Borussia Dortmund vs Mainz: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Tags : Borussia Dortmund Mainz
Category : BundesLiga , Football , Football prediction , Match Preview

The 2022/23 Bundesliga season will wrap up this Saturday, with Borussia Dortmund welcoming Mainz to Signal Iduna Park.

The hosts will be desperate to end the season on a high note after reclaiming the title initiative thanks to a 3-0 win over ten-men Augsburg in their last outing.

That win, coupled with Bayern Munich’s 3-1 loss at home to RB Leipzig, means that Edin Terzic’s men can become the German champions for the first time in eleven years if they win this game against Mainz.

So it’s all or nothing for BVB, who will do all they can to ensure they end Bayern’s dominance and secure their ninth Bundesliga title.

Their home form ahead of this game makes them the favourites for a win here, with their eleven consecutive wins at the Signal Iduna Park their longest home winning streak this century.

Meanwhile, Mainz will look to play the role of title spoilers when they travel to Signal Iduna Park on Saturday.

The 05ers looked like a credible threat to European places recently. Yet a run of four straight defeats, which came after a ten-game unbeaten run of the league, has set them on the path to a tepid end to what seemed a promising campaign.

But Bo Svensson’s ninth-placed Mainz will at least hope to end the season with a win and record their first away win in three attempts.

Meanwhile, Mainz did Dortmund a favour earlier in the campaign by defeating Bayern 3-1, and Bayern will now pray that Mainz will build on a respectable record across their last three trips to Dortmund (W1, D1, L1) and return the favour.

Augsburg vs Borussia Dortmund: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Category : BundesLiga , Football , Football prediction , Match Preview

Borussia Dortmund will look to keep pace with Bayern Munich at the top of the Bundesliga table when they travel to WWK Arena to face Augsburg.

While the visitors are battling at the other end of the table to secure the title, the hosts are involved in a relegation battle.

They come into this penultimate round sitting in 13th place, four points ahead of the 18th-placed side. That means they can mathematically secure their Bundesliga future with a win here.

However, they could also be secure by the time kick-off comes around if results elsewhere favour them. Regardless of other results, the hosts will hope to improve on their rotten run of one win across the last nine rounds (W1, D4, L4). That sole victory came in their most recent home game against top-four hopefuls Union Berlin.

Meanwhile, Given that Augsburg have scored in their last 18 head-to-head meetings with Dortmund, this will not be a straightforward tie for the visitors, despite a good record in this fixture (W10, D5, L3).

The Back and Yellow come into this tie on the back of a huge 5-2 win over Borussia Mönchengladbach in the last round. That game was expected to be a banana skin for Edin Terzic’s side. But they scaled it in style to keep the pressure on Bayern Munich, who they trail by one point.

So any slip-up by the Bavarians will grant Dortmund the chance to win the title. But that will require them to keep winning their own games.

There is some precedent that might suggest to Dortmund fans that this is their year. In both 1994/95 and 2001/02, BVB won the league after heading into the penultimate round in second place.

However, to keep themselves in the frame for the title, they must end their rotten six-game winless away run (D3, L3).

Brighton AGREE DEAL for Borussia Dortmund midfielder

Category : Football , Football News , Premier League , Transfers

Brighton’s quest to become a force in English football is taking shape with the reported signing of Borussia Dortmund midfielder Mahmoud Dahoud.

The Seagulls have enjoyed a remarkable rise in the Premier League since their return to top-flight football.

They want to keep that positive mood at the Amex Stadium by completing their transfer business early this summer.

Having already secured the pre-signing of Brazilian forward Joao Pedro from Watford for a fee that could reach £30m, they have now sealed the signing of Dahoud from Borussia Dortmund on a free transfer, according to 90min.

It has long been known that the German midfielder would leave Signal-Iduna Park when his contract expires at the end of this season. Various clubs had been linked to him, with Premier League sides Brentford, Aston Leicester City, Newcastle United and West Ham United all interested.

