If we look at Dortmund's performance under Nuri Sahin, it's hard to say that they will be a strong contender this season. We know that Dortmund is 10 points behind Munich, they have suffered 4 defeats, 1 draw from 11 matches in the Bundesliga. Dortmund cannot be said to be stable in their 11 matches, especially since they have several players who are still absent due to injury, even Dortmund's performance and productivity are inferior to Frankfurt who are in 2nd place in the standings, although the difference in points from Frankfurt is not that significant. It is possible that at any time, Dortmund will overtake Frankfurt's position as runner-up, but on condition that Dortmund must appear with much better performance and win their matches, including this week against Munich. Unfortunately, it is not easy and will be quite a tough job for Nuri Sahin to defeat Bayern Munich even though they are acting as the home team. In addition, Munich can be said to be in the right form in the Bundesliga. They have not experienced defeat in their 11 matches, as well as being a much more productive team in this competition. Nevertheless, the match between the two teams will be very interesting to wait for, what is certain is that Dortmund will try to perform optimally and try to steal full points at their own headquarters. let's just wait for the results of this match, after all in football anything can happen and no exception if Dortmund is able to steal full points so that they maintain or increase their position on the Bundesliga standings.
I think Dortmund is not going to perform great in this season. So far they have not been able to show any good things. The biggest thing that is missing from their game is consistency. They have been consistently inconsistent. Compared to Dortmund, Mainz and Wolfsburg are performing better. It is actually amazing how they are still in the fifth position on the table. Winning 6 matches out of the 12, I think we expect better from them. I believe they are definitely not going to be a contender for the Bundesliga this season. At least not with this inconsistency. Frankfurt has been playing really well this season. I am not going to be surprised if they actually end up being the runners-up in this season. At this moment it seems like there are no contenders for Bayern in this season. And even if some club is actually able to give them competition, I am pretty sure it is not going to be Dortmund.
