Things are about to get serious for Borussia Dortmund after the two week long international break. Seven games are to be played within 22 days up until the end of the month. The season starts up again for the table leaders on Saturday away at Sportclub Freiburg. The game kicks off at 15:30 CEST.

The Borussia men travel to Breisgau having yet to drop any points or concede a goal, and it is tempting to think that the team would have preferred to make this trip a week ago already to keep their winning streak going. Peter Bosz takes the break as it comes: prearranged, and unalterable. "We knew full well that the break was coming. I accept things as they are."

Even though BVB are runaway favourites on paper given that they have defeated Freiburg in their last 12 encounters, and that Sportclub have picked up only one point so far this season, Peter Bosz has portrayed the fixture as anything but a formality: "They play in a well-structured formation with good players who are dangerous on the counter." He expects the opposition to be compact and that they will seek to hit BVB on the break. He cautioned: "It will not be simple. We have already seen that against Hertha when a team is well organised. All the players need to be fully focused in order to get a good result."  (br)
