Borussia Dortmund VS Hertha BSC GOAL 4 - 1 - WIN

Dortmund's performance against Hertha was very composed. They performed very well. Hertha Berlin was a good enough team. However, Dortmund did not make any mistakes in this match. It seems their aim is to win the title this season. Dortmund players played very well in the whole match against Hertha. Despite Hertha's players attacking a lot, they could not break Dortmund's defense. But Dortmund managed to score 4 goals easily. If Dortmund continues to perform like this, the chances of winning the title will increase.

Goals from Karim Adeyemi and Donyell Malen in the first half, a Marco Reus free-kick, and Julian Brandt's close-range finish in the second half helped Dortmund extend their winning streak in the Bundesliga to six. Winning Hertha Berlin puts Dortmund on par with Bayern Munich at the top of the table .

The Union Berlin team is not in good form at the moment. It is now very difficult for them to perform consistently well. Especially with the way they performed against Schalke unless they improve, they won't be able to top the table. In order to top the points table they will definitely need to come up with a change in overall gameplay. But the Bayern Munich team is also a bit off from right now. And so I guess we'll see Dortmund at the top of the table in a few days. The Dortmund team is consistently playing well. And the team is now very strong.

Union was doing what it can do against schalke but surprisingly schalke can counter all of attacks that were coming from dortmund. Schalke was also changing its strategy to be fully defensive against dortmund. It's disappointing for berlin's fans caused by it was not able making goal against schalke which was at the bottom of standing right now. Berlin, dortmund and bayern have same points at this moment. It's very hard to know which team that will be starting to lead competition for now.

I can hope that if berlin will be taking a trophy for this season.

Karim Adeyemi is reported to have suffered an injury when Dortmund managed to win with a big score over their opponent Hertha Berlin last week. This makes Dortmund feel a little worried about his current attack line, we know Adeyemi's role this season is fantastic and often endangers the opponent's defense with his running speed, dribbling the ball, and always ending with a very good finish. He will miss the two Bundesliga matches and is a doubt for the UCL second leg against Chelsea on March 7.

As Bayern Munich dropped points in their last match. So I thought Union Berlin would get full points against Schalke. And the points will go to the top of the table. Because Schalke is one of the weakest teams in the Bundesliga this season. But the performance of Berlin's players in this match was very bad. They played defensively against the likes of Schalke.

Union Berlin always plays very defensively, a tleast most of the time. That is their style. They stand very deep and defend well. When they see a chance towards the goal they try to take it.
And in this game Schalke was also very defensive. That is why both teams waited for their chance.
Union Berlin played more towards the goal from minute 75. But that was too late and so the game ended without goals.

I haven't watched the Bundesliga standing look like this since long time, knowing that Union Berlin could have taken the lead if they had won against Schalke. Unfortunately, Schalke forced them to an unexpected draw. The competitiveness in any league is fascinating and it can help draw the attention to this league. I hope we see similar standing at the end of the season, although I believe other teams are still far from Bayern Munich with regard to finance and performance.

It's a shame that Union Berlin failed to win against Schalke and only ended with a 0-0 draw. Meanwhile, Dortmund they managed to beat Hertha Berlin with a landslide score of 4-1 and made them secure 3 full points in the match. But if you talk about Bayern Munich, they are still superior above everything, it's just that if they are not aware of the performance of their rival teams, they will start to shift next week. I think Julian Nagelsmann must immediately find a way to anticipate this and achieve victory with Bayern Munich.

Union Berlin generally continues with this interesting statistic this year. They have a chance to lead, but they are not taking advantage of it. They drew 0-0 with Schalke and could not organize much attack in the match. It's like they tried to keep Bayern Munich in the lead. Currently, Bayern continues to lead the league with a big difference.

As I said in a previous post, the effect of fatigue can make Union Berlin's performance decrease. and yes, Union Berlin was unable to maximize the momentum to subvert its opponent. whereas, Schalke is not a strong and tough opponent for Berlin. if Berlin wins over Schalke, then Union Berlin shifts the leader of the standings. it's a shame, Urs Fischer's troop squad had to be willing to share one point with the opposing team in that match.

