Dortmund will be hopeful that the Bundesliga title is not yet gone, despite some rough spells in the campaign so far this season. BVB head into Saturday’s home game at Signal Iduna Park against Union Berlin in high spirits.
Lucien Favre’s team are currently fourth-place in the table but are just four points behind league leaders RB Leipzig in the race for the German top-flight title. However, on the flip-side, BVB are also just two points above fifth-place Bayer Leverkusen.
Dortmund have won their last two games in the Bundesliga against Augsburg and last time out Koln. The star of the show in both games for BVB was Norwegian starlet Erling Haaland. The recent signing has scored five goals in just 59 minutes of Bundesliga action, having come off the substitutes bench in both matches. The youngster became the first player ever to come off the bench and score a Bundesliga hat-trick on his debut against Augsburg.

Dortmund have a strong recent home record in the German top-flight, as they are unbeaten in ten games at Signal Iduna Park in the Bundesliga, recording seven wins in the process.
The key to their recent good home form has been their lethal form in front of goal. In fact, BVB have scored at least twice in 25 of their last 26 home matches in the German top-flight.
Union Berlin are enjoying a pretty solid debut campaign in the Bundesliga. The team from the capital are currently eight points clear of the drop zone, with beating the drop their main objective for this season.
Union’s form has not been great of late in the Bundesliga, as they have won just once in five league outings. However, they ended a four-game winless run last out when they recorded a 2-0 home victory over Augsburg.
Forebet predicts that Dortmund will make it three out of three wins in the Bundesliga in 2020 by recording a victory in a high-scoring encounter.
