Dortmund's main problem is that they can't play the football they want to play. They have 3 draws in the last 5 games, which means they have lost a lot of points. Despite all these draws, if they win against Cologne, their points will increase to 33. This match is very important for them. We are 44 minutes into the match and Dortmund are leading 1-0 away with Malen's goal.

The Bundesliga usually has the same teams in the title race, but this year things have changed a bit. There's also a big fight for qualification for the European Cups. I am sure we will see better matches in the coming weeks of the league.

Thanks to the relief win against Darmstadt, Dortmund can hope to return to finishing in the top 4. And they can aim for consecutive victories when facing Cologne in this round. Dortmund is only 3 points behind the 4th ranked team, RB Leipzig, and 4 points behind Stuttgart. The fact that Dortmund can squeeze into the top 4 is not too far-fetched. Dortmund has two good rookies, Ian Maatsen and Jadon Sancho. Especially when the appearance of Jadon Sancho brings a breath of fresh air. Dortmund's forward schedule is also very favorable. Dortmund's next 8 matches in the Bundesliga will be confrontations with teams outside the top 6.

So far the game has gone Dortmund have managed to steal a win from Koln through Donyell, it's 1-0 to Dortmund at half time, yes you're right this shouldn't be a problem for Dortmund even though they are away at Koln.

So far Dormund is really catching up and is on the back of a draw in its last five matches, so it is a disadvantage even though it got 1 point from the draw. But that's a long way from the top 3 of the Bundesliga and will disappoint their fans, because in the previous season they were almost able to get a victory in the Bundesliga, because it was stolen back by Bayern Munich.

Yes, this will be a very difficult game, bookmakers believe that Leipzig is the favorite (even nominal with a negligible advantage in the odds):

2.41 - 3.77 - 2.59

It seems doubtful to me because even despite the problem with the striker, Bayer has superior statistics in all respects and I don’t see how a leader can rate so poorly against a team in 4th place. I didn't place any money bets on this game, but in the poll I chose Bayer to win 2-1.

Even though this is an away match for Dortmund it shouldn't be a problem for them to be able to steal 3 points at home to Koln. Moreover, Dortmund currently needs these points if they want to return to the top 4. It might be an easy match and it could be difficult if Dortmund doesn't immediately take the lead in the first half because Koln will try to hold back Dortmund's draw and won't let Dortmund freely dominate the game.

The thing that needs to be paid attention to in this match is the H2H when Koln was the host and at that time Koln managed to hold a draw and even beat Dortmund so things like that must be avoided by Dortmund. They must continue their previous winning trend which was also achieved when they beat Darmstadt and it would be impressive if Dortmund managed to beat Koln at home.

You speak the truth.
Dortmund is unpredictable. In the first 18 games they lost so many points to mediocre and bad teams (such as Cologne). It's like day and night with them, you never know which kind of them will show up this time.

I just read that Sancho will start for Dortmund today, probably also because of many injured players on the BVB side.
Let's hope he can show some of the quality he had some years ago and why he was so valuable and popular.

If Dortmund doesn't start winning games like this one today they should start planing for Europa league or no European football next season because this won't be enough to reach the 4th spot.

Dortmund broke their losing streak in the last round against Darmstadt and their opponents are also weak in this round, Cologne are at the bottom of the table and have the worst attack in the Bundesliga with only 11 goals scored in 17 matches, so this should be an easy opponent for Dortmund , and 1.8 seems like a pretty good bet. And if Leipzig loses points in the match with Bayer, then this will be a good opportunity for Dortmund to get closer to them, such a chance cannot be missed.

Leverkussen has a pretty difficult game during this weekend playing away at Leipzig and for them this will be a real difficult test for them and if they manage to win this then they would be continuing their fight for the trophy in these remaining weeks of the Bundesliga.It will be difficult for them to win this one and they really need this,personally I have put a bet on them starting 0-2 meaning Asian Handicap on Leverkussen to start 2-0 for them as a result for a 1.20 odd as I think this would be the safest bet.

Leipzig has been on a very volatile form lately,winning against stronger teams and losing against weaker ones so you can expect anything from such team and any result.

