adminBERLIN. — Borussia Dortmund make another attempt to carry their sparkling Champions League soccer form into the German Bundesliga but face a stern test against in-form Borussia Moenchengladbach tomorrow.
Dortmund routed Galatasaray 4-1 on Tuesday to qualify early for the knock-out rounds in Europe with a maximum 12 points from four games and an impressive goal difference of 13-1.
Only Italy’s Juventus have ever had a marginally better start into the elite event with a goal difference of 14-2 from four wins in 1995-96.
In the Bundesliga, Dortmund have not won since the mid-September start of the Champions League – placed a shocking second last with just seven points, on a win-less run of seven games and five straight defeats for an overall league-worst seven losses in 10 games.
While shining against Arsenal, Anderlecht and Galatasaray, the winless league run sees defeats against Mainz, arch-rivals Schalke, Hamburg, Cologne, Hanover and leaders Bayern Munich. — AFP.
