Last weekend, Dortmund became the first team in Bundesliga history to overturn a two-goal deficit inside the first half of a game and go on to win as they beat Borussia Mönchengladbach 4-2. It means the Black-Yellows have earned 11 points from losing positions this league campaign, which is second only to Augsburg (12). However, the Werkself boast an impressive stat of their own to counter that, as the only team in the Bundesliga in 2023/24 yet to drop a single point from a winning position.
BVB come into the game full of confidence after a 3-1 win at AC Milan on Tuesday ensured their progress to the UEFA Champions League last 16 with a game to spare. A draw at home to Paris Saint-Germain on the final matchday will even secure top spot. Yet as convincing as Borussia have been in Europe, their domestic displays have been far more up and down. Their record after 12 Bundesliga outings is seven wins, three draws and two defeats. They come into the game 10 points off leaders Leverkusen, and eight behind Bayern Munich in second. Coach Edin Terzic therefore wants to see the team he’s seen in the Champions League “as quickly as possible in the Bundesliga as well”.

Bayer 04 earned a 2-2 draw at FC Augsburg on Bundesliga Matchday 3 with a late equaliser. The Werkself led at half-time through Christian Kofane's strike but the hosts, who went in the game as league leaders, turned it around with a quickfire double from Michael Gregoritsch after the break. The Black-and-Reds didn't give up, though, and salvaged a point thanks to substitute Patrik Schick's flick in the 89th minute.
