SC Freiburg vs Borussia Dortmund: Match Preview | Bundesliga 2021/22

Freiburg-vs-Dortmund

Following an unconvincing goalless draw in their opening league game last weekend, SC Freiburg will feel they have an opportunity to amass the first three points of the season when they host Borussia Dortmund.

Freiburg were held to a 0-0 draw by Arminia Bielefeld away from home in their first game while Dortmund started the season with a great win over Eintracht Frankfurt.

Marco Rose’s side put five goals past Frankfurt in the league opener while conceding twice as he grabbed a dream start.

Against Freiburg, Marco Rose will need to assemble the best of players on the pitch to overcome the tireless opponent. Dortmund have won two of their last five visits to Freiburg, losing one and the other two ending in stalemate.
