The Red Devils gained 66 points with 49-35 goal difference. The team is getting ready to the new season with new manager Jose Mourinho. Manchester United have another summer, making numerous transfer. One of the signed for the United played is former Borussia Dortmund midfielder Mkhitarian. This will be the second match of pre-season for Mourinho’s men, who have defeated Wigan few days ago. It’s hard to say what lineup Jose will use for the match as the coach is only learning abilities of his new players.

Borussia had shown impressive attacking football last season but couldn’t benefit from it, losing the Cup to Bayern Munich and finishing second in Bundesliga behind former Guardiola’s men. On top of that, The Black and Yellow got lost the quarterfinal of Europa League to Liverpool, coached by they former manager Jurgen Klopp. The team will start new season with new line up as their leader Gundogan, Mkhitarian and Hummels left Dortmund and the club are looking for their replacements. Borussia played four sparrings already, beating Erkenschwick, 5-2, Wuppertaler, 2-0, St. Pauli, 3-2 and losing to Munich 1860, 0-1.
Both teams changed greatly this summer and English side even appointed new manager. The teams need to find balance before the new season. The teams won’t struggle for a win and we should expect small number of chances created by both sides.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 goals.
