On matchday 5 of the Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund will host TSG Hoffenheim. Coach Edin Terzic is looking forward to the duel and gave insights into the personnel situation.

Borussia Dortmund will open the 5th matchday in the Bundesliga on Friday evening (20:30). Guest at the Signal-Iduna-Park will be TSG Hoffenheim. The Borussians and the Kraichgauers both have nine points on their account.

Borussia has not lost to Hoffenheim in four games, winning three of the duels. But BVB knows about the danger of the guests. “I am looking forward to the reunion with Andre Breitenreiter. They had a very decent start and are doing very well, are very variable. It will be a good task,” head coach Edin Terzic looked ahead to the duel at the press conference.

The defensive midfield could well be manned by Salih Özcan again. “Salih did an excellent job in Berlin. Everyone will get their time and be important,” said Terzic. Another defensive player also received extra praise from the coach, namely world champion Mats Hummels: “Mats had a lot of games in his bones last season. You can see that he was very busy during the summer break. He seems very stable. “

“Make a very good physical impression “

In the offensive Anthony Modeste had proved his worth for the first time with his winning goal at Hertha. “It was a very important goal for him and for us,” Terzic also knew. “He continues to work hard, wants to score many goals for BVB.”

Despite possible absences, Terzic was quite relaxed. “For Donyell Malen it probably won’t be enough. There are still minor question marks with Mahmoud Dahoud and Karim Adeyemi. Giovanni Reyna has made a good impression in the last few days,” he said, describing the situation of the recently injured players. But Borussia’s large squad gives the head coach no reason to worry, as he himself noted: “There will always be downtimes. That’s why we’re happy to have so many options. We make a very good impression physically. “
