They started the season not so optimally. Even in matches where they should have won, it turned out to be a draw, or sometimes a loss. Meanwhile, currently, the competition in the Bundesliga is starting to get quite interesting. It's not just the dominance of Bayern and Dortmund like in the past. So, if they become calmer and relaxed just like that, it won't be enough to have a chance of getting into the top standings. They should really learn from Bayern's defeat yesterday so that their players don't rush too much in each match which actually has an impact that cannot be optimal.
It's very natural that they started this season less than optimally because their star players have been sold, and of course they need to adapt again. This is what makes me confused about a team like Dortmund, they don't seem serious about competing for the Bundesliga trophy, just look at all their star players every year being sold. How can we compete with Byaen Munich if it continues like this?
Luckily, we now have another team that is capable of being a tough competitor for Bayern Munich to win the trophy this season, namely Leverkusen, making the Bundesliga even more interesting and competitive. I don't think Dortmund will be a big competitor this season, they are only chasing the UCL league slot. But in the Dortmund match against Mönchengladbach I will bet on Dortmund winning.
Borrussia Dortmund have been more of a business club than a competitive club in the Bundesliga. They're big bottlers, I'm slightly vexed at them because they couldn't utilize the chance they had honestly towards winning the league last season. They hurt the fans and those who had high expectations they'll win it.
I highly doubt they'll lose against Borrussia Monchengladbach, they have to prepare well, so as they will go into the game against Ac Milan in the right state of mind.
Asides Bayern Munich, we've seen RB Leipzig competing well for the league. Xabi Alonso since his appointment last season has sent a strong information about how much of a good manager he's transformed after going around the top clubs in all of European footbal.
