Following an abundant amount of midweek matchups, several U.S. Men’s National Team regulars transition back to league play after successful domestic league cup results.
Christian Pulisic and Borussia Dortmund seek to remain third on the Bundesliga table as they face FC Cologne, who sit eighth on the table. Pulisic made a 10-minute cameo during Dortmund’s midweek DFB-Pokal semifinal victory over rivals Bayern Munich. Fellow finalists Timmy Chandler and Eintracht Frankfurt will travel to take on Hoffenheim, while Bobby Wood and Hamburg take on FC Augsburg.
Across the Atlantic Ocean, in Mexico, Omar Gonzalez and Pachuca look to feed off winning the CONCACAF Champions League in a match against Cruz Azul, while Joe Corona, Michael Orozco and Club Tijuana play to remain first on the Liga MX table as they collide with Jose Torres and Tigres UANL.
Promotion takes centerstage in the English League Championship, with DeAndre Yedlin and Newcastle booking their spot in the Premier League on Wednesday. Tim Ream’s Fulham currently holds the last promotion playoff spot heading into a match against Brentford, while David Wagner and Huddersfield Town sit third ahead of a clash with Birmingham City. At the bottom, Eric Lichaj and Nottingham Forest continue to fight off relegation in Saturday’s match against Queens Park Rangers.
Elsewhere, Matt Miazga and Vitesse play their most important game this year as they take on AZ Alkmaar in the KNVB Cup Final, while Emerson Hyndman and Rangers play their second Old Firm in six days against Celtic.
