DORTMUND
Dortmund has had an amazing start into the season in Budesliga but it seems to be have lost its enthusiasm, after dropping points in its last 2 games against Hoffenheim away from home (1-1 draw) and DartmstadT at home (2-2 draw). It is worth mentioning that Dortmund has scored 21 goals in 7 games in the league season, averaging 3 scored goals per game and another 21 goals in 6 games in the domestic cup and through its so far European presence. In other words, Dortmund has scored 42 times in just 13 games this season.
Sahin, Durm and Subotic will be out of play from tonight’s game due to injury problems.
Considering therefore the fact that both teams score with amazing ease, it is expected that there will be plenty of goals in tonight’s game;
