Both playing their final pre-season friendly this summer, Borussia Dortmund and Aston Villa meet at Signal Iduna Park on Saturday evening.
Dortmund :
Borussia Dortmund and Aston Villa will conclude their pre-season campaigns with a friendly at Signal Iduna Park on Saturday. Dortmund, adapting to life under new manager Nuri Sahin after a challenging season that saw them fall short in both the Bundesliga and Champions League, have had a mixed pre-season with two draws, one loss, and one win. Sahin’s squad, now without key players like Jadon Sancho and Marco Reus, will be looking to fine-tune their form before their Bundesliga opener against Eintracht Frankfurt and a DFB-Pokal match against Phonix Lubeck.
Aston Villa :
Aston Villa, under Unai Emery, have had a turbulent pre-season, including three defeats in the United States. However, they secured a morale-boosting 3-2 victory over Athletic Bilbao in their last friendly, with late goals from Cameron Archer, Jaden Philogene, and Jacob Ramsey. With new signings Ian Maatsen and Amadou Onana, and departures including Douglas Luiz and Moussa Diaby, Villa will aim to build momentum ahead of their Premier League opener against West Ham United.
Prediction: 2-2
