Bologna vs Borussia Dortmund Preview 


Borussia Dortmund lost all three games in 2025 and no one would be surprised to see them sack Nuri Sahin. Bologna should capitalize on this and grab at least one point in front of the home crowd.

Stats 


  • Bologna are unbeaten in 9 of their last 10 matches. 
  • Borussia Dortmund are winless in 7 of their last 8 matches. 

Head to Head


This is going to be the second head to head match between these two sides. 

Borussia Dortmund were victorious 3-0 in a friendly match in July 2021. 

Form 


Bologna faced some tough opponents so far in January, but got away with five points total from three Serie A encounters. 

They were one minute away from beating Roma at home, Thijs Dallinga and Lewis Ferguson scoring in the second half, but conceded late equalizer (2-2). 

Another 2-2 draw was seen three days after, upsetting favored Inter Milan at Guiseppe Meazza. 
Last weekend, Rossoblu conceded early to Monza but scored three unanswered goals through Santiago Castro, Jens Odgaard and Riccardo Orsolini to win 3-1. 

They are 33rd on the Champions League table with just two points from six games and can’t compete for the playoffs. 

Start of 2025 was a complete disaster for Borussia Dortmund who lost three consecutive games in Bundesliga and dropped down to 10th place. 

After suffering back to back defeats to Bayer Leverkusen 3-2 and Holstein Kiel 4-2, BVB failed to recover last weekend and lost to Eintracht Frankfurt 2-0. 

As for their UCL campaign, Nuri Sahin’s side is occupying 9th place with 12 points from six matches (four wins and two defeats). 

Team News 


Bologna’s midfielder Michel Aebischer is struggling with adductor pain and will likely miss this match. Nicolo Cambiaghi is also sidelined with a long-term injury. 

Defender Niklas Sule (syndesmotic ligament tear) is the only name on Dortmund’s injury list. Ramy Bensebaini is suspended. 

Predicted Starting Lineups  


Bologna: Skorupski, Holm, Beukema, Casale, Lykogiannis, Freuler, Ferguson, Odgaard, Orsolini, Ndoye, Castro 

Borussia Dortmund: Kobel, Ryerson, Anton, Schlotterbeck, Bensebaini, Can, Brandt, Gross, Nmecha, Gittens, Guirassy 

Verdict

Borussia Dortmund are facing their biggest crisis under Nuri Sahin, losing all three games in 2025. Bologna remained unbeaten against some tough Serie A opponents, so I will back them to grab at least a point on Tuesday.
