Going through his worst moment of the season, Borussia Dortmund closes this Monday, February 18, the twenty-second round of the German Championship version 2018/2019. Leader of the tournament, the team will face the Nuremberg, Lantern of the Bundesliga. The match will be held at the Max Morlock stadium in Nuremberg. The start is scheduled for 16:30 (Brasília time).
Nuremberg
The most recent Nuremberg victory in an official match took place on September 29 of last year. At home, the team scored 3 to 0 at Fortuna Dusseldorf. Since then, there have been 17 more meetings, which have earned points in draws. And it was just. In the other 15 opportunities the team left the field defeated.That meant the elimination in the Cup of Germany against Hamburg, which is in the Second Division, and the fall to last position in the Bundesliga. With 12 points (two wins, six draws and 13 losses), the Nuremberg started the twenty-second round six points behind Augsburg, 15th placed and first out of the sticking region.With only 13 matches to go, the situation is not irreversible, but not even Nuremberg’s home performance is capable of raising the hopes of their fans. In that respect, the team is not the flashlight, but it is the second worst in the German Championship. Of the 33 points that played in his stadium, he won ten (two wins, four draws and five losses) having scored 11 goals and conceded 15.For Monday’s meeting, coach Boris Schommers has some limitations to set the team to put on the field. They are in the care of the medical department the defender Georg Margreitter (20 matches in season 2018/2019 of the German Championship, two goals); midfielders Kevin Goden (five games, no goal) and Edgar Salli (two games, no goal); and striker Vura (18 games, one goal).

Borussia Dortmund
Just over a week after being eliminated at home from the German Cup by Werder Bremen, Borussia Dortmund experienced a similar feeling. On Wednesday, February 13, in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Champions League of Europe, took 3 to 0 of Tottenham in London.It was not a elimination, but almost. Dortmund still has a chance to reverse the situation in the return game, which is scheduled for March 5 at Signal Iduna Park. But this, of course, is highly improbable.Thus, after four unbeaten games (three draws and one defeat), his worst run of the season, Auringro needs to return to his focus to try to retain the leadership of the German Championship, where he still has a great chance of winning.Despite the stumbling, the Bundesliga began the dispute of the twenty-second round with five points more than Bayern Munich, runner-up. He scored 50 points (15 wins, 5 draws and a loss) along his walk with the best attack of the tournament (54 goals) and the third best defense (23 goals).As a visitor, presents the second best campaign. Of the 30 points played out of their dominions, he collected 21 (six wins, three draws and one loss) having scored 17 goals and suffered eight. It is the best visitor defense of the tournament.For the meeting in Nuremberg, coach Lucien Favre will most likely have to turn around again without one of his top players. The midfielder Marco Reus (19 matches in the 2018/2019 edition of the German Championship, 12 goals) follows the care of the medical department. It should not be the only casualty. Also in the ward are defenders Manuel Akanji (13 matches, one goal) and Lukasz Piszcek (17 matches, one goal); Julian Weigl (eight games, one goal); and striker Paco Alcacer (16 games, 12 goals).

What is the shape of the teams in the last 5 games?
Nurnberg
Last result: 0-2 vs Hannover
Form: L L D L L
Unbalanced match in Bundesliga, between Borussia Dortmund leader and last ranked FC Nurnberg. After 21 stages, the two teams are already divided by 38 points. The hosts have the weakest attack and the third weakest defensive. However, at the end of this stage, they may be the last in both chapters – they have suffered a defeat hard to digest and are likely to repeat the situation. The team then prepared by Kollner gave up 0-7 at the end of a match in which they also entered two reserves.
Nurnberg has only one point in the last eight stages. A week ago he had no chance with Hannover, especially since he remained in inferiority as early as the 11th minute. The kid Simon Rhein directly saw a red card and the white-red gave 0-2. The club’s leadership has not resisted and changed the lines – coach Michael Kollner and sports director Andreas Bornemann have been dismissed. In their place were named Boris Schommers and Marek Mintal. They will have a start of fire!
Borussia Dortmund
Last result: 0-3 vs Tottenham
Form: L D L D W
Borussia Dortmund trembles after Bayern approached only two points. BVB risks losing the first place if it does not recover quickly. He already has four matches in a row without victory in all competitions and has entered a crisis that no one expected. In the championship he drew with Frankfurt (1-1) and Hoffenheim (3-3), and from the German Cup was eliminated to penalties by Werder Bremen (3-3). On Wednesday he received another shot, which is probably synonymous with eliminating from the optimal UEFA Champions League. Borussia lost 0-3 away with Tottenham. It’s hard to believe he can turn the fate of his home-based qualification.
Now he has the chance to recover, against the weakest team in the Bundesliga. Borussia’s 18-year-old midfielder, Jadon Sancho, scored more than did Nurnberg’s best markers. Hanno Behrens and Mikael Ishak have three staged goals. Marco Reus is the BVB’s top scorer – he scored 13 times. Now it is injured and gives them emotions to the yellow-black fans. In the last three games in which Reus missed Dortmund he did not win (1 draw and 2 defeats).
