Key Players
- Bambase Conte has 1 assist in 1 Bundesliga 2026/2027 match so far, but his excellent final ball has already given Die Kraichgauer a clinical edge in attack.
- They are a very fluid and pressing side, which will look to overload the midfield and break the defensive lines of Dortmund, who play with width thanks to their wing-backs and can make you pay for the most minor rotations with their ability to transition at high speed.
Betting Insights

Prediction
