Both DAZN and Amazon Prime are broadcasting Bayer 04's Bundesliga match in the Breisgau (kick-off: 20.30 CET). The latter company announced final details this morning: The live stream begins 15 minutes before kick-off and is available via the website and the Prime Video app. All Prime members in Germany and Austria can watch the game without additional costs as part of their Prime membership. Fans without a subscription have the option of a 30-day free trial of the service.

Niko and Cedric will again be covering the match on Werkself Radio. Their live commentary of the game is available free of charge at bayer04.de or on the Bayer 04 app.

Marco Fritz in charge of #SCFB04

As from the beginning of the restart, the German Football Association announced the match officials on the morning of the game: FIFA referee Marco Fritz from Korb is in charge of the opening fixture on Bundesliga matchday 29. He will be supported by his assistants Dominik Schaal from Tübingen and Timo Gerach from Landau. The fourth official is Arno Blos from Deizisau and Dr Felix Brych from Munich is the VAR match official.

Völler on players' conduct

Rudi Völler, sporting managing director at Bayer 04, this week spoke out about the extravagant lifestyle of certain football players. "I'm not one to moralise. But players are role models. Here a gold steak, there a couple of players who have a hairdresser flown in to the hotel on the day before the match – that's not on," said the 60-year old in Focus. "I'm surprised players aren't smarter today. At the end of the day, only hairdressers and steak flippers benefit from the cheap advertising."

Great interest in women's Bundesliga

The restart of the FLYERALARM Women's Bundesliga is proving to be very popular at home and abroad. The first matches after the break due to the coronavirus pandemic will be broadcast on television in 16 countries, including Guatemala, Panama and Mexico. The opening game after two months without play involves the double winners VfL Wolfsburg against FC Köln this afternoon (kick-off: 14.00 CET). The Bayer 04 women's team return to action tomorrow, also at 14.00 CET, with a home game against MSV Duisburg. This encounter will also be streamed on DFB TV. All games are played behind closed doors.

Bayer 04 put in a brilliant performance to beat RB Leipzig 4-1 on Bundesliga matchday 32 and are now fourth in a Champions League spot. The Black and Reds took control of the game right from the start and, with 75 per cent possession at one stage, took a 2-0 lead into the break through Patrik Schick (25’) and Nathan Tella (45+1’). The visitors initially tried to do more after the break, but the Werkself remained determined and Schick scored his second goal to increase the lead to 3-0 (76'). The Red Bulls pulled a goal back through Christoph Baumgartner (80'), but the disciplined Leverkusen side were not rattled - and certainly not Schick: The Czechia international crowned a brilliant display with his third goal shortly before the final whistle to make the final score 4-1.

Matchday news #B04RBL: All in red for the next top match win

In the previous game against RB Leipzig in December last year, the Werkself turned came from behind to win 3-1 and further improved Leverkusen's already strong record against the Red Bulls. Montrell Culbreath stood out with his first goal on his debut for the Black and Reds. While the 18-year-old would certainly like to score a second goal against Leipzig on Saturday night, the attack-minded visitors come to the BayArena in confident mood after five Bundesliga victories in a row. The Nordkurve12 supporters group knows the Werkself will therefore once again be reliant on the vociferous support of the fans, and has once again called for the ‘Finally Red’ campaign in the run-in.
