Borussia has a season in the Bundesliga at a high level. Marco Rose’s team is second in the table and does not let Bayern go. At the moment, the gap between the main contenders for the championship title is four points, which cannot be called significant. At the same time, the bumblebees have certain problems. In the last round they lost 1:2 to Leipzig and this defeat was the second in a row. Few days earlier Borussia lost 1:3 to Ajax in the Champions League. The absence of Erling Holland, Giovanni Reina and Rafael Guerreiro is a big hit for the Dortmund team.
After Marcelinho took over the leadership of Athletic in January of this year, there have been no major changes in the team and the management is focusing on its own pupils. At the beginning of the year, the team traditionally delighted with performances in the Spanish Cup, followed by the equator of La Liga, which is also familiar to the fans. After 12 rounds of the current championship, the Basques have four victories and six peaceful outcomes, which brought 18 points and the eighth position in the standings. The indicators of the team in attack looks very modest, which differed less than once per match, but the second best result in terms of the quality of defense should be noted. After the success in the duel with Villarreal (2:1), the Lions shared the tournament points twice with Espanyol (1:1) and Real Sociedad (1:1). In the last round the red-whites lost to Cadiz at home (0:1). Today Bershish, Villaribe, Vivian and Nolascoain, who has an ankle injury, will not be able to enter the field.
