Only 24 hours after the successful start to the second half of the Bundesliga season Borussia Dortmund face 2. Bundesliga side Union Berlin in a friendly this afternoon.

There are two reasons behind this match. Firstly, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the club from the capital which was founded on the 20. January 1966. This was also the year in which a German club won the Europa Cup for the first time (a 2-1 victory over Liverpool). Secondly, to give Coach Thomas Tuchel the chance to give some game time to those who did not or only briefly played yesterday in Mönchengladbach.
