Game Preview
On Saturday we will have one of the most exciting matches of the opening weekend of the Bundesliga 2022-23 season. Borussia Dortmund host Bayer Leverkusen at Signal Iduna Park to kick off their campaign. While both of these teams managed to secure a spot in the Champions League last season, this time around they’ll try to overcome the current champions Bayern Munich.
Dortmund were the last team to break Bayern’s dominance in the Bundesliga, with current Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp guiding his former club to two successive league titles in 2011 and 2012. There have been a couple of near misses since those glory years, with Edin Terzic hoping to repeat the feat this time as a manager. The 39-year-old guided Dortmund during their 2020-21 campaign as caretaker.
Terzic’s side is likely to be without new signing Sebastien Haller as the forward recovers from having a tumor removed. In the meantime, 17-year-old Youssoufa Moukoko could be handed a chance to lead the line after starting in last weekend’s cup win against 1860 Munich. Next Moukoko is Nico Schlotterbeck, who is in line for his league debut.
Leverkusen had a great run in their last campaign too. Finishing 3rd on a 19-7-8 record, trailing Dortmund by 5 points. The 2021-22 season was the debut for Gerardo Seoane as the Leverkusen manager, and it was a very exciting one to see develop. The former Young Boys manager has made Leverkusen an exciting team to watch, with their impressive 80 goals only bettered by Bayern and Dortmund last season.
Seoane’s side will travel without their teenage sensation Florian Wirtz as he continues to recover from the cruciate ligament rupture he sustained last season. Wirtz could be out of action for quite a while, which puts pressure on Sardar Azmoun to deliver in the number ten role after a relatively slow start to life in Germany.
