Must be really frustrating for Dortmund fans, they have a brilliant team but you just can’t see them overtaking Bayern any time soon and actually winning the league.
Bayern were actually in trouble earlier on in the season and it's only their amazing form since they sacked Kovac and brought in Flick, that has enabled them to get past Dortmund.
He's managed 25 league and cup games, W22 D1 L2. The 2 defeats came in his first 6 matches and since then they've won 18 and drawn 1.
Bremen were 17/10 , Frankfurt faves, i couldn't see why and felt Bremen looked the better team when i flicked over and stats then all of a sudden a few goals. right call by the bookies as ever
Far too much being read into home advantage going out the window in my opinion. While it may be true in some cases, 3 or 4 games per team is far too small a sample size to draw any conclusions. I believe in the 2nd tier in Germany the number of home wins since the return is just a couple of percent lower than pre lockdown. I’m not saying home advantage hasn’t changed at all, just that it’s too early to completely declare it gone.
Ultimately, the teams which can adapt to this wildly different situation the best will be the ones that can get a run of results together.

I don't think home advantage has totally "gone" but what is "home advantage" if it isn't having the influence of a home crowd?
Since they started to play behind closed doors, there have been just 9 home wins from 39 games. If we analyse that further and take out the top two sides when at home, Bayern and Dortmund, we see that there have been just 6 home wind from 35 (Bayern actually won at Dortmund too). So that means that 83% of games not involving the top two at home, in that period, have been draws or away wins.
It is too small a sample to say definitively but had you layed the home side in those 35 games you'd have had 29 wins and had you backed the away team that would have given you a return, at bigger odds, on 19 occasions. Those are massive percentages and it will be interesting to see how results pan out for the rest of the season both here and in the Premier League.
Akanji and Sancho both been fined by the DFL for getting home haircuts without the players or the hairdressers wearing PPE.
Sancho apparently described the fine as a Joke.
Sorry Jadon but these rules are in place for everyone's protection and if you can't follow them you get fined, not sure whats a joke about it
I assume he means that it's deemed perfectly ok by the DFL for him to go and out and play a contact sport with 22 other people (more if you're counting subs), but yet he gets a fine for getting a haircut from 1 person that took place in his own home when Germany has eased it's lockdown.

But there are rules in places to keep football going, one of the managers was suspended for a game for breaking lockdown rules and going out and getting milk or something, the hairdresser had not been checked for covid19, so why were the hairdresser or him not wearing gloves or masks for protection.

Another 4/4 home teams failing to win - away wins for Bayern (4/9) and Mainz (5/2) plus draws for Hoffenheim (5/2) and Paderborn (9/!)
Just 9 homes from 43 now of which Bayern and Dortmund have contributed a third of them
