    46
    Most of the managers are happy when they have a player like Sebastian Jung (Eintracht Frankfurt). He can get the ball deep inside the box from a throw-in, and it can lead to very dangerous situations.

    Start of 2nd half.
     
    2nd half starts at 16:32.

    32
    The ball ends behind the line. A goal kick is following. We were very close to a change of the score by Junior Malanda (Wolfsburg).

    24
    Peter Gagelmann blows the whistle for a foul. Tranquillo Barnetta (Eintracht Frankfurt) hacks down one of his opponents. Wolfsburg earn a free kick which can lead to a goal-scoring opportunity.
     
    20,

    Eintracht Frankfurt is at the moment at comfortable 11. place in Bundesliga which means that if they want to go to European league it'll be almost impossible and it also doesn't look like they could fell down from Bundesliga into lower league. This comfortable spot could make them play very strong when they don't need to stress out. They could surprise.
     
    VfL Wolfsburg is a team which plays a little unpredictably in their last Bundesliga matches. They are on 5. position in Bundesliga at the moment which could take them into European league so they will definitely put everything into this match.
     
    Welcome. Game starts at 15:30.
