Erzgebirge Aue vs Borussia Dortmund Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | Club Friendlies 2024

The Black and Yellows will face the third division side in their first pre-season friendly.

There is still time for the new season (2024-25) and teams are using this time to prepare themselves. Two German clubs, Erzgebirge Aue and Borussia Dortmund will face each other in a friendly. This will be Dortmund’s first pre-season match, whereas Erzgebirge Aue will be playing their fourth. The Black and Yellows, after last season’s success in the UEFA Champions League, would look forward to continuing with the same.  

Erzgebirge Aue play in the third tier of German football and they ended last season in sixth position. They missed out on a promotion playoff spot by three points. The last league season didn’t go well for Dortmund either, as they ended fifth on the Bundesliga table. This was one of the worst performances by them in the top-flight, however they compensated for it by reaching the final of the Champions League. Most of the team’s players are out on vacation, but those who are left are enough to give tough competition to their opponents.

Players to Watch

Ricky Bornschein (Erzgebirge Aue)

Ricky Bornschein is a 24-year-old striker who recently moved to Erzgebirge Aue after completing the 2023-24 season with SpVgg Greuther Furth II. The last season went phenomenally well for Bornschein. He was able to score 17 goals in 33 matches for his team.

Now, Erzgebirge Aue will benefit from this talented forward. His scoring abilities can surely be a cause of concern for Dortmund’s defenders up to some extent. 

Karim Adeyemi (Borussia Dortmund)

One of the most influential players in the team, Karim Adeyemi is merely 22-years-old and has already had a huge impact. He plays as a left winger for Dortmund.

In that position, he scored thrice in 21 Bundesliga matches last season. Adeyemi will look forward to doing the most in the upcoming season and this match could be the starting point.
