European chasers Borussia Dortmund and Freiburg play on Friday night at Signal Iduna Park to kick off the Bundesliga weekend.

The hosts will want to make amends on home grounds to keep their spot in the top four after their perfect start to 2024 was halted in last weekend's Friday match.
Last Friday, Edin Terzic's Dortmund team was held to a scoreless tie at the Voith Arena during their trip to newly promoted Heidenheim.

Dortmund is now behind Stuttgart in third place going into the weekend, even though they have dropped points and RB Leipzig has won their first game of the year.

But with Eintracht Frankfurt's defeat last weekend, it looks like the teams presently in third, fourth, and fifth place in the Bundesliga will compete for the remaining two Champions League slots.An enticing injury list from the previous week did not assist Terzic, but now that they are playing on Friday, the manager is hoping they can get the upper hand and put early pressure on Stuttgart and Leipzig.

They have been enjoying themselves against Freiburg lately, and they can double up against their next opponents here.
In the rematch, Dortmund won 4-2 at Europa-Park in September thanks to two late goals from Nicolas Hofler, whose late red card proved to be crucial.

With BVB winning both of their encounters last season by an overall score of 8-2, goals have been frequent. Given that the fixture has averaged more than five goals per game over the previous two seasons, another thrilling matchup may be in store.

Freiburg is eager for a victory after a lackluster 2024 campaign, so they will be hoping for the best.A draw with those who suffer Union Berlin's thrilling 3-2 victory over Hoffenheim at home to start the season was followed by two straight losses to Werder Bremen and Stuttgart, which caused them to fall out of contention for European spots.

Frankfurt is only three points behind Dortmund, but their troubles have kept them in the running for the top six. They now need to win to have any chance of finishing in the top four, since they are now nine points behind.

Not only would it be ideal to get back on track to strengthen their Champions League bid, but they will also be playing in the Europa League again next week when they take on Lens in the elimination preliminary round.
