Pre-season is finally coming to a close for Borussia Dortmund, with the DFL-Supercup against Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich on Sunday in Signal Iduna Park marking the starting point for the coming season.
The Black and Yellows will play two more friendly matches against 2. and 3. Bundesliga sides SV Sandhausen and Hallescher FC, as well as the first round of the DFB-Pokal against Eintracht Trier, a fourth-division club, before the start of the Bundesliga campaign.
However, even though the Supercup doesn't have great importance in Germany, it can be considered the curtain raiser of the season.
