The Bundesliga schedule is self-explanatory due to the symmetry of the first and second half of the season. The situation is different in the Premier League, where two teams often meet again on the pitch within a very short space of time. The fans in particular are wondering what’s behind it.
What we know: If 1. FC Köln plays Bayern on the first day of the Bundesliga, then Bayern will play against Köln on the 18th day, that’s clear, right? If, on the other hand, Arsenal and Manchester City meet at the beginning of the Premier League, it can happen that the two clubs face each other again in a league game just a few days later. Because: The symmetrical game plan that we are familiar with does not exist in England, but there is an all the bigger question mark among fans.
Confused fans: The mixed Premier League season and the resulting amazement of German fans became clear on Twitter. One user quips, “Is the schedule based on the Queen’s birthday?”
As the mood takes you: On bundesliga.de it says about the format in the Premier League: “The scheduling of all 38 matchdays is only possible through a system without symmetry in which the first and second leg encounters between two Premier League clubs are also both can be in the same half of the season.”
