Borussia Dortmund versus Bayer Leverkusen: BVB welcome the Werkself to Signal Iduna Park on Saturday evening. The 1st match day of the Bundesliga begins with an endurance test for Borussia. Here you can find all information about the game and the TV broadcast.
Dhis weekend marks the start of the 60th Bundesliga season. The first Saturday night game of the season takes place at Signal Iduna Park: BVB welcomes Bayer 04 Leverkusen. Despite the ongoing search for a striker, Dortmund will want to continue their performance in the DFB Cup. The Werkself, on the other hand, have to improve significantly after the embarrassing loss of the cup against Elversberg.
Kick-off is at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday evening. The pay-TV broadcaster Sky broadcasts the game live.
Duel of the CL contenders: Borussia Dortmund versus Bayer Leverkusen
Dortmund manager Hans-Joachim Watzke revealed in the “Sportschau” interview that he would like to present a Haller representative “ideally in 8 to 10 days”. It’s too late for the top game against Bayer Leverkusen. As in the DFB Cup game against 1860 Munich, Dortmund are likely to rely on 17-year-old Youssoufa Moukoko as a striker.
In the fight for the top positions, however, Bayer Leverkusen should also be involved again. Gerardo Seoane’s team was able to keep their top performers and strengthened their attack with Adam Hložek. In order to keep up against BVB, however, a significant increase in performance is required for the cup defeat in Elversberg.
