Bundesliga 22/23: all important information

Borussia Dortmund – TSG 1899 Hoffenheim

We start our preview with the Friday night match between Borussia Dortmund and TSG Hoffenheim. On Friday at 20:30 kick-off is in the Signal-Iduna-Park.

Apart from the weak and turbulent 2:3 against Werder Bremen, BVB was able to win all competitive matches this season. 3x there was even zero. In addition to the 2nd round in the DFB Cup, this also corresponds to the 5th place in the league with 9 points and a goal difference of 7:4. In contrast to previous seasons, the defense is often compact with only a few mistakes, but there is too often a lack of penetration in the offense, for comparison: Bayern Munich has already scored 16 goals, Union Berlin 11. In addition to the strengthened defense, the direct comparison also speaks for the Borussia. From the last 4 encounters, they were able to score 10 points. In the last three meetings, both teams have scored at least 2 goals each. Overall, the encounters are very goal-rich. In 30 games, 96 goals were scored, so over 3 goals per game on average. Morey, Malen and Haller are certainly missing, Adeyemi and Dahoud are questionable.

After an average pre-season, they now want to land on a European place again. Four games later they are in 4th place in the table, the first game they lost in Gladbach with 1:3, then followed by three victories. It seems to have gained momentum. Especially the defense knew how to convince in the 3-0 in Leverkusen and the 1-0 in Augsburg and allowed only a few opposing chances. Whether Dortmund can crack this defense remains to be seen. Bebou, Bicakcic, Hübner and Pentke are missing injured.

The home-strong Dortmund have a win rate of 1.70, the Hoffenheimer one of 4.33. A dortmund win combined with over 2.5 goals could be exciting, for which there is a quota of 2.10. Since both teams were defensively compact, a victory of Dortmund with less than 4.5 goals could be tempting, for this you get a 2.40 odds.

Eintracht Frankfurt – RB Leipzig

This week’s Saturday night game starts at 18:30 at Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt. RB Leipzig will host reigning Europa League winners Eintracht Frankfurt. Both teams are behind expectations in the table, so there is a lot of pressure on both sides.

Frankfurt would like to play for the international places again after the weak league performance in the pre-season. The kick-off, however, did not go according to plan. The 1:6 against Munich was a setback, followed by two 1:1 draws against Hertha and Cologne. The first win of the season came last week in a furious 4-3 win over Werder Bremen. Now the second victory is to follow. The direct comparison speaks against this. The last four games all ended in draws. In March, they separated in Leipzig 0-0, previously three times in a row 1-1. With a total of 13 games, both teams have 3 wins. It remains to be seen whether the 11th-placed team from Frankfurt can end this draw series. Glasner is missing Toure and Buta for the game.

The guests from Leipzig want to move into the Champions League again. But after 4 games played in the league, you are only in 9th place with 5 points, so you are level on points with the hosts. Two draws at the beginning, followed by a defeat at Union and the first win on Saturday against Wolfsburg. During the week, they beat FC Teutonia Ottensen 8-0 in the first round of the cup. The defensive is particularly vulnerable. In the 4 league games they conceded at least one goal in three games, in the Supercup it was even 5. Klostermann and Poulsen are certainly missing, Gulacsi is questionable for the duel.

Despite the similar table situation and form, Leipzig has the lower win rate with 2.05, the Frankfurt Eintracht can boast a 3.50 odds. “Both teams meet” should probably be safer: Yes, as many goals are scored, especially in Frankfurt games.
