Prediction: 3-0
Nurnberg
Following a 3-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt, Borussia Dortmund shared the spoils with Hoffenheim in their last league match. The Millionaires aim to start a new winning run in the German top flight and a victory over Nurnberg will see them rejoin the race for the title. Christian Pulisic is enjoying a very successful season and he will be the man to watch alongside Marco Reus. Nurnberg, on the other hand, registered a 2-0 win over Hannover in their last league match, with the team putting an end to their three game winless run in the national championship. The Bavarians are tough to beat at home, but they struggle on the travels and we do not believe that they are capable of claiming a major scalp on Matchday 5. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Borussia Dortmund, who are eager to put an end to Bayern Munchen’s dominance in Bundesliga.

Highlighted Player (Lukasz Piszczek):
Born on 3rd June 1985, Lukasz Piszczek is one of Poland’s most famous footballers at the moment, having made a name for himself thanks to some impressive performances for Borussia Dortmund. The full-back’s talent was spotted early on by Hertha scouts, and it is important to note that he began his career as a striker, winning the top goalscorer award at the Under-19 Euro in 2004. Following some excellent displays at said tournament, Piszczek was signed by Hertha, but he would go on to spend next three years on loan at Zaglebie Lubin. After returning to the club, the Polish footballer played on the left wing, but then switched to right-back as Arne Friedrich got injured and has played there ever since. In May 2010, Piszczek signed for Borussia Dortmund on a free transfer and has since developed into one of world’s leading right-sided defenders, sparking interest from clubs like Real Madrid and Manchester United. The full-back made over 45 appearances for the national team since he was handed his debut in 2007, representing his country at three successive European Championship finals.
