​Recent Dortmund signing Erling Haaland became on Friday the first Bundesliga player to score 5 goals in his first 2 matches, helping to drive Borussia Dortmund to a 5:1 victory over visiting 1. FC Köln. Dortmund took the lead early in the match with a goal from Raphael Guerreiro just over 1 minute in, and he was followed by Marco Reus in the 29th minute and Jadon Sancho in the 48th minute. Köln narrowed the lead to 3:1 at the 64th minute, when Schalke loanee Mark Uth finally found the net, but 2 final goals from Haaland, in the 77th and 87th minute, sealed the victory for Dortmund. Haaland has only played 59 minutes for Dortmund, giving him an average of 1 goal every 12 minutes. Reus’ goal means he is now 26th in all-time Bundesliga scoring, with 126 goals, tying him with Martin Max, the father of Augsburg defender Philipp Max. The win momentarily moves Dortmund into 3rd place in the table, tied with Bayern at 36 points. The key match to watch on Saturday will be that between Bayern and visiting Schalke, who are separated by just 3 points in the table. Bayern will welcome the return of Joshua Kimmich from suspension, but may not field Spain international Alvaro Odriozola, who is a recent loan from Real Madrid and has only trained with the team for a few days. Schalke are now doing far better than last season, already having accumulated the same number of points from the entirety of last season, but have only beaten Bayern 1 time at the Allianz Arena. Schalke expect the return of Amine Harit, who had a thigh problem last week, but Benito Raman is fighting the flu and goalkeeper Alexander Nübel, who will join Bayern this summer, remains suspended. If Robert Lewandowski manages to score a goal in this match, he would tie Gerd Müller’s all-time record of 21 goals after 19 matchdays. Leipzig’s Timo Werner, however, could also tie that record if he scores against Eintracht Frankfurt, and it was against Frankfurt that Werner scored his 1st Bundesliga goal, for VfB Stuttgart in September 2013. If Leipzig should win against Eintracht, it would be their first victory in the Commerzbank-Arena: to date, they have drawn 2 matches and lost 1 match there. Looking ahead to Sunday, SV Werder Bremen and Fortuna Düsseldorf will both look to escape the relegation zone, when they play against Hoffenheim and Leverkusen respectively.