Next, Berlin has a tough match which will host Ajax at their own turf. after that, Union Berlin will play a crucial match at the Allian Arena, Bayern Munich's headquarters. and it looks like, most likely, Union Berlin will suffer a drop in form. even so, the Bayern Munich vs Union Berlin match will be an important match for both teams. because, both Munich and Union Berlin, have the same points.

On the other hand, Dortmund has a big chance to occupy the top of the standings if they are able to overthrow Hoffenheim this week. Well, isn't it interesting because now the competition in the Bundesliga feels more competitive.

I would usually agree with you regarding Union Berlin vs. Schalke, but don't forget that Schalke broke an old Bundesliga record. They played 0 - 0 four times in a row. It was not completely unexpected that Union Berlin would have a very hard time to score against them. Opponents where Berlin has to be creative and make the game are harder to play for them. They prefer a back and forth game where they can also use their speed to crack the defense. That was not the case against Schalke.

I don't expect fatigue to become an issue. Union Berlin has nothing to lose, they are living their dream as a club that nobody had on their list a while ago. They are on fire and I think they will stay among the top four in the Bundesliga and qualify for the champions league. I don't know whether they can compete for the title, but we will now see what they are up to against Bayern first.

I actually thought that Union Berlin will grab the three points from this meeting with Schalke but I was disappointed to see the match ending in goaless draw. but that is not a bad results all together having one point is better than losing all the points. Union Berlin is having a very decent season with Dortmund I am hopeful that this season either Dortmund or union Berlin may likely outsmart Bayern Munich and become the champions of the German Bundesliga when Bayern Munich will be battling with their Champions League struggles

I won't blame Union Berlin for the lost against Schalke, their are sometimes for failure in football. Union Berlin.  Union Berlin has really tried this season to be among top teams making Bundesliga very interesting.   Union Berlin is strong enough of defeating Schalke,  but I think Schalke is just lucky playing draw with Union Berlin.

Looking at how it was 4 in a row draws for Schakle, I could say that they are doing just a "bit" better, not doing a lot better but they got 4 points out of last 4 games, considering they got 9 points in 17 games before that, we could say that they are doing nearly double better in points compared to their old average.

This is why this game wasn't really shocking to me, they realized that winning games is not something they can do, and they park the bus very careful and very talentedly and try to score but don't care about that part as long as they don't concede. Which is why this game result wasn't shocking, because they have shown us this before.

It seems that Schalke really doesn't want to take too many risks to always attack against Union Berlin and it has proven that they are very solid in terms of defense which makes them at least secure 1 additional point. Union Berlin seemed to have lost its mind and really didn't know what to do at that moment. However, a very good performance was also shown by Schalke goalkeeper Ralf Fahrmaan who managed to make 4 saves in that match.

It is certain that now they will not be strengthened by Adayemi who is rumored to be recovering for approximately 3 weeks for the hamstring injury he suffered against Hertha.
This is a clear loss because in addition to Adayemi's Champions League performance so far it has been very good and by losing Dortmund's midfield it will obviously falter a bit because he is indeed one of the players who is a spirit there to support Dortmund's midfield.

As I said before, I wouldn't be surprised if Union Berlin wasn't able to take advantage of the momentum to take full points against Schalke. referring to the previous matches, Union Berlin has a series of matches that are quite dense. in the end, they had difficulty maintaining consistency due to fatigue.

Next, Union Berlin has a tough match which will visit the Allianz Arena, home to Munich. but before that, Berlin will host Ajax at their own base. most likely, Berlin will find it difficult to return to maintain their consistency. and if Berlin finally struggles when facing the match against Ajax, IMO, Union Berlin will experience a decrease in performance in the following matches.

Union Berlin seems to have decided to play it safe, the most important thing is that they don't lose. and that keeps their points to at least be safe in the top 4 of the standings.
they had few chances to create, it was clear that their game was not as usual, even having difficulty scoring goals against teams who are at the bottom of the standings.
it looks like Union Berlin will be very focused on the match against Ajax in the second leg of the Europa League. Union Berlin managed to hold on to a draw in the first leg at home to Ajax. I'm sure they will do better at home.

So far Union Berlin has performed very well and you still the team is on the top of the table they can have the chance to even be the first team in the german league while other teams like Dortmund and Bayern Munich have the same situation and fight for the cup but I think Union Berlin still doesn't have enough potential for it if you compare this teams with Dortmund and Bayern Munich and I won't be surprised if I see Dortmund being on the top of the table soon because of the games I saw from this team.

