Dortmund is in a really bad position right now. Their new year got off to a disastrous start, as they lost three games in a row. It’s hard to recall the last time this happened. The Bologna vs Borussia Dortmund match will kick off at 20:00 UK Time.
Getting to the round of 16 in the playoffs seems to be an uphill battle for Bologna, who are now placed 33rd in the league. Their goal in these last two games is to salvage some honour while making an impression on the other squads. But with no wins in the tournament thus far, it will be difficult for them to salvage anything from these last games. Despite facing a wide range of opponents, they have managed to score only one goal and let in seven. Their most recent Serie A victory was a 3-1 triumph over Monza, and in December’s Champions League match, they were tied with Benfica for first place.
In contrast, Borussia Dortmund sit in ninth place, only one point below Lille, who have already qualified for the playoffs. Without having to face a tough opponent in the playoffs, Nuri Sahin and his squad will be aiming to secure the spot and advance to the next round. With 18 goals scored thus far in the campaign, they are second only behind FC Barcelona (21 goals). They have also done well defensively, allowing just nine goals all season. Their most recent match, in December, was a 2-3 loss to Barcelona in the tournament. So far this year, the German side has lost every game they’ve played, so they’re hoping to turn things around. Their current Bundesliga losing streak is three games.