In my opinion, this is an ordinary, unremarkable game, the only surprise may be in Borussia itself - they are capable of failing in any game against any opponent (as well as vice versa). In the “usual” scenario, Dortmund should win here without any problems.
I'm more interested in the game Bochum - Stuttgart, here, too, everything is clear on paper, since Bochum is not far from the basement, and Stuttgart is higher than everyone except the Bayer + Bayern couple. Can Stuttgart continue to lead "among ordinary teams"? It is noteworthy that Stuttgart has 5 defeats and Bochum, which is at the other pole of the standings, has only 6.

It seems that Koln ambition to get out of the degradation zone will have to be postponed again because the opponents they face are quite tough, there is no such thing as playing relaxed for both clubs because Dortmund also needs an additional three points to re-enter the top four of the standings. Leverkusen will face Leipzig, which I think Leipzig will drop points, and this is an opportunity for Dortmund to cut points. An opportunity that should be utilized well, it will be difficult to compete in the future if today Dortmund again fails to realize its target. On paper there is no doubt at all about Edin Terzic fleet, even though the odds @1.76 are very small, but betting on them will be quite safe.

In contrast to previous seasons, Dortmund performance this season has decreased significantly to the point where it cannot disrupt Bayern Munchen dominance in the Bundesliga. The increasing performance of a team like Leverkusen makes the competitive dynamics more exciting, but for Dortmund this is a loss. Moreover, Suttgart and Leipzig are also having good seasons, so the teams currently in the top four have thrown Dortmund to fifth place in the standings. But I think Dortmund will return to the top four sooner or later, starting with defeating Koln today. I think Leipzig and Stuttgart will be under threat, Dortmund is very ready to take third place in the standings.

The addition of new players has given confidence that Dortmund will perform consistently in the future, the recruitment of Sanho will increase Dortmund strength. On the other hand, especially Sancho, the England International player is very motivated to prove his quality to everyone, that Ten Hag was very wrong to reserve him for Man United. The competition for the top four will become increasingly fierce, and Dortmund must evaluate its performance if it wants to appear again in the UCL next season.

Heidenheim vs Wolfsburg

As promotion team i think Heidenheim performance was quite impressive this because they can able to gets 6 wins and 3 draw this also makes them can occupy 9th place on league standings and besides that recently Heidenheim has been showing positive results because Heidenheim only lost once from their 7 latest matches and Heidenheim also can beat strong teams just like Stuttgart and Freiburg and from head to head statistics in the first meeting both teams has been playing at the beginning of season at that time Wolfsburg can able to beat Heidenheim with scores 2-0

Just like i said above Heidenheim recently has been showing positive progress because they can gets 3 wins from 4 matches in Bundesliga and these results also makes their position jumped to 9th place and for this match most likely Heidenheim will rely on Tim Kleindienst for forward position and Eren Dinkçi as right winger and so far the performance of these players were very impressive and in Bundesliga they can able to scores 6 goals each and although in the first meeting Heidenheim lost but i think they can get revenge today and collect 3 points from Wolfsburg and for betting options Heidenheim has high odds @2.70

Unfortunately, Dortmund's victory over Darmstadt in the last match did not answer the problems faced by Edin Terzic's squad. in the match against Darmstadt and other matches, Nicklas Fullkrug has not been able to show his consistency as a pure striker who is a goal scoring machine for his team. Fortunately, several other players such as Julian Brandt, Donyell Malen, Marco Reus, contributed enough to help score goals when the pure strikers they relied on had difficulty doing their job. Terzic should try to give more playing time to their young striker Youssoufa Maukoko, when the main players he relies on are having problems scoring goals for his team.

In the next few hours, Dortmund will play a match away to Koln. Unfortunately, Edin Terzic's squad is not in a pleasant situation with injuries to several players such as Karim Adeyemi, Julian Ryerson, Marco Reus and several other players. Fortunately, currently Dortmund has brought in several players, namely Jardon Sancho from United and Ian Maatsen, a young player from Chelsea. however, it is certain that these two players, especially Jardon Sancho, will not immediately play as main starters. ideally, he will start playing from the bench.

Talking about the Koln vs Dortmund match, Dortmund should be able to take advantage to get full points even though several of their core players are injured. Statistically and the ranking of these two teams has a gap, Koln is currently struggling to escape the red zone which is ranked 17th in the Bundesliga standings. Even though you are playing at home, it is not an easy matter to beat Dortmund in this match. referring to betting options, of course the ideal choice is to bet on Dortmund with odds @1.76. Well, let's just wait for the final result of this match.

