So far it was still unclear when the final four match days of the current Bundesliga season should be played. The DFL has now scheduled the remaining matchdays at exactly the right time. SPOX brings you up to date.
Rarely have so many questions seemed unanswered at the end of a Bundesliga season as this year: Who will win the championship? Who’s in international business next year? Who goes to the second division and who to the relegation games? The answers to all these questions, it was already clear, would await us in the next few weeks. But when exactly, that was not known until now.
The announcement published by the DFL on Thursday has now brought light into the darkness. In the following text we will discuss when the final and decisive four match days will take place and what highlights the viewers can look forward to.
Bundesliga: The schedule for the rest of the season is set
Good news to start with: The international break on the weekend of March 26th and 27th was the last break of the current season. In concrete terms, this means that the last four match days of the season will be played on four consecutive weekends.
A special feature concerns the penultimate matchday. Unlike in previous years, in the 33rd round, all eight games will no longer be played at the same time, but will be spread over a full weekend plus Friday, as in the case of a normal game day. It is assumed that this change will continue in the future.
