In Athletic Club, Iñaki Williams has established himself as the team's main attacking asset. He is a striker with a lot of speed, a characteristic that Dortmund will have to counteract.
Erling Haaland is undoubtedly the star of the German team. The records of this lanky striker are more than impressive and his goal-scoring ability, very enviable.... On a par with the best teams in the world.
In total, Borussia Dortmund and Athletic Club have met three times, all in pre-season friendlies, with completely equal numbers: one win for each team and one draw.
The first duel took place in the 1990-91 preseason, which ended in a one-goal draw.
The second took place in the 1993-94 preseason, when the German team won 3-1.
The third meeting took place in the 2016-17 preseason, when Athletic Club won 1-0.
Athletic Club will close the preseason with this match. Like their opponents, they have had one win and one loss so far this season. The squad has not undergone many changes compared to last season, so it is expected that Marcelino Garcia's team will maintain a style of play looking to appear and win a title trying to get over the bitter pill of the Copa del Rey final.
Borussia Dortmund, coached by Marco Rose, are heading into what will be their penultimate preseason match. The balance, from the results is regular, with one victory and one defeat. The germain team have not made any major changes to their roster, with the arrival of Swiss goalkeeper Gregor Kobel and French defender Soumaïla Coulibaly. Of the five departures, the most notable was that of Jadon Sancho to Manchester United.
This match will have a special feature: the two halves will be of 60 minutes each, for a total duration of 120 minutes. It will undoubtedly be a more than ideal match for the teams to begin to show their variants and give their players some practice.
