It’s like magic! Bo Svensson (45) suffers from a BVB curse. As a coach, the Dane has never been able to win against the top team. That should now change with 1. FC Union. For this to happen, center forward Jordan’s knot must finally be broken. Follow the game from 3:15 p.m. here in the KURIER live ticker at the end of the text.
“I hope that there will be an individual turnaround for me,” explains Svensson before the highlight game against BVB this Saturday (3:30 p.m./Sky).
Bo Svensson suffers from BVB curse
In six Bundesliga duels with Dortmund so far, the former Mainz coach has not been able to win a single game. However, with the 2-2 draw in Dortmund on May 27, 2023, he blocked BVB’s path to the championship title on the last matchday. “Union had enough experience with Dortmund where they got positive results. The game doesn’t have that much to do with the past,” said Svensson.

In order to cause a surprise against coach Nuri Sahin’s team, Union Berlin needs goals. However, the offensive is still the big construction site in the Iron team’s game. The team is defined by its good defensive performance. “Nevertheless, we are not naive and we see that we need to develop more of a goal threat,” admitted Svensson.
1. FC Union: Jordan still goalless
The Köpenick fans are eagerly waiting for striker Jordan’s first goal. “There are a few things he has to do better, including in the final third. But we have to support him better. “In the game in the final third, we shouldn’t think that it should all come from Jordan,” Svensson appealed to the entire team.
With a win, the Union team, who are currently unbeaten at home, could overtake BVB in the table. Kevin Volland, Josip Juranovic and new signing Ivan Prtajin are still missing from the Iron Men.