But Brighton has won the race for the 27-year-old, who has been out for much of the season due to a shoulder injury.

Apart from Dahoud and Pedro, Roberto De Zerbi’s side are also closing in on a deal to bring Liverpool’s James Milner on a free transfer.

Real Madrid Stepup the Pace in the Race for Jude Bellingham

Real Madrid will look to make their biggest move yet in their race to sign Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham.

The Spanish giants are one of the many clubs vying for the signature of the Englishman. They want to ensure they win the race and have sent executives to Germany to convince Bellingham to choose them over Manchester City in the summer.

The two European giants are ahead in the race for the 19-year-old who has been slapped with a massive €150 million price tag by Borussia Dortmund.

According to the Spanish publication Marca, Los Blancos has been working on his transfer for the past ten months. To tilt the odds in their favour, they would take a step further and travel to Germany to convince Bellingham to join them in the summer.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side implemented the same strategy to sign Aurelien Tchouameni from Monaco when the Frenchman was chased by Premier League giants Chelsea and Liverpool. But, despite the odds, Madrid won the favour of the Frenchman by travelling to the Principality Stadium and presenting their sporting project. As a result, the 23-year-old was convinced and turned down heavier pay packets in favour of signing for Real Madrid jersey.

As per the report, Madrid have direct contact with Bellingham’s entourage, and they even held discussions with the player’s father last month.

Despite their charm offensive, it is reported that the Santiago Bernabeu side does not want to meet the €150 million price tag from Dortmund and are willing to offer Brahim Diaz on loan at AC Milan as part of a potential transfer in a bid to reduce the asking price.

Borussia Dortmund vs Frankfurt: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Category : BundesLiga , Football , Football prediction , Match Preview

Borussia Dortmund will look to return to winning ways this Saturday when they face Eintracht Frankfurt at Signal Iduna Park.

Last time, they failed to take advantage of Bayern Munich’s draw with Hoffenheim oas they, were held to a 3-3 draw against Stuttgart after taking the lead in the game.

Edin Terzić can only hope that his side’s failure to defeat Stuttgart in that pulsating draw won’t be a season-defining moment in the title race, as that was a golden opportunity to draw level with Bayern at the Bundesliga summit.

Regardless, the visit of Eintracht Frankfurt may provide some much-needed respite for the hosts, who hope to build on their patchy five-game league form (W2, D2, L1) against the side they’ve defeated more often than any other in the top-flight (W48, D20, L31).

If that’s not enough to inspire confidence, then perhaps boasting the league’s strongest home record (W11, D1, L1) will be enough to rally the troops after last weekend’s disappointment.

Frankfurt enters this clash in terrible form, having suffered an almighty fall from grace in the league, with a seven-game winless run seeing them tumble out of the European places (D4, L3).

Yet, Oliver Glasner’s side have a DFB Pokal semi-final on the horizon, so if they fall further adrift of the top six here, they’re likely to focus more on earning European qualification via the cup competition.

But things don’t look much better on the road for the Eagles, who are enduring their longest wait for an away league win since 2017 (D4, L4). Stopping the rot against this particular opposition will be tricky, to say the least, with Glasner losing each of his seven personal Bundesliga H2Hs with Dortmund. His embarrassment may not stop there, as one more defeat would equal the Bundesliga record for one coach against a specific opponent.

Arsenal and Man United target Julián Brandt sign new Dortmund deal

Borussia Dortmund have announced that Julian Brandt has signed a new contract that will keep him at Signal-Iduna Park until 2026.

The midfielder’s previous deal was set to expire next summer, but the Bundesliga giants have successfully negotiated an extension after several weeks of behind-the-scenes negotiation over new terms.

The new deal comes as a blow for clubs interested in Brandt, with Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City and Newcastle United all interested in the player, while Italian clubs Inter and Napoli were also keeping a watchful eye on negotiations.

