Bundesliga News - 2018/2019 Matchday 3

​Paco Alcacer made his debut with Borussia Dortmund on Friday and his goal at the 88th minute sealed Dortmund’s 3:1 victory over visiting Eintracht Frankfurt. Dortmund’s other goals came from Abdou Diallo in the 36th minute and Marius Wolf in the 72nd minute. Frankfurt’s lone goal came in the 68th minute, tying the match momentarily, when Sebastien Haller converted a deflected cross from Danny da Costa. Haller’s goal, incidentally, continued his streak of scoring on every matchday so far this season. Marius Wolf, on the other hand, scored his first Bundesliga goal as a Frankfurt player against Dortmund, and his first goal as a Dortmund player came against Frankfurt. The win places Dortmund in first place in the league going into Saturday’s matches, and Dortmund are unbeaten in their last 25 home matches played on Friday nights. A key match on Saturday occurs when Hertha Berlin travels to nearby VfL Wolfsburg. The 2 clubs are currently tied in points near the top of the table, and a win for either side could put them in first place, depending on the outcome of Saturday’s contest between Bayern and Leverkusen. A key player for Wolfsburg will be center-back John Brooks, and Saturday’s match will be his second meeting against his former club - the first was last year’s 3:3 draw. Brooks was born in Berlin and made 130 senior appearances for Hertha before transferring to Wolfsburg in July 2017. Hertha have already defeated Nürnberg and Schalke this season and are anticipating the potential return from injuries of captain Vedad Ibisevic, Jordan Torunarigha, Marvin Plattenhardt, and Davie Selke. The historical odds favor Hertha on Saturday: Wolfsburg have never won 3 consecutive games at the start of the season, and Hertha are unbeaten in their last 5 matches against the Wolves. The later game on Saturday will feature USA internationals Fabian Johnson and Weston McKennie on opposing sides, when Borussia Mönchengladbach host FC Schalke 04. Gladbach are also unbeaten so far this season, while Schalke have failed to register a single point. Schalke’s Guido Burgstaller was Schalke’s top scorer last season, with 11 goals, but has failed to hit the net in all contests this season. A win for Gladbach would give them their best start since 2011-12. Looking ahead to Sunday, Freiburg will host nearby Stuttgart, and both clubs are still looking for their first points this season.
