Dortmund has always managed to close every season in the top 4 and I am sure they will also try to maintain their tradition by closing the season in 2nd, 3rd or 4th place.
Yes, so far their performance has been very unstable because in the last 5 matches Nurin Sahin's squad has only managed to win 2 and lose 3 of course that is not a good thing because last season they performed better but this season their performance seems to be declining.

If you look at Bayern Munich's performance, of course they have performed better this season because until week 10 Bayern Munich has been able to widen the points difference with the team below it to 5 points. Of course I think Bayern Munich will win the title again this season because currently they are performing impressively without losing. On the other hand, Leverkusen is also relatively inconsistent because many of the matches they have played have ended in a draw.

The ability to play well is there, they have proven it, they did win so many games. Not like Dortmund is playing badly, they are playing good in some games, apparently mostly in home games, but they do play fine. Which means that they have what it takes to be a good team, nobody ever says they are a bad team. What they need to learn now is to make sure they play like that every game, and if they can do that then they are going to end up with a better result, shouldn't really be an issue.

I believe the best way to improve a team would be just making sure that we are dealing with a greater profit on the long run as well. I know that this won't be easy at all, but it could very well happen and we could make some profit with it when betting on them.

The absence of several core players has indeed made Nuri Sahin unable to bring his team to progress consistently throughout the matches they played in the Bundesliga, most recently they lost at Mainz's headquarters. Fortunately, Dortmund is slightly better in the Champions League, only losing once when visiting the Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid's headquarters. Dortmund's performance so far has not been optimal, sometimes they play well, not infrequently they underperform. Well, after the international match, Nuri Sahin is expected to be able to return his team to being even better. Although I don't know which players will be absent, and which players will recover soon. But in fact they have a team that can be said to be competitive in the Bundesliga, although some of them have to be sidelined due to injury. Talking about Dortmund's chances, I think the Bundesliga still has many matches to complete. Which means, if Nuri Sahin can explore the abilities of his team while developing his potential as a BVB tactician, they still have a very good chance of finishing in the top four of this competition. but with the condition, Nuri Sahin must bring his team to play much better than before. currently, Dortmund has a break to restore the energy and mentality of the team as a whole. the match against Freiburg at Signal Iduna Park, should be a turning point for them to achieve victory. yeah, regardless of their injured players. anyway, some substitute players are no less qualified than Dortmund's main players.

In my personal assessment of Dortmund, that Dortmund is not a team that has big ambitions to get trophies. But, Dortmund only seeks to get good results, so it is no wonder that Dortmund is often a  strong contender in the race for trophies in the Bundesliga and also, no wonder also about Dortmund playing in the Champions League final last season. But still,  for me basically Dortmund only try to get good results to be in a good position also in the standings, but they never have big ambitions to get trophies. After all, if Dortmund had big ambitions to get trophies, then Dortmund should have kept their great players from season to season,not always selling them  to  benefit the club's finances.

Although Dortmund performance lately has been bad, I still believe that at the end of the season this team can finish in the top 4 to get a UCL ticket.
I admit this is too early but if we remember Dortmund has always succeeded in getting the best position in the standings even though the beginning of the season looked very unstable but in fact Dortmund was able to face every challenge simply.
Maybe the current condition is a bit difficult because Dortmund has to fight in several competitions and also chase the title in the UCL (although impossible). So that in recent performances it has been a bit inconsistent.

5x wins 1x draw 4x losses is bad for Dortmund.

This is the factor where many injured players make the team's performance decline, as experienced by several other teams in other leagues this clearly has a bad impact.

I don't know if after the international break things will improve? In Nation league matches many players are injured this is clearly detrimental to the club, but I don't expect that it's just that the players are often tired.

Yes for the games that are now played from Dortmund its a really disappointed result where they are in the table.
I guess the most reason that they are not playing well is the lot of injured players and that they cant play every week with the same team.
Dont know if the international break will be fix the things , and hopefully they start win some games again after that.

