Bundesliga Round 32 Preview: Will Bayern Munich make mistakes again? Dortmund should be good at home.
The 32nd round of the Bundesliga continues on May 13th. Bayern Munich has made mistakes in the Bundesliga this season, giving Borussia Dortmund a chance to end Bayern’s 10-year reign. However, as defending champions, Bayern only need to compete for one championship now, and the probability of making mistakes is too low. Although Dortmund's recent away performance has not been good, their home performance throughout the season has been very dominant. Facing a Mönchengladbach team that has nothing more to gain this season, the Yellow and Blacks may play very well.
Bayern Munich vs Schalke 04 - Only Bundesliga? Too Easy for Bayern
Since taking up the position of head coach at Bayern, Thomas Tuchel has had a difficult time. He not only failed to escape Manchester City's attack in the Champions League but also has had a difficult time retaining the top spot in the Bundesliga. The suspense of this season's Bundesliga championship is the biggest in the past 10 seasons. Although the challenge to Bayern's dominance is undoubtedly not a happy thing for Bayern fans, for football fans all over the world who have found the Bundesliga boring due to Bayern's superiority, they may once again turn their attention to the league.
In the last match against promoted team Werder Bremen, Bayern almost shared the field with their opponents throughout the game and only managed to win due to their superior star power. Bayern's two-goal lead was only established in the 72nd minute of the match. Although they wanted to end the match in peace after that, the opponents pulled back a goal in the very interesting 87th minute. With injury time included, the match still had at least five minutes left. Given Bayern's current form this season, fans cannot be completely reassured. Fortunately, the defending champions held on to the pressure.
Schalke 04, a veteran of the Bundesliga, does not want to be relegated to the Bundesliga after just one season back. They have shown a strong desire to survive since February and have only lost three out of their last 14 league matches. If they didn’t lose too often in the first half of the season, Schalke would not have escaped the relegation zone until round 31st. In the last match against mid-table team Mainz, Schalke took the lead twice in regular time but was pegged back twice. They scored the winning goal only in the 10th minute of stoppage time in the second half. The unexpected surge in Mainz's victory desire for next season's European qualification surprised Schalke.
Currently, Bayern has gradually walked out of the pain of being eliminated from the Champions League. With only domestic league matches to play, the winning probability of other Bundesliga teams are not too high. In this match, Bayern is expected to beat Schalke 2-0 and further solidify their lead in the Bundesliga.
Borussia Dortmund vs Borussia Mönchengladbach - Another high-scoring battle?
Dortmund was eliminated by Chelsea in the round of 16 of the Champions League. Before their elimination from the Champions League, Dortmund had won five away games in a row in the Bundesliga, but after their elimination, their away record was only three draws and three losses. This fact make fans very confused. Could it be that without the motivation of the Champions League, Dortmund is not interested in competing for the Bundesliga championship? Bayern's behavior of allowing their opponents to win the league has been very obvious. In the last round, Dortmund played at home against Wolfsburg, who were fighting for next season's European qualification. Dortmund did not give their opponents any chance and eventually won by a six-goal margin. Hopefully, this will make Bayern feel the pressure.
Mönchengladbach's chances of qualifying for next season's European competition are already very slim, and they cannot be relegated to the second division. So the players are very relaxed. In the last match against Bochum, who were fighting to avoid relegation, Mönchengladbach only wanted a thrilling game. The two sides attacked each other for the whole game, and they had a total of 40 shots. However, Borussia MG did not pursue the quality of the shots and only scored two goals. Fortunately, their opponents had an even poorer quality of attack, and Mönchengladbach won their first victory in four rounds of the league. Mönchengladbach is unlikely to pay too much attention to defense in match against Dortmund either.
Both teams have scored six goals combined in any one of their last two encounters, and each team has won once. Dortmund has only lost one game at home in various competitions this season. In this match against Mönchengladbach, it is believed that the Yellow and Blacks will fully release their attacking power and win 4-1