Union Berlin really doesn't know how to make good use of the situation and conditions, because if Union Berlin wins even if only with a score of 1-0, then of course that is enough for Union Berlin to be at the top of the Bundesliga standings at this time.
But unfortunately, Union Berlin really made a deep disappointment because Union Berlin couldn't beat Schalke. In fact, Union Berlin was playing at home, but this factor did not make Union Berlin have the luck to win.

Karim Adeyemi did a great job at the start of the game but that sudden injury led Adeyemi out Marco Reus is quick to think and had led the team to victory, Hertha Berlin really never stood a chance, and it was a dominating win for Dortmund when Adeyemi got injured and Hertha managed to score their 1st goal I really thought that Hertha will be getting a tie but Marco Reus and Julian Brandt have finish Hertha from their track and landed 4 goals for this game,

Karim Adeyemi is reported to have suffered an injury when Dortmund managed to win with a big score over their opponent Hertha Berlin last week. This makes Dortmund feel a little worried about his current attack line, we know Adeyemi's role this season is fantastic and often endangers the opponent's defense with his running speed, dribbling the ball, and always ending with a very good finish. He will miss the two Bundesliga matches and is a doubt for the UCL second leg against Chelsea on March 7.

Well, this is really unfortunate the game from Hertha was a dominating game for Dortmund but in the middle of the 1st half when Adeyemi was passing the ball he was already holding on to his Thigh then kicking the ball provided more damage to Adeyemi it was really a bummer for Adeyemi to get injured like that right now I am seeing his name in the list of injuries along Julien Duranville, Youssoufa Moukoko, Abdoulaye Kamara, and Mateu Morey Karim Adeyemi had a Hamstring injury and could be back on mid March,

Union Berlin played more towards the goal from minute 75. But that was too late and so the game ended without goals.

I don't know why people feel disappointed with Union Berlin. It is not easy to go five matches unbeaten and finally you got a draw not even a loss and people keep complaining that in Berlin was supposed to win the match. Is it that easy for everyone to be winning matches. To the best of my knowledge Union Berlin has really tried for this season and they will keep up that way by next season they will do well in the Champions League and also be more advanced in German Bundesliga and may likely be winners in the next 2 to 3 Seasons if they remain consistent

They apply their defensive style of play well in the match.  Since they're in the leadership race right now, it looks like they've started playing more defensively in order to concede fewer goals.  Union Berlin may have made a mistake against Schalke.  If they had played offensively, maybe they could have been more effective and scored.  Because they didn't do that, they lost their chance to lead.

Union Berlin's playing style is usually defensive and we can't say if that's something bad because so far they got good results from it, they try to avoid giving space to the forwards of the team and by marking the key players they have their own tactic maybe this tactic won't show us an interesting game but still they are on the second position of the table regarding the game against Schalke they made mistake and in football you will pay for every single mistake you make.

performance instability still occurs in the Union Berlin squad. Even though the opponent they faced in that match was a team ranked lower in the standings but what happened on the Union Berlin field had difficulty scoring goals even though several opportunities were quite good but failed to turn them into goals. A draw is the final result in that match.

that's the game I'm saying is they wasted a good chance to get full points. in the upcoming match Union Berlin will travel to the Allianz Arena stadium to face bayern munich, I think Union Berlin will find it very difficult to beat Bayern Munich.

The main criticism is that they had a great chance to reach place 1. But they did not use this chance. So it is absolutely legitimate to criticise that.
But you are absolutely right and I think I understand what you mean. At the beginning of the season nobody expected Union Berlin to be where they are now. We have to acknowledge that and pay respect to the whole team.

[Distraction]

Leverkusen are slowly returning to the point where they started now and this is really dangerous for them truthfully.

Maybe they are in safe distance to the relegation area but still things can get really problematic for them. It depends on whether they stop this bad form at once. Xabi Alonso still did a good work at first despite not being a much experienced manager. Of course this team will have ups and downs in the rest of the season. We don't see it for the first time for them in this season. But they still need to work on the weak sides of their game plan to strengthen them. Especially in defense I mean.
