i think normally you can congratulate bayern münchen on the german championship again. like almost every year, the other teams give away their points.
that's how it's always been in the last 10 years. you think that dortmund might have a chance at the title and then they only get one lucky point in gelsenkirchen.
that's just too little for a top team. dortmund, leipzig, wolfsburg, leverkusen! all these clubs want to become german Bundesliga champion again.
but look at their performance! they won't achieve this goal in the next 20 years. bayern münchen has to play the match with 8 players.

Dortmund needs to be ambitious in terms of their policies the German league is listed amongst the top 5 leagues in Europe but the competition they're giving to Bayern is it top notch they need to learn to keep their best players and not ell them out as if they are sporting Lisbon or Ajax their mentality is only on making profit not to win titles and as long as that is on Bayern will continue to win their league title..

Its a shame and i am really disappointed from Dortmund a bit.
And also Union Berlin against Wolfsburg played a draw and they all have played again for Bayern munich.
Hopefully this lost points for Dortmund and Union Berlin will be not missed for them laters when the season gets to the end.
Next week it would be interesting when Munich is playing in Leverkusen.

I was really surprised aswell right now that Dortmund made an error and the match ends in a draw now Bayern Munich is left with 2 points advantage with the position, which set Bayern Munich to have 2 points lead and a breather for them, well Schalke made a great defense in securing that Dortmund would just have 2 goals and surely Dortmund is having a bad time with their defense in letting Schalke make 2 goals to make it a draw, well I think this is because Dortmund really has an open defense that is likely easy to penetrate and this is really Dortmund problem ever since,


Well, maybe Dortmund really underestimated Schalke, we all know even if those teams are in the below position if you underestimated them they can surely bite you, and Dortmund didn't realize this and it was really too late because Schalke already tighten their defense, or Dortmund really has a bad day that time, that is why their play was really off,


There are so many games that ended up in a draw Hertha VS Mainz, Eintracht Frankfurt VS Stuttgart, Schalke VS Dortmund, and recently Wolfsburg VS Union Berlin matches, well I surely notice that Wolfsburg is getting great with their matches and has to leave Union Berlin in utter shocked but surely Wolfsburg also struggles in making another goal against Union Berlin because surely Union Berlin's defense is crazy aswell,

The match ended in a draw with all teams scoring one goal, Union Berlin wasted many chances to still be a title contender this season with their results I think they are out. The match was well controlled by the hosts, even though they had fallen behind they were able to equalize and get 1 point.
It seems that Union Berlin has experienced a significant decline in performance so that they have had unsatisfactory results in the last few matches, it is quite unfortunate about that because they were predicted to make Bayern's move to be difficult but that only happens in the early part of the season after that they just keep going down.

We can't really blame them for their struggles. As Mourinho said in an interview now he is jealous of Bayern because when Nagelsmann needs to bring on three new players, those players are called Gnabry, Sané and Mané. Mourinho added he would be happy to even have only one of those three guys!

Now Union Berlin isn't used to that pace although Bayern doesn't even play the best of the best right now. But if even Dortmund isn't able to keep pace, how should Union Berlin then be able to? Now it is only a question of time for Bayern to win the championship again and it is once more because their strongest contenders are losing games against weak teams. But even Bayern can't be satisfied when they concede three goals in a home game against Augsburg. They just don't care because the only thing that counts are the three points.

Union Berlin already have a better season than they could imagine when the season began. What they got recent weeks is common problem with small clubs that struggle to maintain their performance within a long season with limited player resource. They can not compare with Bayern Munich and now three clubs have 45 points, Dortmund also started to fall behind Bayern Munich again.

I actually think that only Dortmund will be able to compete with Bayern Munich in this season for Bundesliga trophy. Other three clubs will have to accept that they only are able to compete for top four positions.

Union Berlin have won just one of their last 7 matches. They won the Europa League match against Ajax. Also we saw poor performances from Union Berlin in all other matches. Now Union Berlin is 7 points behind Bayern Munich and is fourth in the points table.

Union Berlin's performance is deteriorating day by day. Union Berlin's main weakness is their attack. Berlin does not have enough talented players in the forwards. And due to the lack of experienced strikers, we are not getting the expected performance from Union Berlin.

Union Berlin's poor form still continues. This was their fourth game in a row that they lost points in the league. Their most recent game was against Wolfsburg away though. I see it normal that they had problems against Wolfsburg. Of course Union Berlin don't have any claim on the league title normally. But after that work they have done so far I assume the fans have made an improvement in their expectations as well.

But their job about keeping themselves in top four will not be easy at all. This performance wouldn't be enough to stay ahead of Freiburg I think.

Bayern is the kind of teams that you don't want to face in any competition. They are very dangerous and rarely slip. The other teams have the chance of winning them only when they are in their weakest time.
In Bundesliga, the gap is just 2 points between Bayern and Dortmund but it is Dortmund fault to get a draw vs Schalke and let Bayern advance.
In my opinion the real fight for the moment is between Leipzig, Union and Freiburg for the 3rd and 4th positions, in order to participate in UCL next season.
For Leverkusen, they might get a chance to play in Conference League if they keep winning.

