When Borussia Dortmund plays, there is almost always something going on. This can also be proven statistically. At the weekend, BVB can look forward to a unique record.

“Schalke does not reward themselves against agitated Dortmunders,” headlined the kicker on October 26, 2019, when Borussia Dortmund did not get more than 0-0 at FC Schalke 04 in the Revierderby, but – “Royal Blue acted superiorly for a long time” – was still well served was. In 128 Bundesliga games since then, the team, which is now coached by Edin Terzic, has not delivered what is certainly the most boring of all results for the fans.
At the start of the new Bundesliga season, when a 0-0 draw against a brave Cologne side would have been a bit flattering for BVB, he only averted the zero number in the 88th minute through Donyell Malen. Actually not that unusual at all, Borussia always scored a goal in the last five minutes in their last five games across the seasons. That too is a quality.
128 Bundesliga games in a row with your own participation and always at least one goal – that’s already a record. However, the record is still shared, of all things, with arch-rival Schalke, who managed 128 times in a row without going 0-0 between October 1971 and August 1975.
In the league, things didn’t go well for BVB in Bochum recently
So when the Terzic-Elf take on VfL Bochum in a district duel on Saturday (3.30 p.m., LIVE on kicker), the first goal, and of course a goal against, means the sole record. In the last two Bundesliga games at VfL, Dortmund’s only two league appearances in Bochum in the recent past, BVB had drawn 1-1.
In contrast, Dortmund won 2-1 in Bochum in the last sixteen of the DFB Cup last season.
