Probably nobody doubts that normally Dortmund should win this game easily, but I think some people are stuck in the past when Dortmund played more dominantly and had amazing strikers.
There is a simple number that proves that Dortmund is by far not winning most of their games. 19 games have been played, they won 10 and did not win 9.
Without getting out the calculator, this says they are winning about 50% of their games and that is definitely not good enough.
For sure the next game against Heidenheim and all other coming games will be not easy for Dortmund if they would be have some little chance to catch up to the other teams.
The numbers of only have a just 50% winning rate is not the best compared to Leverkusen and Bayern Munich.
And let me remind you how the first game against Heidenheim in the Signal Iduna Park ended: 2-2.
There is only 1 option for Dortmund tomorrow and they have to win that match.
I guess that they will win in Heidenheim and i also placed my bet already on them.
But you can see how the bookmakers estimate the odds for Borussia Dortmund to win that game. They give Borussia Dortmund the edge over Heidenheim, but a win is still valued at around 2.0. It is a little bit less than that, but at first you would think that Dortmund is the huge favorite and the odds would be expected to be lower than that. But I agree as there have been a couple of games now in which Heidenheim was not that bad and Dortmund has been up and down for a long time.
