Match Preview of Dortmund vs Cologne: Billy Goats underdogs in Rhine derby
Ajax showed Borussia Dortmund's weaknesses and the loss of Erling Haaland to injury will be felt. However, Marco Rose's men will be upbeat about their chances as they host Cologne at the Signal Iduna Park. Der BVB has claimed three Bundesliga wins in succession, scoring 12 goals in the process. While the attacking output continues, their defence continues to raise concerns amongst the Dortmund faithful.
Cologne will be wary of their much-fancied rivals but confident in their abilities after downing Stuttgart on their latest away trip. The fact that the Billy Goats managed to claim an away win during their awful last campaign would also build hope in their fans. Steffen Baumgart has allowed them to believe with an impressive start to the campaign and they can repeat their heroics of last season.
