Borussia Dortmund vs FC Koln 18.03.2023

Borussia Dortmund have had a less than an impressive last one week. They were ousted from the UEFA Champions League by English team, Chelsea and they even suffered more woes with a 2-2 draw against their less fancied local rival Schalke in the Bundesliga.

However, they are only two points from leaders Bayern Munich who will have their hands full against Bayer Leverkusen. A win for Dortmund against their bogey side, FC Cologne and a slip by the Bavarians, will hand Edin Terzic’s men with the leadership of the Bundesliga.

With that in mind, the chance to go top of the log will serve as motivation for Dortmund to go all out against the visitors who are struggling at the moment. Recent meetings between them have been closely fought with Cologne edging Dortmund the last time out.

However, things are a little different now in terms of form and motivation. With a chance to go top or at least stay level on points at the top should Bayern lose, Dortmund are primed for the win.
