An encounter between Bayern and Borussia Dortmund will be the second seminal match of the German Cup. Both German teams have been eliminated from the Champions League, therefore they may concentrate on domestic tournaments. Whereas, Bayern will most likely win in Bundesliga, and for Borussia Dortmund the German Cup is basically the only opportunity to receive at least some trophy this season.
Bayern have gotten into a losing streak. At first, the team could have passed Real in the Champions League quarterfinal and after that it tied twice in Bundesliga: with Bayer and Mainz after that. Despite all that, Bayern have kept the leading position in Bundesliga. The handicap between the Munich team and Leipzig, which are on the second position in the table, is eight points four rounds prior to the end of the championship.
The main thing for Borussia right now is the third spot in Bundesliga, which gives the right to enter the Champions League group stage directly. And it would be great to win the German Cup as well. The only problem is Bayern, which stand on the way to the second best trophy, plus Borussia’s not the best away performance. Borussia Dortmund have had away matches within Bundesliga, in which they managed to win in only five matches.
After a series of misfortunes, Bayern will put maximum effort to get satisfaction. i.e, defeat Borussia Dortmund in the German Cup semifinal. Bayern play powerfully in domestic matches, while the Bumblebees do not look so good away.
Prediction for the match: Bayern to win.
