Jurgen Kohler insists Borussia Dortmund are favourites to win Bundesliga
Former German international Jurgen Kohler has labelled current Bundesliga champions Borussia Dortmund as favourites to win the Bundesliga at the end of the season. The former defender claimed that Bayern have certainly lost ground
and the current German champions could well retain their title.
Die Borussen are currently top of the table with 29 points from the 14 games played and have won nine games after a slow start to the campaign. They downed Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena last month and proved their dominance
yet again against DFB-Cup winners Schalke last week.
Kohler stated that Bayern started the season very well and were the favourite team to win the league but their recent form has been far from impressive as they lost two consecutive games against Dortmund and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/1-FSV-Mainz-05-c38166. He admitted
that Dortmund have so far been brilliant against the best teams in the league and will definitely end at the top of the table.
“From the impression of these games [that Bayern lost] I'm sure that BVB will end this season ahead of Bayern,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
The player who has played for both Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund in the past insisted that Borussia Dortmund has the momentum on its side and their elimination from Europe will definitely help them in a big way domestically.
He said that the Bavarian side’s defence has been poor in the last few matches and the performance from Holger Badstuber and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-Van-Buyten-c10095 against FSV Mainz last week was full of blunders.
He added that Bayern will have to sign a good central defender in the January transfer window if they want to fight for the honours in this campaign.
“What http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-c9879 van Buyten and Holger Badstuber delivered in defence was, not only in Mainz, anything but confident,” he concluded.
Borussia Dortmund will face Borussia Monchengladbach at the Borussia Park on Saturday whereas Bayern Munich will take on Werder Bremen at the Allianz Arena as both side fight for the top spot. In the other games Schalke host FC
Augsburg whereas Stuttgart will take on FC Koln.
