Bundesliga Home Challenge: Revierderby on matchday 4

The Bundesliga Home Challenge is set for its fourth round, which features the first derby between S04 and BVB in a football simulation. In the showcase initiated by the DFL, the Royal Blues have won five of their six matches so far, with their only loss coming against Hannover 96.

The Black-Yellows, on the other hand, have been less successful in the Bundesliga Home Challenge. After a draw against Mainz (3-3) on the first matchday and a victory over Holstein Kiel the week after (7-4), BVB lost to RB Leipzig last time out (6-2). YouTuber Erné Embeli competed for Dortmund against FIFA professional and Leipzig fan Ajdin Islamovic, with the duel ending in a 3-0 loss for BVB. In the second match, Leipzig’s Nordi Mukiele faced Dortmund’s defender Leonardo Balerdi. The RBL defender went 2-0 down, but pulled off a dramatic comeback to beat his fellow Bundesliga footballer 3-2.
