Dortmund vs Roma Prediction 15 August 2026
🔊 Borussia are closing out their pre-season with a home match, and the stakes are higher than usual: on 22 August they have the German Super Cup against Bayern, followed by the Bundesliga opener. So there is no time to ease into things for the hosts. For the Romans, an evening in Dortmund is also a final dress rehearsal - Serie A kicks off on the 23rd. Who has come into August in better shape - we break it down in our prediction.

Head-to-head statistics Dortmund - Roma
Borussia Dortmund Team Overview
Borussia's last match was on August 9 in London against Arsenal. The German side won (3:2) and claimed the first trophy of the season - the Emirates Cup.
The match stats were as follows (Borussia Dortmund vs Arsenal):
- possession: 43% vs 57%;
- corners: 3 vs 8;
- fouls: 16 vs 17;
- yellow cards: 0 vs 1;
- shots on target: 3 vs 8.
The Germans had a contrasting summer. They handled stronger opponents confidently - the 3:2 win over Arsenal alone is worth mentioning, the best match of the entire pre-season. The two slip-ups, however, came against lower-ranked sides: defeats to Cerezo Osaka (0:1) and Fortuna (1:2). Three wins from five pre-season matches in total, and most importantly, Borussia improved noticeably in their movement towards the end of the off-season.
Match Results: Borussia Dortmund
Roma Team Overview
Roma's last friendly was on August 8 against Brighton, with the Italian side suffering a heavy defeat to the English club (0:3) without a single shot on target.
The match stats were as follows (Roma vs Brighton):
- possession: 40% vs 60%;
- corners: 5 vs 4;
- fouls: 5 vs 17;
- yellow cards: 0 vs 0;
- shots on target: 0 vs 6.
Roma's preparation, on the other hand, has been worrying, and the numbers leave little room for interpretation: they conceded 11 goals in four summer matches. 1:4 against Cardiff, 0:3 against Brighton, 3:3 with Cannes. Against the French club, Roma also finished with ten men. Their only win came against Newport (4:1), but that was a completely different level of opposition. The attack looks fine, but the defence is clearly not ready for the season. Gian Piero Gasperini's men need to improve.
Match Results: Roma
Total Prediction
Trends- Borussia Dortmund have scored in 10 of their last 11 friendly matches.
⭐ Editor's Pick
The picture here is fairly clear. The hosts caught fire in the match against Arsenal, take to the pitch in front of their own fans, and need to put on a show a week before the Super Cup. The visitors, meanwhile, have failed to keep a clean sheet all pre-season and have conceded three or more goals twice. We are going with a Borussia win. Predicted score: 2-1.
