Supercup 2024: Bayer Leverkusen meets VfB Stuttgart in the BayArena
An important struggle for the Supercup
In the middle of the upcoming DFB Cup rounds, two of the most successful teams in the Bundesliga are facing each other: Bayer Leverkusen and VfB Stuttgart. On August 17, 2024 at 8:30 p.m., a first -class game will be held in the BayArena as part of the Supercup. It is interesting that the decision where the game is to take place has delivered some discussion material in recent years. Originally, the cup winner or the runner -up should have been hosts, but this regulation was changed by the DFL.
The background of the supercup
The Supercup has been held since 2010/11 and is becoming increasingly popular. FC Bayern won the first edition against Schalke 04 with 2-0. So far, numerous clubs have taken part in the competition, with Bayern Munich winning the most titles. This year the event takes place without the record champion, which is an extremely unusual scenario. The last Supercup, in which Bayern were not involved, took place a long time ago.
Current formations and squad changes
Bayer Leverkusen goes into the new season with the almost identical team that coach Xabi Alonso has designed. Only Josip Stanisic left the defensive. Nevertheless, strong newcomers such as Aleix Garcia and Martin Terrier will cause a stir. In contrast, VfB Stuttgart experiences significant restructuring in the squad. Key players such as captain Waldemar Anton and striker Serhou Guirassy have left the club, while the new obligations such as Himedin Demirovic still have to prove that they can replace the lost players.
media reporting on the duel
The meeting of the two traditional clubs is broadcast live on the free TV at Sat.1 and via the Pay TV provider Sky. In addition, the fans can follow what is happening via Sportschau.de in the ticker and audio stream. This broad media offer ensures that a large audience is reached and interest in this important event is growing beyond the borders of Germany.
anticipation on the DFB Cup parts
After the Supercup, both Bayer Leverkusen and VfB Stuttgart do not have to be patient to become active in the DFB Cup. Leverkusen will play against Carl-Zeiss Jena on August 28, 2024, while Stuttgart has to compete against Prussia Münster on August 27, 2024. These quick encounters offer the teams another way to test their shape and prepare themselves for the Bundesliga season.
