But with Bayern Munich looking to have not lost a step too, it means they are set to be in for another fearsome tussle to bring silverware home - and their visitors might present their stiffest challenge of the new term to date.

Team news & rosters
| Position | Dortmund roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Kobel, Meya, Lotka, Unbehaun |
| Defenders | Morey, Schlotterbeck, Guerreiro, Schulz, Hummels, Akanji, Süle, Coulibaly |

Two wins from two is just the way Borussia Dortmund would want to start the new term, particularly after a troubling off-season of market activity.
Erling Haaland is gone and the man they brought to replace him, Sébastien Haller, is out for the long haul. Can Anthony Modeste, the man parachuted in, help fill the void this term?
Predicted Dortmund starting XI: Kobel; Meunier, Hummels, Schlotterbeck, Guerreiro; Bellingham, Dahoud; Adeyemi, Reus, Malen; Moussoko.
| Position | Bremen roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Pavlenka, Zetterer, Backhaus, Haesler, Lord |
| Defenders | Jung, Stark, Pieper, Weiser, Veljković, Buchanan, Agu, Friedl, Gross, Chiarodia |
| Midfielders | Stage, Bittencourt, Salifou, Schmid, Schmidt, Rapp, Goller, Gruev, Mbom |
| Forwards | Ducksch, Burke, Füllkrug, Dinkçi, Woltemade |
Four goals scored, four goals conceded and two four-goal encounters - Bremen are the model of average consistency so far this term.
That isn't going to get them moving up the table in a hurry however and they'll be eyeing a major scalp to help their ascent this weekend.
Predicted Bremen starting XI: Hradecky; Frimpong, Kossounou, Tapsoba, Bakker; Aranguiz, Andrich; Diaby, Armoun, Hlozek; Schick.
