Last season the oldest club in Valencia performed traditionally and finished the Primera tournament in 12th position. Paco Lopez’s charges are not stable, but they can spoil nerves of any La Liga team. In the new tournament of the major league of Spain, the “frogs” hold the gained positions after 18 rounds. The “blue-garnet” assets have five victories and seven peaceful outcomes, which brought 22 points, which is only one point less than opponents from the TOP-10. After defeating Betis (4:3), hosts failed to cope with Villarreal in 2021 (1:2), followed by defeating Eibar (2:1) at home and sharing the tournament points with Cadiz (2:2). It is impossible not to note the third worst indicator of the team in the line of defense among the first 12 clubs. In the King’s Cup the Valencians made their way to the 1/8 finals, knocking out Rising Murcia (5:0), Portugal (2:1) and Fuenlabrada (2:1) along the way. In the infirmary of the Campania team are Dukure and Vukcevic, who has a back injury.
In contrast to their today’s rival, Borussia from Dortmund held the starting segment of the championship quite confidently, imposing the fight on competitors for the championship title. Problems overtook the “bumblebees” already at the end of the group stage of the Champions League, they were of a local nature, but this did not save Lucien Favre from retirement. Leaving an assistant Swiss specialist at the helm of the club, the management of Borussia did not get the Hans-Dieter Flick effect, at least not yet. By the start of the 18th round, bumblebees are on the fourth line in the table and are already 10 points behind the leader of Bavaria. Such a handicap leaves a minimum of chances for a championship. In the last round Borussia suffered a second defeat under the leadership of Edin Terzic. This time the Bumblebees lost 1:2 to Bayer, allowing the competitor to break away. Thus, of the six matches of Trezic at the helm of Borussia, they managed to win only three and with each round the chances that the bumblebees will still be able to recover and join the championship race are fading.