Yeah Dortmund performance have not be okay this season, just that even at that their performances is not that bad and they are still doing very well. Their last five games have been terrible, they were only able to win two, the mentality will drive the success of a club sometimes, and a lot of miestery have been happening and we will not be able to determine why will happen to all this clubs they did better last season because even Dortmund qualified for champions league final just that they were unable to win.

And the seventh position that they are it is not guarantee that they will stay up there or given go below because that is what happens most times, the moment a club starts experiencing problems they find it very hard to be able to keep up. From what they are playing now you already know that they won't do any reasonable thing this season  but they are cooking things maybe for next thing.

Dortmund full strength team last match performance is not satisfactory because all fans have an eye on the performance of that team but that team could not play well in the ground and lose the last match against FSV Mainz 05 full strength football team.  

I am watching the all matches of Bundesliga and I expected that match will be very tough match but FSV Mainz 05 team looked dominant in this match abd won the match easily but I have great expectations from Dortmund full strength team because they have good combination of attackers and defenders which will play well in next matches.Guirassy was the single person who did goal in this match from the team of Dortmund team because all other players could not do any goal and defenders of opponent team defended all balls.

this reminds me of the 2022-2023 season, where at that time both Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund finished with the same points, namely 71 points, but because the goal difference was too far, in the end Borussia had to let Munich lift the trophy in the season. but if the final match against Mainz could be won by Borussia, then Borussia would be the one to lift the trophy. And now in the 2024-2025 season Borussia must fight again to be in the top position and compete tightly for the top position in the standings, with the team's current condition being struggling.

And from the 10 matches played, Borussia Dortmund only collected 16 points so that for the time being they are in 7th position. and to be able to return Borussia to the top three of the standings, Borussia needs a lot of wins. And hopefully the international break can give Dortmund plenty of time to fix everything and come back full of surprises.

Dortmund has won 5 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats from 10 matches this season, as a team with ambitions to win the championship of course losing points in 4 matches has reduced their chances, consistency of performance is a problem for Dortmund at the moment and I think if they still want to reach at least the top 4 zone at the end of the season, then Nuri Sahin must be able to restore their current performance to be better including balance when playing home and away.



Without meaning to underestimate Dortmund, I think with their current performance, their chance to be able to break the dominance of Munich will be very difficult, even to break into the top 4 will be very difficult for them given their bad performance and also the start of an increase in the performance from other teams in bundesliga at this time, but if Dortmund can overcome their current inconsistency, then what you say might happen, because the key for Dortmund is to improve their away performance and also maintain consistency for the rest of the season.

By looking at the thin point difference in the top four area to the 7th position currently occupied by Dortmund, then maybe I will also agree with you that it is still too early to conclude that Dortmund will be down this season, with this situation we can still put hope in Dortmund that there is still a possibility for them to climb up to the top four positions in the standings to secure a UCL ticket, everything is still possible for Dortmund when their point difference is thin. On the other hand, regarding Leverkusen, as we know how they performed last season but now everything looks disappointing, Freiburg and Union Berlin have indeed performed quite well this season but I think it is unlikely for them to be able to survive in the competition until the end of the season, so I think for this season, the championship title will most likely only be won by one of the two teams between Bayern Munich or Leipzig, or maybe Frankfurt is also included in it.

I agree with you on this, when a manager that has good managerial skills arrived at a club, he will perform very well with his team because it's assumed that other team may not be conversant with his new pattern of play and that will make it difficult for other teams to tackle them but such manager should not expect business as usual in the next season, what we are seeing in Leverkusen presently was expected to happen, though I didnt expect their performance to be this bad to the extent that they were unable to beat teams like bochum that is not in a good form, bochum was beaten by Bayern munich convincly in the previous week but bayerleverkusen allowed them to equalized towards the last minute of their match with them, in the last 5 matches of Leverkusen they were able to win 1, draw 3 and lost 1 which was in the UEFA champions league with Liverpool, they match ended on a 4:0 defeat against them, i have thoroughly cross check their performance, it's very unimpressive.

Talking about their chances of winning the league title this season, their chances is very slim because I don't see any seriousness in the team, so how are they going to do it, unless theirs a change in their performance, if not there is nothing they can do, they have made it so easy for Bayern Munich this season, as it stands I don't see any form of obstacle for Bayern in that league, so it will be easy for anyone to conclude that bayern will be the title holder this season considering their performance.

