German football: Mainz keeps losing points in competitions, while Dort is in a difficult situation.
Everton vs Fulham Bundesliga: Borussia Dortmund vs Mainz 23-12-030 On Wednesday, Borussia Dortmund have had a poor run of late, with seven draws and three defeats, and are in 5th place. Defeats in three league games dropped Dortmund out of the last four. Stuttgart and Borussia Dortmund are already five points apart, and although Dortmund will be easier in the next game, no team will want to leave the impression of defeat during the Christmas holiday as winter approaches. Borussia Dortmund have a poor record in the last five league games, with three draws and two defeats. In the last round, they held Augsburg to a 1-1 draw to secure two draws.
In the Champions League game against Paris Saint-Germain, Borussia Dortmund's core players looked very tired. While they still had a slight advantage and more chances to score, Augsburg got on the scoresheet in the game. Augsburg snatched the ball from Borussia Dortmund on 23 minutes and Demirovic's goal gave Augsburg a one-goal victory. Despite Dortmund's struggles to catch up, it was a beautiful shot from winger Mullen on 35 minutes that turned the game into a draw. While both teams were in danger of restarting the game in the second half, neither striker could capitalise on a goal-scoring opportunity and the game ended 1-1. Now, Mainz are in a very difficult position, they have one win, six draws, eight defeats and are in seventeenth place.
Because this team's attack ability is mediocre, it has now fallen into the relegation zone. The days ahead were not good for Mainz, as they faced not only Borussia Dortmund, but also strong teams such as Wolfsburg, Union Berlin and Eintracht Frankfurt. If you don't find your form quickly, it will be difficult to get out of the relegation zone in the short term. Mainz's tactical panel has undergone a series of recent changes, including from 343 to 4231. However, due to the overall weakness of the team, the strikers lack the opportunity to rotate, so the change in tactics is not obvious. In addition, the "counter-attack" puts forward higher requirements for the passing ability of the central defenders, but Mainz does not have a midfielder who can play in the middle, which greatly limits their attacking efficiency.
Premier League: Everton v Fulham, Wednesday: 03-12-20:45, Wednesday, Everton have regained some energy in recent times, with eight wins, two draws and seven defeats. Although they are still far behind in the league points at the moment, Everton have regained their strength after back-to-back victories over Newcastle and Chelsea, which has given their players a lot of confidence. Given the difficulty of qualifying for Europe this season and the fact that they are still a long way from relegation, the league and FA Cup are their main targets. Everton have kept a clean sheet in their last four matches, which shows a lot of improvement at the back.
Compared to the sluggish at the beginning of the season, the defensive enthusiasm of the central defenders has been greatly improved, and they have become more active on the field, using the active forward movement of the midfield, which can not only contain the opponent's attack, but also increase their own scoring ability. Fulham have been in good form of late, with six wins, three draws and eight defeats, and are in 11th place in the table. After more than a month of training, the Fulham players have become more connected. Although Fulham will struggle to take advantage of the Premier League, they can show their skill and tactics when they come up against a team that is similar to or weaker than them. Fulham are in a solid position in the league right now, and if they continue to play, they won't have to worry about being relegated this season.
In the last 10 rounds, Everton have won four, drawn one and lost five. Despite failing to win at home to Fulham, Everton were able to take the initiative on the pitch, largely due to poor performances from their forwards. However, Everton have come a long way, and their attack and defense have improved a lot. Given that Fulham are not strong defensively, Everton could beat Fulham in the space of 90 minutes to qualify.
