I haven't watched the Bundesliga standing look like this since long time, knowing that Union Berlin could have taken the lead if they had won against Schalke. Unfortunately, Schalke forced them to an unexpected draw. The competitiveness in any league is fascinating and it can help draw the attention to this league. I hope we see similar standing at the end of the season, although I believe other teams are still far from Bayern Munich with regard to finance and performance.
It's a shame that Union Berlin failed to win against Schalke and only ended with a 0-0 draw. Meanwhile, Dortmund they managed to beat Hertha Berlin with a landslide score of 4-1 and made them secure 3 full points in the match. But if you talk about Bayern Munich, they are still superior above everything, it's just that if they are not aware of the performance of their rival teams, they will start to shift next week. I think Julian Nagelsmann must immediately find a way to anticipate this and achieve victory with Bayern Munich.
Union Berlin generally continues with this interesting statistic this year. They have a chance to lead, but they are not taking advantage of it. They drew 0-0 with Schalke and could not organize much attack in the match. It's like they tried to keep Bayern Munich in the lead. Currently, Bayern continues to lead the league with a big difference.
As I said in a previous post, the effect of fatigue can make Union Berlin's performance decrease. and yes, Union Berlin was unable to maximize the momentum to subvert its opponent. whereas, Schalke is not a strong and tough opponent for Berlin. if Berlin wins over Schalke, then Union Berlin shifts the leader of the standings. it's a shame, Urs Fischer's troop squad had to be willing to share one point with the opposing team in that match.
Next, Berlin has a tough match which will host Ajax at their own turf. after that, Union Berlin will play a crucial match at the Allian Arena, Bayern Munich's headquarters. and it looks like, most likely, Union Berlin will suffer a drop in form. even so, the Bayern Munich vs Union Berlin match will be an important match for both teams. because, both Munich and Union Berlin, have the same points.
On the other hand, Dortmund has a big chance to occupy the top of the standings if they are able to overthrow Hoffenheim this week. Well, isn't it interesting because now the competition in the Bundesliga feels more competitive.
