Heja BVB
The Daily Bee is a little late today because I am tired and I just couldn’t be bothered to write it. I couldn’t be bothered to do anything really. It hasn’t been a productive day. But here we are. We have another international break, which means we have to do as much deranged discourse as […]
As the 2025-26 season begins to take shape, Borussia Dortmund have settled into a trend that is quite unfamiliar. For a club that has so much history of attack-minded football, it’s been on the defensive where Niko Kovac and his men have found success. Dortmund’s seven goals and 9.4 expected goals conceded are both second […]
Happy International Break #3. Dortmund will be heading off to national duty this week in the final rounds of preparation before the 2026 World Cup. It’s a big break for European clubs, as these are the final two matchdays in the qualifiers before the World Cup draw. Here are some of the big matches to […]
Well, that’s twice now BVB have failed to hold onto a lead in the league, three times this season, counting the game against Juventus. It was an uninspiring match from Niko Kovac’s men after their 4-1 battering in Manchester, and this draw will feel a lot like a loss after leading up to the 97th […]
In the final match before the international break, Dortmund travelled to Hamburg to face the newly promoted but historic North German side. Dortmund were in charge of possession for the entirety of the match, regularly winning the ball back through their high press, but they failed to really break down Hamburg’s defense. Carney Chukwuemeka’s strike […]

So… Where does that 4-1 defeat to Manchester City last Wednesday leave Niko Kovac’s BVB side? For the first time this season, the team got vastly overpowered by an opposition, and it will be very interesting to witness how the team will react. This could quickly propell BVB into a slump, or the players could […]
Werder Bremen host Wolfsburg this evening in a matchup between two very closely teams. My model, Predicting Ball, gives Werder Bremen a very small ratings edge, and it gives Bremen a 47.1% win probability over Wolfsburg’s 26.6%. The rest of the weekend’s fixtures include several big mismatches. Union Berlin have a win probability of 5.3% […]
As some of you may have noticed, I was not around last week, because I was taking a very lovely vacation in the beautiful country of Colombia. If you have not been, I cannot recommend it enough. I especially vouch for Medellín, which went from one of the most violent cities in the world a […]
Borussia Dortmund came to the Etihad Stadium in Manchester and fell 4-1 to Manchester City. While the scoreline definitely makes it seem like a paddling, this game wasn’t quite as one-sided as 4-1 would indicate. BVB pressed very hard in the first 20 minutes and City looked quite uncomfortable. A late set-piece goal from Waldemar […]
That’s another round of the Champions League league phase in the bank. There were a couple major upsets on Wednesday evening, as Qarabag FK earned a 2-2 draw against Chelsea, and Club Brugge held Barcelona to a point in a 3-3 draw with the Catalan giants. The biggest results of round four in the Champions […]
Borussia Dortmund suffered a heavy defeat in the Champions League this evening as Manchester City scored four brilliant goals to secure a 4-1 victory. This loss marks BVB’s first European defeat of the season. Dortmund can count themselves a little unlucky to concede four, but BVB found themselves on the wrong side of a City […]

Tomorrow, Borussia Dortmund will face Manchester City in a match that has the potential to make or break Dortmund’s quest to automatically qualify for the Champions League Round of 16. Manchester City, the current runners-up in England who won the entire competition only three years ago, will arguably be Dortmund’s most difficult opponent of the […]
The Champions League gets back underway this evening. The biggest of tonight’s fixtures will be PSG vs Bayern Munich, which is being billed as a clash between two of the early favourites to go all the way. There is also the exciting prospect of Real Madrid travelling to face Liverpool at Anfield, with the return […]
Borussia Dortmund face a difficult Manchester City tie in the Champions League today but will be buoyed by the return of three key injuries. Nico Schlotterbeck, Emre Can, and Julien Duranville are all available and we can expect Schlotterbeck to start. Niklas Süle is out with a toe injury. It’s not the most exciting slate […]
The BVB jet will be feeling the miles with another away day, this time abroad. Dortmund are travelling to England this week to face off against Manchester City after their weekend victory in Bavaria against FC Augsburg. The matches keep coming for BVB, but fortunately, the squad seems to be keeping mostly fit. Dortmund are […]
Cold. Bland. Uninspiring. You may struggle to get it down, but that old morning brew still does the job at 3pm. Dortmund did just that on this Friday away game at Augsburg, securing the three points as planned. And Guirassy, who had been on a six game scoreless run, got the goal. Beyond that, the […]
It is Borussia Dortmund’s turn to kick things off this weekend, as they head to Bavaria to face Augsburg this evening. The rest of the weekend offers a bunch of pretty competitive matchups. We’ve got a tie between the two promoted teams on Saturday, along with pretty finely balanced fixtures between St. Pauli and Gladbach, […]

Borussia Dortmund’s four match away streak continues tomorrow with a Bundesliga match against FC Augsburg. Augsburg took a gamble this offseason when they appointed former Bundesliga mainstay, Sandro Wagner, as head coach. It is Wagner’s first stint as head coach after a brief period as an assistant coach with the German National team. His tenure […]
The second round of the DFB-Pokal was concluded last night. There were few major upsets, with Holstein Kiel’s 1-0 victory over Wolfsburg perhaps the most notable. However, the biggest story from the midweek fixtures took place in a tie between two 2. Bundesliga teams. Sixth-placed Darmstadt gave top-of-the-table Schalke an absolute shellacking on their way […]
Borussia Dortmund were incredibly unlucky to draw against Frankfurt in the second round of the DFB-Pokal, and the game proved to be just as tight as expected. It was the old boys coming back to haunt BVB in the first half, as Ansgar Knauff opened the scoring early off a Mario Götze assist. Julian Brandt […]
We are still two months away from the Winter Transfer Window but that does not mean it is too early for a transfer rumor or two. Borussia Dortmund garnered a reputation for developing young talent in the past decade, but recent years have seen few success stories of relatively unknown talent plying their trade in […]
Borussia Dortmund travel to Frankfurt to take on Die Adler in the DFB-Pokal tonight, in the first of a four-game stretch of consecutive away fixtures. BVB will face Frankfurt, Augsburg, Man City, and Hamburger, all away from home, before returning home to face Stuttgart towards the end of November. Doesn’t seem ideal, given that stacking […]
