Dortmund’s new head coach, Nuri Sahin, is experiencing a mixed bag of results in his early days at the helm. While the team boasts an impressive home record with five wins in five games, their away performances have been disastrous, leaving them in a precarious position in the Bundesliga.
Sahin’s BVB have dominated at Signal Iduna Park, racking up 19 goals and conceding only six in their home games, including a resounding 7-1 victory over Celtic Glasgow. However, the story outside of Dortmund has been far from rosy. The Black and Yellows have managed to secure just one point in three away league games, culminating in a disheartening 2-5 defeat against Real Madrid after a promising 2-0 lead.
The coach acknowledges the disparity, saying, “We can’t take the South Stand with us,” referring to the fervent support of Dortmund’s home fans. He also highlights the absence of this energy in away games, admitting that they “haven’t been able to generate that same energy ourselves, and that has been a problem.”
Sahin recognizes the need to improve their away performance, emphasizing that “you have to win games away from home, otherwise we can’t achieve our goals. We need to play dominantly.”
This weekend’s trip to Augsburg presents another challenge for Sahin’s side, who have a mixed history at the WWK Arena. Dortmund will be looking to secure their first away win in the Bundesliga and demonstrate that they can translate their home dominance onto the road.
