Last season Black and White already finished in 17th, penultimate place. Accordingly, now they had to play already at the level of the second Portuguese football division for sporting reasons. Saved by the fact that Vitoria Setubal, who finished one step higher in Primeira, faced financial problems. This club did not provide evidence that it did not have tax debts and was sent already to the 3rd league. Its license went to Portimonense, but so far it looks like the agony has been extended for a year. They got 6 defeats in 9 matches, 7 points and the same second to last place. However, in the last home match black-and-white managed to take the victory, minimally beating Nacional.
Borussia as a whole looked pretty solid at the start of the season and withstood the fight on two fronts, but made a number of local failures, for which Lucien Favre was not forgiven. The 1:5 defeat against Stuttgart in the 11th round forced the management to make personnel changes, before that the Bumblebees lost 1:2 to Cologne and in general they lost their integrity, so the resignation looks quite natural. At the moment Borussia is fourth in the table with 22 points in the asset, being behind the leader of Bayern by six points. In the last round the team was led by Edin Terzich, who was close to failure. Werder Bremen fought on their field and held a draw until the 78th minute. Nevertheless, the resistance of the musicians was broken in the end of the meeting and Borussia won an important victory with a score of 2:1, thanks to which they managed to keep the fourth line, as well as put an end to a series of three matches without victories.
