncertain time. With tests being given to players at every stage this has allowed for games to be played between several Germany’s top teams. As this continues, the league are leading the way when it comes to a return in sport in the 21st century.
Bayern Munich favourites to win the League
With the ongoing matches at the beginning of the league, it looks as though it could be anyone’s season at this time. However, it is Bayern Munich that has many people placing their bets on this season. With the odds currently at 4/7 for the team to win the league, it is looking promising that they will take home the title at the end of this league. However, with a majority of the league remaining in some form of social isolation, there are many wondering if this league will be the same as in the past.
Though it is looking positive for Bayern Munich, it is important to note that there is very little in it at this time. With Dortmund, just 4 points behind at this time, the race for the title is well and truly heating up. This is perfect for the fans during this time as this makes for amazing games that are available to view from home. As the teams continue to battle it out, this is the perfect time for those that love the sport to tune in from their own homes and enjoy the very best that the German league can offer at this time.
Uncertain times for Philippe Coutinho and other transfers
As the league continues, many major sporting fans are looking forward to the new season. With transfer rumours rife at this time it is the future of Philippe Coutinho that is remaining uncertain. Since being left out of the squad in the last Bayern Munich squad, this has fans questioning the future of him within the league. At this time, Philippe Coutinho is recovering from an ankle injury, but with only a set few games left to play in the league, could this be the last we see of him in the league this year?
With this in mind, there are several reasons to get excited about the Bundesliga and the remainder of the season during this uncertain time. Who will you be rooting for in the remainder of the league?
