Borussia Dortmund will be aiming to kickstart new Bundesliga campaign in fashion when they welcome Koln to their Signal-Iduna-Park on Saturday afternoon.
Key midfielder Jude Bellingham is no longer part of the team, but new signings Ramy Bensebaini, Marcel Sabitzer, and Felix Nmecha are surely capable of helping the Yellow-Blacks improve their game.
As for the season opener, aforementioned midfielder Nmecha misses out with injury as well as Reyna, Meunier, Adeyemi, Sule, and Scholotterbeck.
The Billy Goats, on the other hand, are not regarded as good travelers and that is the main reason why we are going to bet on the title hopefuls.
To make things even worse for the visiting side, influential players Jan Thielmann and Dejan Ljubicic are out of contention with injuries, while both Timo Hubers and Davie Selke are major doubts and the duo will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
This match will be played on 19/08/2023 at 17:30
Prediction: 2-1
