Playing so impressively last season, Borussia Dortmund can be proud of their performances and results. Even though they lost ground in the title race, relinquishing the league trophy to serial champions Bayern Munich, there were loads of positives to be taken.

Meanwhile, Borussia Monchengladbach managed to secure a top-four spot to qualify for the Champions League. They had to fight off a strong charge from Leverkusen to finish fourth on the log. As this new campaign rolls along, expect these two sides to be in amongst the top-four mix again.

Once again, Borussia Dortmund played out an impressive campaign last term but had to settle for a place behind champions Bayern Munich. Indeed, this appeared a great chance for Der BVB to finally knock Bayern off their perch but failed in their tracks.

Thanks to Bayern’s slow start to the campaign, Dortmund and Leipzig quickly rose to the summit of the standings as the two went head-to-head for top-spot. However, a late resurgence from the Bavarians saw them reclaim their rightful place at the top of the pile.

Truth be told, Dortmund were faultless throughout the campaign. Their attacking frontline of Hazard, Haaland and Sancho was one of the most frightening in all of Europe last term. These attackers often left opposition sides chasing shadows.

The Black and Yellows were in stupendous form the previous campaign and remained in contention for the Bundesliga title for a long time. However, a narrow 1-0 loss to Bayern in June left the players fuming as Dortmund’s form dipped subsequently.

From there on, it was a one-horse race for the Bavarians as they strolled to yet another Bundesliga title success. With another season kicking-off, Dortmund will once again, be looking to finally snatch the prestigious trophy from their rivals.

For that, they will need to perform a little better than they managed last term, starting with an opening fixture win over Monchengladbach. Die Fohlen are clearly one of the better sides in the German Bundesliga and should never be treated with a wave of the hand.

With a whopping 65 points from 34 games, Monchengladbach clinched fourth spot on the standings last season, just two points clear of fifth-placed Leverkusen. Marco Rose will surely have been full of praise for his players for their exploits.

Their major aim this season will be to secure a top-four finish again, and possibly challenge for the league title. They were in fine form throughout the course of their pre-season tour, securing victories in four of their five games.

Also, in the DFB-Pokal first round, Monchengladbach hammered minnows Oberneuland to advance to the next round of the competition. The Foals hit eight unanswered goals past the opposition as they strolled to success.

Injured or Suspended Players

Borussia Dortmund: Dan-Axel Zagadou, Mateu Morey, Marcel Schmelzer and Youssoufa Moukoko.

Dortmund vs M'gladbach Predictions

These two teams are well-matched, indicating some end-to-end football here. Sancho has been the subject of incessant transfer rumors linking him with a move to Manchester United. However, this is unlikely to affect his output on-the-pitch.

Separating these two sides on paper could prove very difficult, forcing us to entertain the goal market. Expect both teams to hit the target, with more than three goals between them.
