BVB ended their previous campaign as runners-up with 13 points behind champions Bayern Munich. The position was four points better than their weekend opponents. Both sides are keen on contending for a win to start the right way.
Bayern Munich eight league title in the Bundesliga shows their dominance. BVB will try to break the curse this weekend but face an uphill task. Bayern Munich started off with an 8-0 win over Schalke 04.
The side recently lost right-back Achraf Hakimi to Inter Milan but filled the gap with signing free agent Thomas Munier. The side recently strengthened their camp over the transfer with the signing of Reiner Jesus and Jude Bellingham.
With three weeks left on the transfer window, the Yellow and Blacks remain hopeful on remaining with Haaland and Jadon Sancho despite heavy links from different European heavyweights.
