Dortmund is three games before the break, with two points behind record Champions Bayern Munich on rank two of the table – is decided of the most battle? By no means! The League final promises to be voltage.
“The title is played, it is clear to me,” said the to the mounting ring at the end of BVB coach Lucien Favre after the 2:4-Derby defeat against Schalke 04 . From Favre languages disappointment and displeasure with referee Felix Zwayer and his decisions in the hand with a penalty for Schalke, had put the 1:1, and the two Red cards for his players Marco Reus and Marius Wolf in a duel against arch-rivals from Gelsenkirchen.
Bayern is steep template unused
No voice this Saturday-afternoon, something of Confidence from the Swiss coach. But should not have expected Favre, at this Moment, the should happen on the following Sunday in Nuremberg, something that would let the hopes of a first title since the 2012 build. Because the Dortmund steep template in the title race record champion Bayern Munich in the duel on the descent, candidate 1 could. FC Nürnberg will not translate into a comfortable lead. On the contrary, The Bavarians didn’t have to go to the 1:1 in Nuremberg, Germany, as the loser from the place, because Tim Leibold awarded in stoppage time a penalty kick and the Chance to the Nuremberg goal. And so Favre sounds in front of the 32. Round suddenly optimistic: “All have not thought, it’s over, only I. Now everything is possible again.” The teaching of this memorable 31. Game tags is: The title fight is yet to be decided. But what comes in the final sprint now?
1. Bayern not out of saddle, Dortmund without pressure
The fact is that Borussia Dortmund would like to become a master. In contrast to the record master, with the title duty task. And not only is the game in Nuremberg, has shown: The FC Bayern is not usual in the season, so out of saddle sprint, as the last few years. To move in such a Situation, a relegation candidate on the verge of defeat, would not have happened to the series champion in the last few years.
Also, when Out in the Champions League against Liverpool: FC Bayern in the spring of 2019 is far from the absolute top level. Against Liverpool have no chance in most races with unusual weaknesses: The lack of sovereignty in the performances of his team to be chalked out by nature, also the Trainer.
2. Kovac controversial, icon image, James
This is Niko Kovac and it says at the end of his first year in Munich is by no means uncontested. Although the Chance is with the table and the feeder to the Cup final more on a domestic Double, but in contrast to previous years, it does not seem to be in Munich as safe as it pretends to be self-understanding actually.
The last departure for James? Bayern-Profi is replaced in Nuremberg 15 minutes after coming off the bench again
Chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge (“FC Bayern no one has a guarantee of a job”), before the decisive season of doubt, of Kovac through play – and in fact, you have to attest to the Trainer, some of the construction sites: International lack of Opportunity and lack of development steps for the Team. With the exception of season surprise, Serge Gnabry, most of the Bayern remained player this season below their potential, or at least have not taken any significant development.
Best visible on the example of James Rodriguez. The Colombians showed early in the season differences with Kovac’s guess and will leave the giants after the season. Whether as a Double-winner or not – the example of James is clear: Kovac has recalled the potential of his star ensemble in the area of the duty – but not more. The point is, in the last three Games with a nerve, it seems not to be excluded. And also in the DFB Cup final opponent, the man trusts that he can make the record Cup winners ‘ Cup title this season, deny waiting with RB Leipzig.
3. Leipzig for Bavaria-Horror
And exactly, this Team could be in the championship fight to tip the scales. Leipzig is one of the form of the strongest Teams in the League and is the FC Bayern not only in the Cup in the way, but also in the League. As the Team of Ralf Rangnick to the Champions League is course, has no reason to turn against the FC Bayern down a notch.
On the contrary, Leipzig does not want to affect the title fight, but also self-intervention. “We can get nine points and we want to get nine points. It is at the Moment relatively unlikely, but not impossible,” said Rangnick, who is on top of that, as an intimate enemy of Uli Hoeness and thus a large interest in the prevention of both title for the FC Bayern is not likely to have the least self-aware. Bayern have everything in own Hand, but with Leipzig twice a bear-strong Team in front of you, you might have to be a nightmare.
4. Usually Factor Idol?
FC Bayern world champion Mario Götze experienced a time of suffering, after his return to Dortmund this continued even there. But that is history. In the back round, Gotze is one of the pillars in the Dortmund offensive game and reminded again of the young Talent that enchanted, once the whole country.
With Marco Reus (Red card against Schalke) leader is missing from the BVB in two of the last three games, the captain and Offensive. Götze could fill this role and so to Dortmund leader in the final sprint. Its shape makes it seem possible, and his Motivation to show it as a decisive figure in winning the title in both the critics in Dortmund, as well as the Ex-club, could hardly be greater. Mario Götze can create after his goal in the world Cup final 2014 the Big one. For this, he needs to win with the BVB in the remaining three games is mandatory.
5. The Rest Of The Program
These three victories has to retract the BVB against Werder Bremen (A), Düsseldorf (H) and Gladbach (A). Last weak Bremer, unpleasant düsseldorf in front of a home crowd and a Gladbach Borussia, which is located in the second-half miles of its luster form of the Hinserie – all in all three of Dortmund’s victories appear in the outstanding Play is quite realistic. Provided that the BVB boosts to weaker weeks, and the Derby disgrace against Schalke performance.
FC Bayern has alone because of the game in Leipzig (33. Round) to complete the well-being of heavier residual program. With Hannover, an opponent of Munich should not be a hurdle, however, comes first. On the last day of an unpredictable opponent is the record champion at home with Eintracht Frankfurt, although once again, but a victory in Munich is likely to be. It is, therefore, to the Showdown against Leipzig.
The rest of the program speaks so supposedly easy for the BVB. For FC Bayern, the projection of two points and the fact that Leipzig, because of the better Torverhältnisses to the BVB a point (wins against Hannover and Frankfurt, as well as three of Dortmund’s successes provided) would be enough to 29. To bring the German championship.
