Mainz is winning the mighty Borussia Dortmund two goals to nil twenty into the match. This is a bad outing for a team that just won a spot at the UCL final by defeating the French champion PSG. Many gamblers would have played this match hoping to get a winning from the match, now Dortmund is messing their bets up. With a result like this, it becomes dangerous playing accumulation which is what many people do to make the odds bigger for small income gamblers to make something out of the game. It is first half, I hope that Dortmund will be able to bring the match back to life as they usually do sometimes, they can take a clue from Bayern Leverkusen.
Results from other Bundesliga matches have been great today, most of the matches gave goals which is what most people play the average teams. Maybe those who still played Dortmund based on the expectations of goals might escape the loss of the week.
Being 3 goals behind before the first half ended was clearly not a good thing for Borussia Dortmund, how they had to swallow 3 goals in 23 minutes of the first half. The problem is that Mainz are not that great a team, they are now at the bottom of the table just one level above the danger zone, while Borussia Dortmund is a team that is in very good condition after they successfully stepped foot in the Champions League final this season.
If you say this is because they are more focused on the Champions League matches, I don't think it makes sense, because they should prepare themselves by playing well in the matches they play. If they lose to a team at the bottom of the table, it will make their mentality decline, even though they may no longer care about matches in the Bundesliga, but still the score seen now is something that should not happen.
I think Dortmund may not be playing with full strength and confidence at the moment, it does look a bit strange to see Dortmund concede three goals just like that, they look very weak at the back which allows Mainz players to score three goals easily, but the game is not yet is over because it's possible Dortmund will respond and come back, as long as the match isn't over we can't conclude Dortmund's current strength, but if they end up losing it won't hurt them either, because they'll still get UCL tickets next season and won't be chasing the difference in points. with Leipzig.
It will not be possible for Eintracht Frankfurt to catch up with Dortmund because the point difference is very far, Dortmund losing is also impossible because there is score fixing. Sometimes we don't need to be too surprised when a top team suffers a defeat by a bottom team, but it all goes back to Dortmund's preparations of course. This result can also outwit Madrid in the final, Dortmund sometimes often surprises, that's why Dortmund is a team that is very difficult to predict, I also never bet on this team in any match.
