Borussia Dortmund

BVB suffered a serious loss this week, as captain Filippo Mane suffered a serious knee injury in the 4-0 win over Fortuna Düsseldorf and will be out of action for a long time. “We can’t replace a top player like him. Filippo is our most important guy,” says coach Mike Tullberg. Tyler Meiser, the 16-year-old centre-back talent who was set to be carefully introduced to the U19s, now has to step up to replace the defensive talisman. Rafael Lubach took the captain’s armband and, to add insult to injury, was shown a red card in the 79th minute for excessive complaining.

After facing SV Sandhausen last weekend, Jan Zimmermann’s team now prepare to go toe-to-toe with another heavyweight opponent with Bundesliga 2 experience. Ingolstadt spent many years in the second tier and even played in the Bundesliga from 2015 to 2017. However, they dropped down to the 3. Liga in 2022. 

Outlook: Both teams remain undefeated this season. Bayern have started with seven wins and two draws and are in second place with 23 points; two points and two places behind them are BVB (six wins, three draws), who would leapfrog the Bavarians with a win.

The personnel situation in the Black & Yellow squad is good ahead of the headline fixture of the tenth matchday of the Bundesliga season. Marius Wolf, who was forced off against Hoffenheim due to injury, is expected to be able to take part in the final training session on Friday. Captain Emre Can has been absent for the last two games, but was on the pitch on Thursday and has been working hard individually and on his fitness. “The aim is for him to train with the team on Friday. He’s been out for ten days now, so it would be good if he could take part in the session without any problems,” said Terzic regarding the only potential absentee in the Dortmund squad.

Club members can purchase up to two tickets via the BVB ticket shop. All ticket purchasers will receive paper tickets by post.

1-0 – Five of BVB’s nine wins so far this season have been by a scoreline of 1-0! Marco Reus was previously the scorer of the all-important goal in the 1-0 win at home to Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga earlier in the campaign.

The “Hund & Pferd” convention in the Westfalenhallen opens its doors earlier the day, which means that a large number of the parking spaces in the vicinity of the stadium will already be occupied prior to the match against Bayern.