BVB confirmed on Tuesday that Brandt has committed his future to the club.

Brandt said in a club statement: “Even after four years, I still have a lot of fun every single day being part of this very team, standing on the pitch with these guys and playing football for this highly emotional club with its extraordinary fans.

“To be honest, the feeling of being in the right place at the right time has always been the most important point in my sporting life.

“And that won’t change either. I’m looking forward to the next few years in black and yellow. And I’m sure we’ll have the opportunity to celebrate something big together.”

Having sealed a deal for Brandt, Dortmund might attempt to tie down the highly sought-after Jude Bellingham to a new contract. The English midfielder is wanted by Liverpool, Manchester City and Real Madrid but could stay back at Signal Iduna Park beyond this summer after Liverpool pulled out of the race due to his price tag.

Meanwhile, Dortmund are still in the Bundesliga title fight and could still pip Bayern Munich to the title this season, given the Bavarians’ struggles.

Should they win the title, it will help them in future negotiations and could persuade Bellingham to stay.

Robert Lewandowski reveals he wanted to join Man Utd

Category : Football , Football News , Premier League , Transfer news

Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski has revealed he was eager to join Manchester United earlier in his career when he was still playing for Borussia Dortmund.

The Polish international was among the most sought-after rising stars in 2011 when he received a direct phone call from legendary Man United boss Sir Alex Ferguson to join the Premier League. But Borussia Dortmund and Jurgen Klopp blocked a potential move.

Lewandowski began his career in the Polish lower leagues at age 16 before landing with top-flight Lech Poznan in 2008. He scored 41 times in 82 appearances across all competitions for the club before earning a move to Borussia Dortmund in 2010. He was a regular in Klopp’s side that won the 2010/11 Bundesliga title.

However, he wasn’t a prolific goalscorer at that stage of his career. Nevertheless, it appears that Man United and Alex Ferguson quickly saw his enormous potential and wanted to sign him around July 2011. United needed a fresh injection up front and would sign Robin van Persie to spearhead their next Premier League title charge the following year, but they also spoke to Lewandowski.

“I remember the moment exactly,” Lewandowski has now recalled in an interview with Sport Bild.

“We had a friendly with Dortmund in preparation, I think, against Bochum. I was subbed at half-time. I looked at my mobile phone in the dressing room. There was a text message with the sender +44. Ferguson had tried to call me and then sent me a message. He wanted to talk to me.

“I was still in the dressing room. I took a shower and called him back in a quiet corner. My English wasn’t as good as it is today. He has a strong Scottish accent. I was so focused on understanding what he meant! Alex Ferguson tried to be considerate and spoke slowly.

“I was 22 years old. It was a special moment. I spoke to Aki Watzke and Jurgen Klopp in the camp. I wanted to go to Man United! But they said: ‘No chance, Robert. We need you. You have to stay.”

Lewandowski stayed back and went on to score 30 goals in all competitions the next season for the first time in his career as Dortmund retained their title. He took the club to the Champions League final against Bayern Munich a year later before a free transfer to the Bavarian side in 2014. He seemed to get even better at Allianz Arena and netted 344 times in 375 games.

Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Bayern Munich will look to begin life under Thomas Tuchel with a bang when they welcome fierce rivals Borussia Dortmund to the Allianz Arena this Saturday for the second Bundesliga Der Klassiker of the season.

Tuchel replaced Julian Nagelsmann, who was sacked last week after a return of five wins from ten Bundesliga games in 2023. The poor return of points has seen the Bavarians relinquish the top spot to Dortmund, with their most recent 2-1 loss to Bayer Leverkusen placing them one point behind the visitors.

After his unveiling, Tuchel proclaimed that he wants to win “all the titles”, as Bayern are still in the battle to lift a Bundesliga, Champions League and DfB Pokal treble. But any hopes of doing so will be hinged mainly on how he performs in this first game against his former club.