Hell no definitely not. I know what you are talking about, but if this was to be labeled the new manager syndrome, maybe all clubs should get a new manager and try to break the record of going unbeaten in the Bundesliga for an entire season and collect the second most points that have ever been collected in a Bundesliga season. Lol, the syndrome you are talking about is when a team has like 3 or 4 wins after a new manager was given the chance because a team performs like trash. But what Leverkusen has done is unprecedented in the Bundesliga. 28 wins and 6 draws in 34 games is not the result of a syndrome

They took the Bundesliga by storm and they played amazing football. It was justified. But nobody thought they could do the same as this would be unprecedented once again. There is no team in Europe as far as I know that was ever able to go two seasons without a defeat. What are we talking about here? Syndromes...

I don't think that all the players would be happy when selected to play for their country this season since the game will be stressful for them, and I'm confident that if a player plays every game this season, they will go down due to injury because there are about 70 games in a single season. Many players will miss these international games because of injuries, and I'm not sure whether all of them suffered serious injuries. Perhaps they are simply avoiding the international games for the moment, so they can concentrate on the league games after.


You also observe that Dortmund's performance appears to be strongest at home, but it goes down when they play away. Dortmund has lost to Augsburg this season and their last game before the international break to Mainz, a team Leipzig has defeated away this season. Dortmund's performance cannot be relied on at this time; despite the fact that the season is still early, they must perform much better if they are to finish among the top four this season, since their current performance will not get them there.

It is still very early to conclude like that because Dortmund is only one point behind the team in the top four zone, namely Leverkusen, even though Dortmund is currently in seventh place in the Bundesliga standings. In addition, I am also worried about the performance of teams like Union Berlin, Freiburg and Leverkusen because they all also look inconsistent enough in winning matches at the beginning of this season so the opportunity to seize the top four position by Dortmund is still very open because it is still quite possible to achieve.

Since transfered from Tottenham to Bayern Munich Harry Kane can adapt quickly with this team and last season he was being an Bundesliga best player and Bundesliga top scorer and for this season too his chances to repeat last season achievement will be wide open and if Kane can able to managed his consistency for every matches i am sure he can scores at least 30 goals or even above until this season ended

For Omar Marmoush last season he only scores 12 goals from 29 matches in Bundesliga with Frankfurt but this season he has change became an sharp striker because until week 10 he can scores 11 goals and this achievement too makes some rumours appears regarding his future that the latest rumour about him is Liverpool is interested want to bought him this January

It seems that Kane has a strong competitor for the top scorer. Currently Kane has made 11 goals. This is the same with Frankfrut striker Omar Marmoush. Say saw from the beginning of the league that these 2 players were so prolific, in just 10 league games they made 11 goals.
List of the top 6 Bundesliga top scorers:
1. Omar Marmoush 11 goals
2. Harry Kane 11 goals
3. Victor Boniface 6 goals
4. Kleindienst team 6 goals
5. Jonathan Burkard 6 goals
6. Serhou Guirassy 6 goals

But if in the end Dortmund's focus only returns to the position they should have gotten unlike the previous 2 seasons where they were always able to compete for trophies of course this is good but the competition has weakened for this season.

The competition for trophies at the beginning of this season has loosened a bit which in the end has made Bayern run alone for now.

Dortmund's consistency is still very bad at the moment especially if you look at the statistics when 10 matches ended with 4 defeats including 3 defeats in the last 5 matches that are clearly not good. Currently Dortmund must try harder because in the end they still have to remain one of the clubs that must remain in the top standings and should even be able to enliven the competition for trophies.

It shows that Dortmund does not have a good mentality, they only play well when playing at home but overall their performance this season is not that good and in my opinion Dortmund has declined compared to last season.
Now Dortmund is in 7th place in the standings and if you look at their performance I am pessimistic that Dortmund can reach or finish in the top 4 this season.
And for the record that was said I think it's just a joke. lol
