Borussia Dortmund form and stats

The visitors are W8-D3-L5 on the road this term. That's in the Bundesliga.

Borussia have a lot to play for after their shock defeat (3-4) to VfL Bochum 1848 in their previous outing, played at their own home ground. As you can tell from the result, the match against VfL Bochum 1848 was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today? Mixed emotions for Borussia Dortmund's Haaland who got on the scoresheet three times against VfL Bochum 1848, but still walked off the pitch defeated. The attacker Haaland got a match rating of 9.35 in that game. Haaland scored three goals and hit three key passes.
