Heja BVB

We have entered the crucial stretch of Borussia Dortmund’s season. Over the next week and a half, Dortmund will face Atalanta at home, RB Leipzig away, Atalanta away, and Bayern Munich at home. Tomorrow’s match against Atalanta is pivotal for any hopes to reach the UCL round of 16 – and the lofty revenue that […]
Dominating the ball from the first minute to the very last has been rare this season, perhaps even non-existent. This type of performance, where instead of trying to keep the ball far from Kobel, we play in the opposition’s field, is, of course, a Dortmund fan favorite, and this Friday night was special. From Ryerson’s […]
A little late to get the Bundesliga thread out but I thought I should set something up for the Bayern Munich game that just kicked off. I’m not feeling particularly optimistic about Werder Bremen’s chances of pulling the upset, and Predicting Ball agrees, giving Bremen a 9.4% probability of winning (though a 25.1% probability of […]
There’s something strange occurring in Dortmund. Typically, if you told me that Borussia Dortmund played Mainz in a match involving three set-piece goals, I would assume the match ended 3-1 for Mainz and they brought Jude Bellingham onto the field at full-time to cry for nostalgia’s sake. Instead, Dortmund actually scored three set pieces. You […]
Soccer is a very simple game. 22 players run around a field and the team that crowds around the goalkeeper during set-pieces walks away with three points! As fans across the world reject modern soccer’s use of set pieces to change the game, Niko Kovac embraces modernity with a macabre infatuation. Dortmund have actually learned […]
We’ve got some Friday night football! Borussia Dortmund will look to close the gap to the top of the table to just three points with a win against Mainz tonight, piling as much pressure on Bayern Munich as possible in the process. Mainz won’t go quietly, though. Die Nullfünfer have been in great form recently, winning four […]
For a brief moment last weekend, the Bundesliga title race felt like a reality. Borussia Dortmund came away with all three points against Wolfsburg, and fans had talked themselves into Hoffenheim being ready to do Dortmund a favour in Munich. Just as everyone was starting to get their hopes up about a title fight becoming […]
Niko Kovac’s Borussia Dortmund are on pace for a phenomenal season, and it’s all thanks to the club’s stellar defensive record. BVB have only conceded 20 goals in 21 Bundesliga games. Without this, the squad’s comparatively paltry offensive numbers would be nowhere near good enough to have them anywhere close to a title challenge. This […]
Borussia Dortmund expands! The club recently announced it’s first international academy in Africa. Creatively named, BVB International Academy Ghana, the football academy will open this month and seek to develop players of both genders. The academy is based in in Accra and is being established in partnership with the Ghanaian team, Accra Shooting Stars FC. […]
The second round of DFB-Pokal quarter-finals take place this week, with Hertha Berlin facing Freiburg this evening and Bayern Munich hosting RB Leipzig tomorrow. Bayer Leverkusen and VfB Stuttgart already booked their place in the semi-final last week, so the remaining hope for a 2. Bundesliga side pulling an upset lies with Hertha Berlin tonight. […]
Good late evening Fear the Wall, Apologies for this late Daily Bee, I was super busy today. This is going to be a quick one as well. So Bayern won. I have some thoughts on that game but fortunately I don’t write for BFW so I don’t have to share them. What I will say […]
Another three points are in the bag as Borussia Dortmund continue their strong (league) start to 2026 and unbeaten run (in the league) since October. Dortmund have collected 16 of a possible 18 points made available to them in the new year, and had they seen off what is a rather poor Frankfurt side, they […]
In a game of two halves, Dortmund do just enough to secure a victory against the perplexingly relegation threatened Wolfsburg. After largely controlling the first half, save for some fast breaks by Wolfsburg, BVB let the game and their lead slip. For a moment, it looked like Wolfsburg could even snag a victory, threatening to […]

Don’t tell anyone but Borussia Dortmund might actually be in a title chase. After five months of Bayern Munchen pulverizing every team that played them, a string of two bad results mean Dortmund are only six points behind the perennial champions. Unfortunately for Dortmund, they also have to get results if they want any hope […]
The weekend’s Bundesliga action kicks off in about half an hour, with Union Berlin hosting Eintracht Frankfurt. If you’ve been paying any attention to Frankfurt’s season, you’ll know they are a ludicrous team that is very capable of scoring and conceding a lot of goals. They have also been on a terrible run, yet to […]
The week after the January transfer window closes is pretty light on football news. The best you can hope for is some gossip from the final days of the window. We’re left with no choice but to immediately start taking about the summer, despite the fact the dust hasn’t settled on January. The football season […]
The January transfer window has closed and while it was a quiet month for Borussia Dortmund, there was plenty of other business in the Bundesliga and around Europe. It’s like watching everyone else open presents on Christmas Day and finding out your gift is the company of loved ones. BVB News Bundesliga News Your Thoughts? […]
Six points. The gap between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund is now six points, with fourteen games remaining in the season. In a vacuum, if the names of the clubs were hidden and only the point totals were compared, would you call it a title race? A lot can happen over fourteen games. Dortmund might […]
Good morning, Fear the Wall. Dortmund made it hard on themselves yesterday with their 3-2 win over Heidenheim. An injury to Filippo Mane got the ball rolling on what was a genuine fight from Heidenheim, and if you ask me, Heidenheim probably deserved more from that game. Better finishing would see them win handily at […]
In a vacuum, I recognize that needing to come back from a 2-1 deficit with the help of two penalties, one of which your player misses, and a few other lucky bounces, all against the worst team in the league, is not ideal. If Borussia Dortmund are indeed able to run down Bayern Munich in […]

After another worrying Champions League goose egg, Dortmund return to their bread-and-butter in the Bundesliga. There, the black-and-yellows remain undefeated since their one loss in Munich back in mid October. Furthermore, their record against this weekend’s opponent is a pretty one: four wins, two draws, no losses. Making Heidenheim the only current Bundesliga side Dortmund […]
We’re about 30 minutes late on the Bundesliga Open Thread but FC Köln vs Wolfsburg is still 0-0 right now so it basically doesn’t count. According to Predicting Ball (which has been recently updated and now splits fixtures by date and shows kick-off time in your timezone), there are several pretty close games this weekend, […]
