The BVB jet will be feeling the miles with another away day, this time abroad. Dortmund are travelling to England this week to face off against Manchester City after their weekend victory in Bavaria against FC
Augsburg. The matches keep coming for BVB, but fortunately, the squad seems to be keeping mostly fit.
Dortmund are pretty well placed in the UCL so far, sitting pretty at sixth. It’s City who are in seventh, though, and they will see this week’s home match as a great opportunity to move up the table.
