Seven matches, big challenges: Dortmund’s fixtures in February | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund faces a real test of endurance in February with seven competitive matches in just four weeks. Between top Bundesliga games and the Champions League duels against Atalanta Bergamo, the month could be decisive for the season.

February is a challenging month for Borussia Dortmund. Seven competitive matches in 28 days demand everything from the Black and Yellows: Five games in the Bundesliga and two crucial playoff duels in the Champions League shape a month that is likely to be pivotal in sports terms.

For the professionals, the Bundesliga marathon continues after the 3-2 home victory against 1. FC Heidenheim on February 7 with an away game at VfL Wolfsburg. BVB has been unbeaten there since November 2022. Subsequently, on February 13, a Friday evening match at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK against 1. FSV Mainz 05 is scheduled. The Mainz team is deep in the relegation zone, but coach Niko Kovac's team wants to ensure nothing goes wrong in front of their home crowd.

Champions League: BVB faces Atalanta Bergamo in the playoffs

Mid-month, the focus shifts to Europe. In the Champions League playoffs, BVB faces Atalanta Bergamo, an internationally experienced opponent and reigning Europa League champion. The first leg takes place on February 17 in Dortmund, before the second leg on February 25 in northern Italy decides the entry into the round of 16.

Between the two European Cup matches, another highlight awaits: In the Bundesliga, the top match against RB Leipzig takes place on February 21. The Saxons are currently behind BVB but aim to gain ground in the battle for top positions with a home victory.

The month concludes with a classic. On February 28, Borussia Dortmund hosts FC Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga top match at the sold-out SIGNAL IDUNA PARK. Seven games, numerous top duels, and hardly any breathers – February will be a real test of endurance for the Black and Yellows.
