Current form
After a short winter break, Borussia played two matches in which they did not score a single point. The 0:1 defeat to Bayern can be considered an asset, but in that match the opponent simply did not convert a lot of chances. With Wolfsburg, luck has already evaporated, as a result, a crushing defeat with a score of 1:5 on the road. The chances of a place in the Eurocup zone are now not so bright - the gap from the top 6 is four points. Gerardo Seoane charges play too cautiously, relying solely on defense and counterattacks. Such football in matches against powerfully and boldly attacking opponents does not bring success, especially when you have to recoup, all the original tactical schemes collapse.
