Dear fans and friends, there are two exciting matchups in the Bundesliga today! Dortmund will be at home against Mainz, can they continue to maintain their strong home strength?
At the same time, Werder Bremen will also be challenged by RB Leipzig at home, and will this team with a good away record be able to complete an away win? Let's take a look at the matchup between the two giants in the Bundesliga!
1. Dortmund hosts Mainz
Borussia Dortmund have a strong home record of late, winning six and drawing two, scoring 26 goals in 10 games, and their attacking firepower is outstanding.
With 37 goals scored in the last 15 games, the game is never short of goals. In particular, Dort's match against Mainz, which won 8 of the last 10 meetings, was completely difficult for the opponent to parry.
In contrast, Mainz's away performance is extremely poor, with 5 draws and 5 defeats in the last 10 away games without winning, and 3 consecutive away draws, and the offensive ability is obviously not good. In the last 6 meetings with Dort, he has only won 2 draws and 4 losses, and is completely at a disadvantage.
Therefore, Dort's chances of winning at home are extremely high, and it is very difficult for Mainz to turn the tables. The combination of main defender Akavington and midfielder Luka Modric will further strengthen Dort's defensive stability. And Mainz's veteran Kroos must do his best if he wants to open up the situation, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve.
2. Werder plays Leipzig at home
Compared with Dortmund's strength, Werder's home strength is actually relatively average, with only 4 wins this season, and they are all weak teams. Leipzig has only won 1 of the last 10 meetings, and there is a clear disparity in strength.
Leipzig, on the other hand, have been excellent on the road, winning six of their last 10 away matches and scoring 60 per cent. Especially against Werder, Leipzig have won their last five away games, and striker Christian Pulisic is also expected to score a hat-trick on the road. He has scored nine times in his last 10 games and is in excellent form.
So the outcome of this matchup is difficult to predict, and unless Werder's new signing Cristiano Ronaldo can break out, it will be difficult to beat the mighty Leipzig. In particular, Werder's defense has always been a shortcoming, conceding nearly 2 goals per game this season, and it is likely to be broken again.
[Some netizens said] Werder's home strength seems to be overestimated, and the previous 4 victories were just good luck, and this time I am afraid it will be difficult to escape the big rout.
In contrast, Leipzig's overall strength is at a high level, not only with excellent away performance, but also far beyond Werder in attack. It is expected that there is a good chance of winning away from home this time.
[Some netizens said] Werder should present three major gift packages this time, and the help of the six gentlemen may not be useful, after all, it will be difficult to beat Leipzig's away storm!
3. Dortmund's ups and downs Can Mainz complete the reversal
Despite Dortmund's strong performance in the past, their form has declined in recent rounds, with only 3 draws and 2 defeats in the last 5 games, and the attack has become weak.
In particular, there is a gap in the defense, which will give the opponent a chance. For example, in the last round, they were shocked to be beaten 4-2 by their arch-rivals Bayern Munich.
So Mainz still has a chance away this time, after all, Dort has already shown his flaws. As long as a few key players play consistently, they should be able to draw or even win. After all, Dort's new centre-back Pavard is not stable and is likely to make mistakes at crucial moments.
Fourth, Leipzig is strong and can Werder complete the home reversal
Although Leipzig have been in good form on the road and in attack recently, they have only won four and drawn one against Werder in the past.
After all, there is a natural difference between playing away from home and playing at home, and it is difficult to win easily in the opponent's field. What's more, Werder has a certain home advantage, and the four wins it has achieved this year are also at home.
So this time Werder is not without a chance of winning, if a few young players hold the rhythm of the game, it is completely possible to hang the score tightly. New signing Cristiano Ronaldo's single-handed strength should not be underestimated, and he is likely to cause problems for the opponent's goalkeeper.
In addition, Werder's Italian midfielder Bizia is also an excellent performer, and his passing ability is expected to be the winning point of this game.
5. Dort Mainz will stage another classic battle in the Bundesliga to demonstrate Dort's strong home strength?
There is no doubt that this match between Dort and Mainz will repeat Dort's strong home strength. Borussia Dort's manager Jurgen Klopp will certainly give his all to continue his unbeaten run at home.
After all, in the face of the Bundesliga's all-time powerhouse, there can be no slack. Dort's defender Arcavington will also defend with all his might and limit Mainz's chances on goal.
And Mainz's desire to reverse is almost a fantasy, and the recent record in all competitions is too poor to ignore. What's more, Dort rarely misses at home against Mainz, and unless all the players are on the table, they can basically guarantee a win and leave a valuable three points. It will also be a wonderful start to another matchup in the Bundesliga.
Through the above two exciting Bundesliga matchups, we can clearly see the strong strength of Dortmund and Leipzig on the away field. Although Werder and Mainz also have their chances, there is still a long way to go to beat the strong teams.
On the one hand, this highlights the ability of the strong team to predate away from home, and on the other hand, it also exposes the weakness of the weak team's home defense. So, what tactics and personnel arrangements are behind the strong team's winning streak of away games that are worth Xi learning and studying? This may be a bigger topic in front of us.
