Women’s winter timetable: Friendly against Bremen

The Bayer 04 Women’s team began preparing for the restart of the FLYERALARM Women’s Bundesliga on Tuesday 12 January. The first outing in 2021 is set for Sunday 24 January: The team under head coach Achim Feifel have a friendly against league rivals Werder Bremen.

The match at the Kurtekotten Performance Centre kicks off at 14.00 CET behind closed doors. Werder Bremen are currently ninth in the FLYERALARM Women’s Bundesliga on nine points. The league meeting in the middle of October in Leverkusen ended in a 3-0 win for the Werkself Women.

The friendly rounds off an intensive week of training. The original plan was to hold a training camp on Gran Canaria but that was called off due to the coronavirus pandemic and the tightening of lockdown regulations. Instead, head coach Achim Feifel will prepare his players for the remaining ten league games with intensive and additional sessions at the Performance Centre and he will try and create a training camp atmosphere at Kurtekotten. Running drills and stamina training will be on the agenda in addition to the usual sessions. There are also two team activities planned to strengthen team spirit – as an online meeting to conform with the coronavirus regulations.

The winter timetable:
18-24 January: Intensive training in place of training camp
Sunday 24 January, 14.00 CET: Bayer 04 vs Werder Bremen, friendly
Sunday 7 February, 14.00 CET: TSG Hoffenheim vs Bayer 04, matchday 19 *
Sunday 14 February, 14.00 CET: MSV Duisburg vs Bayer 04, matchday 13

* As the last matchday in the FLYERALARM Women’s Bundesliga would have been in the FIFA registration period, the fixture list has been amended. That means matchday 19 comes before matchday 13.

Matchday news #VfBB04: Taking the next big step with the full weight of our fans behind us

Today sees Bayer 04 go head-to-head with their next direct rivals in the race for Champions League qualification (kick-off 15:30 CEST). Opponents Stuttgart are currently fifth in the table, level on points with the Werkself but one place below them due to a three-goal inferior goal difference. The Black and Reds' record at Bad Cannstatt tells a clearer story: they've not lost at VfB for over 16 years. One important factor in securing what would be three crucial points away from home is Leverkusen's strength on the counter-attack. Whilst Stuttgart are also extremely dangerous going forward, they will be without their captain. Today’s matchday news.
