Preview: Dortmund Vs SC Freiburg
The Black and Yellows are in a rut given their usual level of performance:
It’s too early to call winners in the Bundesliga, but if you’d ask any German, they’d tell you Dortmund‘s title hopes are already fading. And it’s mostly due to their woeful away form—just one point from five matches. On the flip side, the Black and Yellow team’s run at Signal Iduna Park, though, has been key in keeping them in the hunt for the top-4.
Currently, they are seventh with 16 points, and that’s not your typical Dortmund. Up next, they face Freiburg at home. That’s key: at home… But the visitors have been the dark horses in the league with 17 points. They’re level with Bayer Leverkusen but behind on goal difference.
The question is: Will the hosts’s fortress hold, or can Freiburg shake off their recent struggles