How effective has cancello been he has been dropped on the bench again
A player who left just for more minutes has still been dropped again
He has to check himself but good game yesterday from the Portugal international

For a while , I really believed that Bayern will not win Bundesliga this year but it looks I'm wrong , because in their last games ( including UCL games ) they played a top tier football and I'm afraid that competition will stand no chance in Bundesliga and I can also see them achieving UCL final and maybe even winning it.

Instead , we have a great competition from 2nd place until 6th place as their are up tight in points and anything can happen , including teams like Leverkusen who are back on track , to slowly climb back in European spots.

Hoffenheim usually isn't a bad team although it is hard to make anyone believe that when you just look at the standings in the table of course. There have been a few games that could have also ended in their favor, but that's nothing anybody asks for when in the end you are left there with empty hands. The last four games they have lost them all with just one goal difference.

But the awful truth is that they won their last game on January 9th. I have no idea how it was even possible for them to crash so hard. To even take the last position in the table when we have all seen how bad Schalke was performing. It doesn't look well for them in regards to any potential turn around. They are stuck, but the good news is that the other teams are stuck to a certain degree as well.

Bochum is scoring every now and then even in an away game now when nobody expected them to. My guess is that Stuttgart and Hoffenheim will have the hardest time to stay in the 1. Bundesliga.

Freiburg defeated hoffenheim at home, albeit with difficulty.  Hoffenheim, who are in the relegation zone, conceded a goal in the last few minutes to lose the draw. I think ozan kabak's red card had a lot to do with it. It's unacceptable for him to make such a mistake when it's important for them to get even a point in games like this.
The winner in the goal duel was Leverkusen. Leverkusen are in good form and they have no problem scoring goals. If they solve their defensive problems they will be a very good team.
Union berlin lost 2 more points with a draw in an important match. They were doing well at the beginning of the league but suddenly they lost their form. I think they couldn't handle the stress and they are slowly dropping out of the championship race.

The match between Union Berlin and Wolfsburg did end in a draw. The result was one-one. I think Union Berlin should be able to win these matches. if they want to stay in the top three at least. I really do not understand Union Berlin. Sometimes they have been performing really well in this season and sometimes they have just played so badly.

Just look at the last 5 matches of Union Berlin. They have not performed well at all. Only one when in the last five. Sometimes looking at the performance of Union Berlin, it feels like they are going to finish in the top two. Other times it feels like they are not going to even finish in the top 5.

They are a bit stunted now. This match should have done well for Dortmund. They were 2 times ahead but they couldn't stop Schalke's counterattack and the conditions were always equalized until the final whistle was blown.
This is one of the conditions where they seem to be starting to move away from Bayern and I didn't expect this because I am comfortable with one after another of points at this top position.

the game ended in a draw, with this result union berlin is in position 4, this union berlin came from a sequence of 3 games without scoring a goal, honestly this team is very strange, I don't even understand how the hell they are in this high position, but I doubt they'll finish in this position at this rate, I won't be surprised if they lose points in the next game, so far their defense has been good and that's been their salvation, but their attack is very poor, from 24 games they've only managed score 36 goals

Freiburg 2 - 1 Hoffenheim

this is a result that doesn't surprise me, Hoffenheim has been unlucky, in this game they could have achieved a better result, something like a draw, but with a reduced player they conceded another goal and Freiburg left the game with victory, it looks like Hoffenheim will be relegated this season, it's already 5 consecutive defeats, and things haven't improved, it's safe to say that they will be relegated this season

Werder Bremen 2 - 3 Bayer Leverkusen

well, Bayer Leverkusen did their job well, they scored 3 goals and won the game, unfortunately they don't have any chance of finishing in a position that allows them to be in the European competitions, they lost a lot of points and their opponents aren't losing points often hence my conclusion is simple: Bayer Leverkusen has no chance of finishing in a good position, but they need to win the games so as not to be disputing with teams from the relegation zone

The competition is so interesting  expecially for teams in the top for positions,  but as for Bayern Munich they are not struggling like to teams in the top four. Union berlin couldn't maintain their position,  they are really struggling with their performance. Seems Union Berlin will get a full point if they don't allow wolfsburg to equalize the game.

No goals yet in the wolfsburg union berlin game its a high stakes game for both teams, if they lose points today wolfsburg team will be five points away from a european spot which will make it hard for them to catch up and union berlin team will lose the third position, in the second half we didn't see much goal chances as the first one it seems that both teams are afraid of losing.

By the way, will the match between Wolfsburg v Union Berlin end in a goalless draw? Because at half time the score in this match was still 0-0, and I seemed to be starting to doubt them about having a goal in this match. Indeed, there's still 45 minutes in the second half and I hope one of them can score first, because then at least the team left behind will be more open to scoring.

But if I consider the results of the home and away matches for these two teams so far this season, then I get the same good results for them when playing away. So yes, it's possible that Union Berlin can still continue their good trend in this away match but unfortunately, Union Berlin's statistics in this match are not very good.
