Borussia Dortmund form and stats

Last season their Champions League adventure ended in the quarter-finals against Manchester City.

Things could have gone better for Borussia Dortmund in their Bundesliga away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.

It's the second away game in a row for Borussia, but there's smiles all around after the 4-3 victory versus Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga last time out. Attacker Erling Braut Haaland got a player rating of 9.34 in the game. "Man of the match" Haaland scored two goals, served one assist, hit two key passes and dribled passed the opponent 2 of 2 times. A bonkers fixture with heaps of goals last time out for Borussia, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that fun game, will this game be as exciting?

Prior to that match, a home win 3-2 against Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga.

A new game in only four days for Borussia, the Bundesliga home match versus Union Berlin. Busy days.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Borussia Dortmund has managed 5 goals and let in 5 from 2 matches.
