Bundesliga
Borussia Dortmund vs SC Freiburg
9:30 ET
It has been a frustrating start to the season for Borussia Dortmund so far. The Black and Yellows lost their first away game of the campaign to FC Augsburg before slumping to a 3-2 defeat at the hands of Bayern Munich in the DFL Supercup in midweek.
Such run of form has put Lucien Favre under pressure and the Swiss tactician will be desperate to secure a victory when his side host FC Freiburg on Saturday.
Dortmund were already lucky last weekend to get away with their 2-0 defeat to Augsburg as Bayern Munich were rocked by TSG Hoffenheim. However, the Bundesliga giants won’t be expecting a similar result this time around, meaning failing to secure a victory on Saturday could allow their Bavarian rivals to get an early headstart.
Freiburg, however, will be no walk in the park for Favre’s men. The club from the black forest have enjoyed an inspired start to the campaign, opening their account with a 3-2 win over VfB Stuttgart before holding out VfL Wolfsburg to a 1-1 draw last weekend.
