Game Preview
On the first day of the new Bundesliga season, Borussia Dortmund will kick off their competition at the Westfalenstadion by hosting Augsburg. After a rather dismal sequence of games in November, Dortmund will be looking to resurrect their campaign in the domestic competition.
Dortmund’s chances of winning the title may have already been crushed by their terrible end to their 2022. If prior seasons give any indication, being nine points behind Bayern Munich with the halfway point of the season approaching is almost impenetrable. Edin Terzic’s team may be down in sixth place, but the top four are still very much within reach, and if other results go their way this weekend, they might move up to third.
Even if they are losing the championship, Sebastian Haller’s story may be the most touching one in Europe this year. After receiving a cancer diagnosis only days after joining the team, he has made a miraculous comeback to the field in recent weeks, scoring a hat-trick in their last exhibition game against Basel.
Dortmund’s offense is unquestionably its strongest point, and Youssoufa Moukoko, Haller’s attacking partner, has scored the most goals among under-18 players in the top 10 leagues in Europe so far this season. With 11 Bundesliga goals in just 1300 minutes of play, the teenage talent has been a revelation.
Enrico Maassen, the manager of Augsburg, managed Dortmund’s youth team the previous season, thus this will be a special event for him even though they are now suffering from the longest winless streak in the Bundesliga. They have only accrued three points over a stretch of seven games without a victory, which has brought them closer to disaster.
As the Bundesliga resumes, Augsburg is only one point above the relegation zone, but astonishingly, they have one of the best away records in the division. Only five other teams have a better points-per-game average on the road. They have the worst home record in the German first division as a result, and if they wish to avoid being demoted this season, they must improve on that in 2023.
