A fantastic Friday in Freiburg

Borussia Dortmund kicked off the season in style with a 3-0 cup win before defeating Bayer Leverkusen 1-0 in the league, however they travel to face a Freiburg side who’ve also won their opening two games, including a notable 4-0 opening day league win!

Christian Streich’s men are often formidable at home, they are unbeaten in four of their last five home encounters with Dortmund and pushed the top-four race all the way down to the wire last season, so you underestimate them at your own peril.
