FC Bruges vs. BVB: Teams’ record

Borussia Dortmund started the Champions League this season with a new coach. But it’s not just Nuro Sahin who is new as head coach, BVB has a completely different coaching team. Assistant coaches Joao Tralhao, Ertugrul Arslan and Lukas Piszcek are also new. The team also has to get used to each other. In the cup against Lübeck and in the Bundesliga opener against Frankfurt, the team took home a win each time. Against Bremen, the team only managed to earn one point.

On the other hand, Bruges only managed to get one point in the first three league games of the season, but the team won the next three games. Even though both teams started the season well, BVB can probably count on better chances in a direct comparison. Borussia won the last two games between Bruges and Dortmund with a clear 3-0. BVB also managed to fight their way to the semi-finals of the Champions League last season, while Bruges did not take part in the CL at all in 2023/24. In the 2022/23 season, however, the team from Belgium reached the round of 16. (Praise)
