Preview: Dortmund vs VfL Bochum
BVB aim to bounce back in this match against Die Blauen.:
Dortmund have begun the new season on a good note despite suffering a poor result in the last match against Stuttgart who outperformed them to secure a thumping 5-1 win. This match could prove to be a good lesson for Nuri Sahin who has been given the charge to guide the team to the top.
Nuri Sahin, who promised the fans that they would see a much more attacking Dortmund this season, has yet to click after managing to net seven goals from four matches. However, die Schwarzgelben did put on an impressive show against Club Brugge in the Champions League opener and now will face Celtic in the next UCL outing.
Bochum have endured a difficult start to the new Bundesliga season and are currently in the 16th position after match day four. Peter Zeidler’s side will have to start producing results to maintain their position on the safer side of the league table this season.
Last season was a wake-up call for Die Blauen after somehow managing to escape relegation. However, the early form will only concern them as they might find securing points on the road difficult.

The Bundesliga (German: [ˈbʊndəsˌliːɡa] ⓘ; lit. 'Federal League'), sometimes referred to as the Fußball-Bundesliga ([ˌfuːsbal-]) or 1. Bundesliga ([ˌeːɐ̯stə-]), is a professional association football league in Germany. At the top of the German football league system, the Bundesliga is Germany's primary football competition. The Bundesliga comprises 18 teams and operates on a system of promotion and relegation with the 2. Bundesliga. Seasons run from August to May. Games are played on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, with a focus on Saturdays. All of the Bundesliga clubs take part in the DFB-Pokal cup competition. The winner of the Bundesliga qualifies for the DFL-Supercup. Fifty-seven clubs have competed in the Bundesliga since its founding. Bayern Munich has won 32 of 61 titles, as well as eleven consecutive seasons between 2013 and 2023, which is a record for a Big Five league. The Bundesliga has also seen other champions, with Borussia Dortmund, Hamburger SV, Werder Bremen, Borussia Mönchengladbach, and VfB Stuttgart most prominent among them. The Bundesliga is one of the top national leagues, ranked fourth in Europe according to UEFA's league coefficient ranking for the current 2024–25 season, based on performances in European competitions over the past five seasons. The Bundesliga led the UEFA ranking from 1976 to 1984 and in 1990. It has also produced the continent's top-rated club seven times.
