Last season, Freiburg experienced a fairytale journey, qualifying for the UEFA Europa League after placing sixth in the Bundesliga and reaching the DFB Cup final. Since the beginning of the new season, they have continued where they left off, defeating Augsburg 4-0 on Bundesliga Matchday 1 and Kaiserslautern in the cup. After scoring in both games, Ritsu Doan, a Japanese international, is proving to be a wise addition.

In addition to returning central defender Matthias Ginter, who spent three years at Dortmund earlier in his career, fellow summer acquisition Michael Gregoritsch also scored against Augsburg. Young Frenchman Kiliann Sildillia, who performed admirably in place of injured right-back Lukas Kübler, could keep the position, while attacker Lucas Höler is still out with a fractured metatarsal.

Revamped Dortmund has also had a successful start to 2022–23. In the DFB Cup, Edin Terzic’s team easily defeated 1860 Munich, but they had to fight hard to defeat Bayer Leverkusen 1-0. Former Freiburg defender Nico Schlotterbeck has adapted easily and helped his new team retain consecutive clean sheets, but against Leverkusen, goalkeeper Gregor Kobel received praise for a series of excellent saves that prevented Patrik Schick from scoring.

Bellingham, who was recently chosen Dortmund’s third-choice captain at the age of 19, also put up a usually diligent effort. French striker Anthony Modeste, who is fifteen years older than the England international, is set to make his BVB debut after completing his transfer from Cologne at the beginning of the week. However, Karim Adeyemi is questionable after hurting a toe on the first weekend.

Niklas Süle, Nico Schlotterback, Salih zcan, and Karim Adeyemi are just a few of the new players Edin Terzic has at his disposal at Borussia Dortmund.

Match Stats

 In 35 Bundesliga games, Doan has scored 6 goals and provided 3 assists. In his final match for Arminia Bielefeld in May 2021, he scored in back-to-back Bundesliga games.

 Between 2014 and 2017, Ginter played 102 times for Dortmund in competitive games.

 In their last three home encounters with Dortmund, Freiburg has gone undefeated with victories in the first two. But Christian Streich has lost to BVB more often than any other team he has faced in his coaching career (14 of 19 matches).

 Bellingham has made 92 appearances for Dortmund so far, scoring 11 goals and dishing out 18 assists.

 Before joining Dortmund in the summer, Schlotterbeck played for Freiburg in 56 games.

 Dortmund has won the first game of the season for the last eight seasons, but in the previous two years, including last season, they have lost on Matchday 2.

Possible Lineups

Freiburg: Flekken – Sildillia, Ginter, Lienhart, Günter (c) – Eggestein, Höfler – Sallai, Doan, Grifo – Gregoritsch

Out: Ezekwem (muscular), Höler (metatarsal), Schade (abdominal)

Doubtful: Kübler (thigh)

Coach: Christian Streich

Dortmund: Kobel – Meunier, Hummels, Schlotterbeck, Guerreiro – Dahoud, Bellingham – Malen, Reus (c), Hazard – Modeste

Out: Haller (testicular cancer), Süle (muscular)

Doubtful: Adeyemi (toe), Özcan (foot), Rothe (hip)

Coach: Edin Terzic

Analytics:

Ritsu Doan currently plays for high-flying Freiburg, where it will be difficult to catch up to him as he did for Arminia Bielefeld on the right wing.

In the last 10 Bundesliga matches between the two teams, Freiburg has only won 2, drawn 3 and lost 5. But in the 5 matches Freiburg has played at home, Freiburg has won 2, drawn 2 and lost 1, which means that Freiburg has some advantages at home against Borussia Dortmund. And Borussia Dortmund has no absolute advantage at Freiburg’s home ground! Freiburg will be playing at home this time and will make good use of their home advantage to cause problems for Dortmund, who will not have an easy time getting points, despite their better reputation and strength.
