Borussia Dortmund Form and Team News

Borussia Dortmund have been the second best team in the German club football circuit in recent years, behind Bayern Munchen, last season though they were trailing mostly in the middle of the points table and had to grind it out at the end to reach the third position in the end. They are opening their campaign against Frankfurt on Saturday at home. Borussia Dortmund’s recent form has been quite good, they have won eight in the last ten and have lost just two games in the lead up to this game. Dortmund cannot be the second fiddle to Bayern everytime, they will need to step up their game and show what they are capable of in the Bundesliga with the sort of talent they have at their disposal.

Newly appointed Marco Rose would be keen to make a statement in this season, they have started started pretty well under him, Teenage sensation Erling Haaland remains their biggest weapon and he has opened the campaign in fine fashion netting in all three goals in his teams’ win in the DFB Pokal game last week. Marco Reus has enough experience behind him to really step up. They have a young team which everyone would love to have consisting of Reunier, Brandt, Bellingham, Reyna and co.
