Dortmund 2026/27 Bundesliga Preview
Borussia Dortmund are the only side in the Bundesliga with a 100% record. Four wins from four have brought 12 points and a two-goal cushion at the top, and only two goals have gone the other way: 2-0 at home to Hamburger SV, 3-2 at Hoffenheim, 3-0 against Paderborn and a 1-0 win at Stuttgart on the last matchday.
The goals have been spread rather than concentrated. Serhou Guirassy, Felix Nmecha and Fábio Silva have two each, Guirassy adding two assists to go with them, and Maximilian Beier has two more. Behind the back three of Joane Gadou, Waldemar Anton and Nico Schlotterbeck, Gregor Kobel has kept three clean sheets in four and made 12 saves.
Second place and 73 points last season, with 34 conceded, was already the second-best defensive record in the division. Niko Kovač has tightened it further without losing the threat, and a 3-4-2-1 that gets Julian Ryerson and Daniel Svensson high up the pitch has made Dortmund the side to beat.

Dortmund’s set-piece specialists
- Penalties: Serhou Guirassy
- Free-Kicks: Konstantinos Karetsas, Joey Veerman
- Corners: Julian Ryerson, Ethan Nwaneri
Julian Ryerson has taken 4 of Dortmund’s corners to Ethan Nwaneri’s 4. Konstantinos Karetsas has had one of the direct free-kicks. Dortmund are yet to be awarded a penalty, so the taker is unproven – Serhou Guirassy, their leading scorer, is the likeliest candidate.
