This weekend the
Bundesliga in
Germany starts with the
first round of the national league. On Sunday the 22 of August
Borussia Dortmund hosts
Bayer 04 Leverkusen. The game takes place in the Signal-Iduna-Park at Dortmund and starts at 7:30pm. Both teams already made a game in the Europe league and also both were able to win their games.
Dortmund won 3:0 against Qarabakh from Azerbaijan during the play offs for the Europe League. Last season the team from Jürgen Klopp finished the season on the 5th place. This fifth place allowed the team to play in an international tournament and I am sure that the team reaches the group stage. Also Leverkusen was playing in the play offs for the Europe League and the also won with 3:0 against Tavriya. Last season the club finished the season on the 4. position and they missed the qualifying place for the Champions league just for 2 points.

Nelson Valdez changed the club for 3.8 million Euro to Hércules Alicante from Spain. Two important players will miss this game because they were injured. It is not sure how long they were not able to play. Michael Ballack comes back from Chelsea FC to Leverkusen during summer. He is a very good and professional player and I am sure he will help the club from coach Heynckes.
