Borussia Dortmund vs Union Berlin Preview and Team News
Borussia Dortmund Team News
Borussia Dortmund are having a challenging term so far. In 22 outings, they only have 8 wins, 5 draws, and 9 defeats. Their haul of 29 points is only good enough for 11th on the Bundesliga table. A far cry from the top-four contention expected of them at the beginning of the season. They are currently 8 points out of the top four.
They’ve struggled for consistency, having won just once in their last eight home games. Last time out, they were shocked by VfL Bochum, who ran out impressive 2-0 winners at home to Dortmund, highlighting the defensive vulnerabilities of Niko Kovač’s side.
Despite their struggles, Kovač and his charges have shown glimpses of their potential with key players. Sehrou Guirassy and Jamie Bynoe-Gittens contribute significantly to attacking play.