Bayern’s current 52-point haul is their worst return at this stage of a Bundesliga season since they last failed to lift the famous trophy in 2011/12. Should they lose here, they will end the weekend four points behind Dortmund.

While Bayern wilted in 2023, the visitors have enjoyed a remarkable run of form in 2023. They remain unbeaten in the league this year, with their only blip coming in a 2-2 draw against fierce local rivals Schalke 04.

Having won eleven of their last 13 games in all competitions, they will bear no fear on this trip to Munich. A 6-1 win over Cologne just before the international break should also be give them much-needed inspiration.

However, they’ve lost their last eight Bundesliga trips to the Allianz Arena. Yet, Dortmund boss Edin Terzić has been boosted by the return of key players such as Julian Brandt and Youssoufa Moukoko from injury and will “travel to Munich with confidence and a full squad”.

Meanwhile, an incredible 346 goals have been scored across the 107 Bundesliga Der Klassikers; that’s 3.28 goals per match on average. So an ‘over 2.5 goals’ prediction will be a good bet.

Borussia Dortmund vs FC Koln: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Category : BundesLiga , Football , Football prediction , Match Preview

Borussia Dortmund will look to rekindle their title quest this Saturday when they take on FC Koln at Signal Iduna Park.

The hosts are fighting perennial Bundesliga winners Bayern Munich for this season’s title. But their chances of ending the Bavarians’ run to an eleventh consecutive league title took a big hit last time when they were held to a 2-2 draw with Schalke 04 in the Revierderby.

The draw followed a disappointing 2-0 loss to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, confirming BVB’s exit from the Champions League. However, after a run of ten consecutive wins, two games without a win isn’t enough for Edin Terzić to panic just yet.

But with Bayern now two points ahead, the Dortmund manager will be desperate for his side to bounce back here and keep them within striking distance of Bayern ahead of the international break.

The potential returns of Marco Reus and Karim Adeyemi should help here. As Dortmund have only lost one of the last 22 home H2Hs against Cologne (W17, D4), this could be an ideal opportunity for them to return to winning ways.

The visitors travel to Westfalenstadion in terrible form, having not won in their last four games (D1, L3). In fact, they failed to score in each of those games, resulting in a slide down the standings.

They appear safe from the bottom three for the moment, though, while starting the round seven points from both the relegation zone and the top half means the destiny of their season is now clearly in their own hands.

But having not won here with fans present since April 1991, it’ll be challenging for the Billy Goats to rediscover some goalscoring form.

Hoffenheim vs Borussia Dortmund: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Category : BundesLiga , Football , Football prediction , Match Preview

Borussia Dortmund will look to go top of the Bundesliga table when they travel to PreZero Arena to take on a struggling Hoffenheim team.

The hosts come into this tie without a win in 12 league games (D2, L10) despite sacking their manager and replacing him with Pellegrino Matarazzo. The new boss has overseen two losses in his first two games in charge of the Sinsheim club.

He will hope that the third time’s the charm against title-chasing Borussia Dortmund even though they have recorded eight defeats in their last nine Bundesliga games as pre-match outsiders (W1, L8).

Yet, they have a good record against Borussia Dortmund, having drawn five of the last nine home H2Hs (W2, D5, L2), albeit without a clean sheet. But the visitors will fancy their chances here, given that they have won their last eight games in all competitions since the restart.

Their 4-1 demolition of Hertha Berlin last weekend left them tied on points with Union Berlin and bitter rivals Bayern Munich in the top three of the Bundesliga standings. And with the other title-chasers playing each other on Sunday, Dortmund will provisionally go top of the league with a victory.

Given that they are the only side across Europe’s top-ten-ranked leagues to have won every one of their competitive matches this calendar year, they will fancy their chances of extending Hoffenheim’s run of six straight home games with at least two goals conceded. Meanwhile, a league-high eight (73%) of Hoffeinheim’s eleven home league games this season saw both teams score, so we can expect a high-scoring affair of over 2.5 goals and both teams to score.
