Is the race for the championship finally decided or do the Dortmund still believe in a sensational turnaround? Two games to go before the end of the season, at least everything indicates that FC Bayern will win the cup for the seventh time in succession, as the team of Niko Kovac in the matches in Leipzig and in the coming week at home against Eintracht Frankfurt a four-point – Playful is indeed unlikely. Even if the current leader does the black and yellow the favor and allows two slip-ups, the BVB would have to do their own homework, which could turn out to be enormously difficult, especially with Fortuna Dusseldorf and Borussia Mönchengladbach two unpleasant opponents waiting for the Favre Elf , In the duel of the 33rd match day between Dortmund and Dusseldorf, the home side are according to the odds still clear favorite.
Dortmund vs Dusseldorf Football Betting Prediction
Nonetheless, the table second should be warned, because the first leg just before Christmas won the Rhinelander in front of a home crowd not undeserved with 2: 1. In addition, the surprisingly strong climber since then celebrated exactly as many victories as the title aspirant (nine) and can also play without any pressure. For the host, however, speaks the outstanding home record. Two weeks ago Westphalia lost in the Revier derby against Schalke in the 16th attempt this season for the first time in front of their own fans and accordingly, of course, insist on a compensation in the last home game. For this reason, we prefer Dortmund vs Dusseldorf a tip in favor of Borussia and relate here in particular to the very strong first half, which delivered Mario Götze and Co. in the previous week in Bremen.
Dortmund – Statistics & Current Form
“He’s a great player, of course, but when you talk about ‘skills,’ I’ll give you a two” – that’s what Christian Pulisic said during the week, when he was asked to rate his (still) colleague Marco Reus. Whether the Dortmund season after 34 matchdays in the school notation system earns a “one” or a “two” and thus be classified either in the very good or in the good category, probably decides only on the remaining two matchdays. In view of the fact that the black and yellow in the current season in the meantime were ahead with nine points and Bayern have long since the consistency of past years put on the day, prevails around the Borsigplatz the general opinion that the first championship since Playfully freaked out in 2012. On the other hand, those responsible point to the outstanding points account, which can be increased to 76 in the upcoming two matches. This yield would be the third best season ever played by Borussia in their Bundesliga history. It is also possible that many followers are disappointed with the latest results, which put the assessment of the past ten months too badly. Nobody can blame them, because of only two wins from the last five games and the bitter defeats against FC Bayern (0: 5) and FC Schalke (2: 4) and the unnecessary 2: 2 from the previous week in Bremen, playful BVB probably the last chance for the title.
With four points behind and two remaining games, Lucien Favre’s side have lost their return to the top of the table. What remains is the hope for two Bayern-slip and six counters from their own encounters. At least in the home game of Dortmund against Dusseldorf, the benefits according to the odds are clearly in the home side. The significant role of favorites is primarily due to the strong home record of the Black and Yellow, because with 41 points in the Signal Iduna Park Ballspielverein despite the very first home defeat in the derby against Royal Blue continues to be the best Bundesliga team in front of home crowd.
“Sometimes the perception is a bit too negative and does not necessarily correlate with the real situation. We want to finish at home now with a win and once again form a unity with our fans. ” – Michael Zorc
Also positive is the high number of goals scored. In the previous 16 games, the Westphalia always met at least twice. For a whole season, this succeeded in the domestic green no other team. In total, Alcacer and Co. come up with 49 goals, which are already the third most of the club’s history. Furthermore, because BVB is aiming for a conciliatory conclusion in the old Westfalenstadion and after all has won four of their most recent five home games, it is obvious that they are predicting the hosts between Dortmund and Dusseldorf despite the obvious pressure situation.
Ashraf Hakimi will continue to be injured due to injury. Marco Reus and Marius Wolf are missing because of their red cards from the Schalke derby. Lukasz Piszczek, meanwhile, is about to make his comeback in the starting eleven. The battered Abdou Diallo would have to give way to the Polish veteran. Whether whirlwind Jadon Sancho can participate, is currently still questionable. The talented Englishman was unable to practice during the week and would of course be a bitter loss to Borussia’s offensive play, which, despite all criticism, has scored at least two goals in six of their last seven Bundesliga games and defensively revealed deficits.
Expected formation of Dortmund:
↳ Bürki – Piszczek, Weigl, Akanji, Guerreiro – Witsel, Delaney – C. Pulisic, M. Götze, Sancho (Bruun Larsen) – Paco Alcacer
Last matches from Dortmund:

Dusseldorf – Statistics & Current Form
In Düsseldorf, plans for the coming season are already in full swing. That the Rhenish newcomer can already calculate for several weeks for the second Bundesliga season in a row, is definitely a positive surprise, because in the summer was still the team of coach Friedhelm Funkel as a relegation candidate number one. Even after a very good first half of the season, some experts predicted a crash after the winter break, but despite the scandal surrounding the initially failed contract extension of the experienced success coach, who finally cost Robert Schäfer the job, the Fortuna remained constant in theirs Achievements and will probably speak in the post-analysis of an almost perfect playing time.
However, anyone who thinks that the Düsseldorfer will be relaxing on the last two matchdays should be mistaken. On the one hand, one would like to maintain the current tenth place in the classification and on the other national continue to cause a stir. The latter succeeded the Flingeranern often, for example in the first leg against Dortmund (2: 1), the 4: 0 at Schalke, the 3: 3 at Bayern or 1: 1 in Leipzig.
“We want to stay tenth. That would be the icing on the cake for this great season. ” – Friedhelm Funkel
Although the Fortuna scored more points (24) than the foreigner (17) in front of their own fans, Dodi Lukebakio and colleagues not only once confirmed that they could be a very uncomfortable guest to record. At the same time, however, it should be remembered that Michael Rensing conceded ten goals in the box of the climber alone in the recent four appearances. In total, there were 34 goals received on opposing seats. Only four goalkeepers had to fish the game more often from the net. In addition, because the Rhinelanders have always had to concede at least one goal in the past seven matches before half-time, we have deliberately decided between Dortmund and Dusseldorf for a tip that already includes the first round.
With the exception of Contento and Zimmer, which played no role at all, all players should be available. Coach Friedhelm Funkel, who during the week himself talked about continuing his coaching career in another capacity with his current employer, has many options, especially offensive. There Lukebakio threatens again only the place on the bench and that despite the fact that he leads the internal scorer list together with his compatriot Benito Raman (ten goals each).
Expected formation of Dusseldorf:
↳ Rensing – M. Zimmermann, Ayhan, Hoffmann, Suttner – Bodzek, Stoeger – Lukebakio (Karaman), Kownacki – Hennings, Raman
Last matches from Dusseldorf:
⚽️ 05.05.2019 – Freiburg vs Dusseldorf 1: 1 (Bundesliga)
⚽️ 27.04.2019 – Dusseldorf vs Werder Bremen 4: 1 (Bundesliga)
⚽️ 20.04.2019 – Mainz vs usseldorf 3: 1 (Bundesliga)
⚽️ 14.04.2019 – Dusseldorf vs Bayern 1: 4 (Bundesliga)
⚽️ 06.04.2019 – Hertha Vs. Dusseldorf 1: 2 (Bundesliga)
