Free soccer tips

Borussia Dortmund comes into action early on Saturday evening. The title candidate knows that no points may be lost in the away match against Union Berlin.

1. FC Union Berlin:

FC Union Berlin grabbed its first point at the highest German football level last week. After the hopeless 0-4 defeat of RB Leipzig two weeks ago, things went better last week. When visiting FC Augsburg, Union met an opponent against whom they had a better chance. In a match that was qualitatively fast to forget, Sebastian Andersson made a point for Die Eisernen. In the final phase Keven Schlotterbeck received the red card, so he will not be active on Saturday.

"We have to move on to Dortmund, where we stopped in Augsburg,” coach Urs Fischer decided this week. The coach will certainly want to do better with his team than in the home match against RB Leipzig, when the power difference in large phases of the match was huge. An extra defensive adaptation to the attack power of the visitors would not be strange on Saturday either.

Borussia Dortmund:

Borussia Dortmund didn’t make it easy for itself last week, in the away game against 1. FC Köln. The 1-3 win that was celebrated only came about in the final stages, but was considered deserved throughout the entire race. The victory brought the Dortmunders to six out of two, after the 5-1 win over FC Augsburg, which was booked a week earlier.

Everyone who has a warm heart for Der BVB watched the draw for the group stage of the Champions League with above-average interest on Thursday evening. Dortmund was not one of the lucky ones in that draw. The yellow blacks meet two major opponents with FC Barcelona and Internazionale. But in turn Barcelona and Inter will of course not be happy with Dortmund as an opponent. The adventure for Der BVB starts in mid-September with the prestigious home game against Barcelona, ​​in a group in which Slavia Prague will probably act as an extra.

Two of the best sports teams in Germany had already played in their own stadium after three match days. Especially there, the league should actually be managed, but points against teams such as RB or Dortmund are unlikely to be expected. Therefore, it looks quite as if Union would stand even after the second home game without home.

Borussia Dortmund has announced Bayern Munich this season the fight and wants to bring the title in the Ruhr with all his might. After two matches it looks very good, because BVB greets from the top of the table. Six points from two games, plus a round in the DFB Cup, that's what a perfect start to the season looks like.

The ambitions of the Berlin and the BVB could not be further apart. Therefore, it should be clear that in the game between Union Berlin and Dortmund, the forecast clearly goes in the direction of an away win. In the last season, the Köpenicker were in the 2nd Bundesliga, although the best home team, but there were the opponents also quite different.

Urs Fischer will not be completely dissatisfied with the start of the season. A point from two games are for a climber in order, especially since the co-climbers from Cologne and Paderborn could not post a counter in the account. The mood will be great on Saturday, but we still do not feel compelled to give a hint to the home side between Union Berlin and Dortmund.

Dortmund - Statistics & Current Form

Borussia Dortmund has the stuff to become German champion this season. BVB could hardly have done much better on the transfer market. In each position, the yellow-black are twice well staffed and therefore the successes so far this season are no coincidence. Rather, it was expected that the team of Lucien Favre would start the same way.

Borussia has already won four competitive games this season and has won four times. In addition to the victory in the Supercup against Bayern, there were two threes in the Bundesliga and a success in the DFB Cup. For Lucien Favre, the primary task now is to keep the players happy which is not used that often.

On Saturday Borussia strives for the next threesome. For four years, however, BVB has not been able to win the first two away games in one season. With the 1. FC Cologne could be shown in the last week already a climber in the barriers. The plan is to win in Berlin as well.

For a long time, the Dortmunders suffered their hardship and hardship against 1. FC Cologne for the past week. The Effzeh went after half an hour with 1: 0 lead. Dortmund found only the rooms when the double six was dissolved and with Julian Brandt an additional offensive player came into play. In the closing stages, Jaden Sancho, Achraf Hakimi and Paco Alcacer still managed to win 3: 1.

Lucien Favre

Therefore, the BVB coach expects a heavy game on Saturday against strong and well-organized Berlin.

Lucien Favre will miss the services of Thorgan Hazard on Saturday for a rib injury. The logical alternative would be Julian Brandt. However, Dortmund could compete again only with a six. Then Brandt would be a candidate for the offensive midfield and Jacob Bruun-Larsen or the willing-to-change Raphael Guerreiro could come for Hazard on the outside line.
