Signal Iduna Park, Dortmund
📊 Match Insights
Borussia Dortmund aims to maintain their strong start to the Bundesliga season as they host SC Paderborn at Signal Iduna Park this Saturday.
Dortmund is chasing a fifth consecutive victory, while Paderborn seeks their first win of the 2026-27 campaign.
Under the management of Niko Kovac, Dortmund finished second to their rivals Bayern Munich last season. However, they have started this season robustly, eager to reclaim the title.
The campaign kicked off for BVB with a 2-0 win against Hamburger SV on August 29, followed by a thrilling 3-2 comeback against Hoffenheim the following week. They were down by two goals but rallied impressively, scoring all three of their goals after the 60-minute mark.
This victory places Dortmund third in the standings, two points ahead of Bayern. Although it's early in the season, they are determined to maintain their lead.
Fans will be encouraged by Dortmund's recent performance, having secured a 3-2 win over Villarreal in the Champions League on Tuesday, marking their fourth consecutive win.
At home, Dortmund has won four of their last five matches, with their only loss being a narrow 2-1 defeat to Bayern in the Super Cup on August 22.
Conversely, Ralf Kettemann's Paderborn is still searching for their first league win since their promotion and is eager to establish themselves in the top flight.
