Saturday has a purpose again! The Bundesliga returns next weekend and has a top-class game ready on the first day of the match. In the Signal-Iduna-Park there is a duel between the two Borussias. Dortmund meets Gladbach. The odds are very clearly in favor of the black and yellow, who all won the last ten clashes against the foals.
In addition to the fact that the Favre-Elf meets an absolute favorite opponent, the proven home strength also speaks clearly for BVB. Nevertheless, we are looking forward to a hot match between two Champions League participants who have great ambitions for the upcoming season and who usually seek their salvation on the offensive.
The two coaches have another interesting thing in common. Marco Rose and Lucien Favre are currently the most successful coaches in their respective club’s history. The Swiss won 65% of all games with BVB; Rose also has a very respectable 59%. The omens for an exciting and high-class top game on Saturday evening are therefore clearly given.
The encounter is given additional charm by the approximately 10,000 spectators in the old Westfalenstadion. Not least because of this, a prognosis for the host is obvious between Dortmund and Gladbach. Even a handicap success is possible in view of the outstanding offensive of the black-yellows.
Dortmund – Statistics & current form
You can’t really start into a competitive season much more confidently and ripped off than Borussia Dortmund last Monday. In the first round of the DFB Cup, the black and yellow dominated the action at will and shot MSV Duisburg 5-0 out of their stadium. Although not everything worked optimally before the red card against a Zebra defender, it became clear in the beginning what outstanding offensive weapons BVB can call its own.
Last season, Borussia scored an impressive 84 goals in the final accounts, setting a club record. Now the squad has been hidden again with highly talented players like Thomas Meunier, Jude Bellingham or the young Brazilian Reinier. Sancho and Co. could meanwhile be held, so we trust the team of coach Lucien Favre again one or the other attack fireworks.
BVB offensive wants to build on the previous year
Especially in Signal-Iduna-Park, guests should be careful. In 2019/2020, the runner-up scored almost three goals on average per home game. Eight of the total of eleven home wins were achieved with at least two goals ahead, seven times (!) There were even four goals difference, which is of course statistically an indication that on Saturday between Dortmund and Gladbach another tip on handicap success ( -1.5) of the home side.
The fact that they have always started with a win in the last five Bundesliga seasons speaks for the ambitious Dortmunders. When it comes to personnel, Lucien Favre, who is known to have a Gladbach past, is also spoiled for choice. Although various players with Zagadou, Schulz, Morey, Schmelzer and youngster Raschl are injured, the Swiss can still afford the luxury of leaving well-known names like Brandt, Reus, Guerreiro or Piszczek on the bench from the start.
Probable formation of Dortmund:
Bürki – Can, Hummels, Akanji – Meunier, Witsel, T. Hazard – Reyna, Bellingham – Sancho, Haaland

Gladbach – Statistics & current form
Borussia Mönchengladbach has established itself as a top team in the Bundesliga in recent years. For the ninth time in a row, the foals finished a season in the upper half of the table, in six cases they made it into the European Cup, three times even in the Champions League. In 2020/21 the Rhinelander will again be able to compete with the really big names on the international stage.
In this regard, the team of coach Marco Rose expects a foretaste on the first day of play in the top German division. Even if the Gladbachers had nothing to report against BVB in the recent past, there is great confidence in the Niederrhein region that they can start with a sense of achievement.
This is partly due to the statistics that Mönchengladbach never lost in the last four seasons. The last defeat on matchday one dates back to 2015, but then against the other Borussia of all places.
Gladbach away from home is not nearly as stable as at home
It is not particularly likely that a forecast on the guest on Saturday evening between Dortmund and Gladbach will pay off, especially since the Rose protégés received most of the top six away defeats in 2019/20 (six). The preparation was not completely silent, among other things with a defeat against Greuther Fürth (0: 2). At least in the DFB Cup, the foals were convincing all along the line, but were hardly challenged in the 8-0 win against the upper division Oberneuland.
Similar to his counterpart, the ex-professional Rose also has to do without some players. Benes, Embolo, Lazaro, Poulsen and Villalba are definitely missing. Meanwhile, there are still question marks behind the missions by Bensebaini and Zakaria, who at least got back into team training after a knee operation.
Probable formation of Gladbach:
Sommer – Lainer, Ginter, Elvedi, Bensebaini – Kramer, Neuhaus – Wolf, Stindl, Hofmann – Herrmann

09/12 2020 Oberneuland 0 – 8 Borussia Monchengladbach