The Dortmund team failed to win 7 matches in a row. Bundesliga, Champions League and DFB Pokal, we saw Dortmund's  poor performance on all platforms. Even then, the team managed to qualify for the round of 16 of the Champions League.

After so many consecutive  matches without a win, Dortmund needed  a win against Dartmstadt. Dortmund won the match  3-0. They won the match by dominating it. And if they are able to continue this kind of performance, the Dortmund team can qualify for the Champions League. If the performance is not regular, it will not be possible for Dortmund to qualify for the Champions League. Stuttgart and Leipzig are now performing better than Dortmund.

Today's match Stuttgart will be against Bochum and odds @1.95 for Stuttgart and odds @3.65 for Bochum look tempting if we choose Stuttgart as the winner of the match.
It's a little doubtful if I bet on Stuttgart because I don't know confirmation that Guirassy will be able to appear again and I'm at least betting on the Asian total over 2 with odds @1.31 which is more comfortable but this is only a temporary prediction before the match starts because I need to see the formation data that will published before the match starts.
If you look at Stuttgart's last 5 matches, it is very dangerous when playing away from home because they failed several times and were defeated by Heidenheim and Monchengladbach.
Meanwhile, in today's match, Stuttgart will also be playing away and do you think Guirassy will be able to appear again with Stuttgart?

This is the highlight for me that fans of the two teams are worried about clashes, with the close distance, it does not rule out the possibility that if the match is quite fierce it will make the fans emotions more aggressive. However, I'm sure the police would have anticipated it before it actually happened. Frankfurt must be careful because playing at home to get 3 points is a difficult path. Darmsatdt is actually not a threat club, they do not have the additional strength to escape the threat of relegation. From 17 matches, they were only able to achieve 2 wins, putting this club in a very resigned situation and will play roughly.

even though Frankfurt is currently experiencing decline in performance, look at Frankfurt still being able to get 2 wins, which means that the performance of the Frankfurt players can still be relied on and it is very easy for Frankfurt to beat Darmstadt.
and on one hand, Darmstadt is just a team that has just been promoted this season with very bad results at the bottom of the standings, while currently Darmstadt is experiencing serious problems because several players are injured and of course Darmstadt will not be able to appear stronger at home because of the attacking players. and many midfielders currently suffer from injuries.

however, I have not seen and placed a bet for this match, but from the discussion we are talking about, it makes me believe that Frankfurt will easily secure 3 points to improve their performance and I also see that it seems like Frankfurt doesn't have any injured players.
but it looks like its position will not change because Dortmund will also only get weak opponents which gives Dortmund an advantage to maintain its position and for Dortmund fighting Koln is not difficult task.

I predict Darmstadt's winless streak in the Bundesliga will continue after seeing the last match played by Frankfurt at RB Leipzig headquarters, Frankfurt performed extraordinary and managed to beat the home team who were two places above them. The victory at Leipzig headquarters last week was an important victory for Frankfurt, because previously they had always lost their last four away matches. Frankfurt is very confident that they will win again at Darmstadt headquarters, especially since their opponents are in a slump. Winning this could also open up opportunities for Frankfurt who are trying to get into the top four.

There are some good matches in Germany today, but my favorite will be the Cologne - Borussia Dortmund match. Cologne parted ways with coach Steffen Baumgart a few weeks ago and signed Timo Schultz. They are in a horrible position in the league. If they continue to play with this performance they will be relegated to a lower league at the end of the season. On the other hand, Borussia Dortmund have lost a lot of points in recent weeks, but last week they beat the weakest team in the league, Darmstadt 98, and gained morale. Darmstadt 98 and Cologne are teams of equal strength. I think Borussia Dortmund will win this match as well.

Wow, that is a good odd for Frankfurt to win, almost a double at x1.93. Both teams have really bad stats in the last 10 games. Darmstadt have not won a game and lost 7. The last game in the Bundesliga they won 2-1 against Augsburg in October 2023, almost 3 months without a win. Frankfurt have won 3 games out of the last 10, but also lost 7, not a good statistic. But in the last 3 games they have won two, so that is a better position than Darmstadt. The last match between the two teams was in August 2023 and frankfurt won it 1-0. It will be exciting today, I think the most interesting game of the day.
