Is there a confirmation on Schmelli being the frontrunner for the anticipated meeting?
On August 19, 2023, the Signal Iduna Park stadium will host a fierce clash between Borussia Dortmund and Cologne as part of the kick-off fixtures in the German Bundesliga.
Borussia Dortmund
The Yellow and Blacks are filled with determination following their narrow miss on the championship title in the previous season's final round. With their impressive personnel potential, Dortmund aims to reclaim the Bundesliga trophy. In this home match against a relatively weaker opponent, Dortmund is expected to dominate. Known for their unrelenting attacks and keen eye for scoring opportunities, expect them to put pressure on Cologne and aim for a solid win from the get-go.
Cologne
Known as the Billy Goats, Cologne showed a solid performance in the previous Bundesliga season, securing a mid-table position well clear of the relegation battle. The Billy Goats aim to maintain their standing and demonstrate an improved performance in the new campaign. Given the significant difference in skill levels between the two teams, this match against Dortmund may prove to be a steep challenge for Cologne. In order to grab even a single point in this match, Cologne must display robust and disciplined defensive play while converting any opportunities they manage to create.
