Borussia Dortmund will be looking to get back to winning in the Bundesliga when they take on basement boys Greuther Fürth at the Signal Iduna Park.
Borussia Dortmund have gone from back-to-back Bundesliga victories to a brace of winless league fixtures (D1, L1), falling nine points behind pacesetters Bayern Munich in the process. If they are to reignite their title hopes, ‘Die Borussen’ need to launch a massive upturn in form and an encounter against a Greuther Fürth they’ve defeated in their last five competitive H2Hs on the trot looks like a perfect place to start. That said, Dortmund have racked up just three victories across their last seven Bundesliga home match-ups against sides starting the day bottom of the table (D3, L1), while they shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw with Greuther’s fellow promoted comrades Bochum last time out. A leaky defense remains a concern, with Marco Rose’s team keeping just one clean sheet in 15 Bundesliga outings this season.
On the other hand, Greuther Fürth eked out a precious 1-0 home win over Union Berlin at the weekend to snap a humiliating 14-game winless start to this Bundesliga campaign (D1, L13). That triumph helped end the longest-ever Bundesliga losing streak of 12 matches in a row. Yet, an embarrassing return of all eight Bundesliga away defeats, coupled with a -25 goal difference, suggests the visitors are likely to falter again. Stefan Leitl’s men have conceded a league-high 31 Bundesliga goals on the road this term, letting in a staggering 19 second-half goals in the process. Therefore, it’s not surprising that seven of Fürth’s eight top-flight travels this season have featured at least one goal on or beyond the 75th minute, highlighting the potential for plenty of late action.
