Der BVB got their summer off to a bang last week, beating Westfalia Rhynern 7-0 in Hamm. Marco Reus and Paul-Philipp Besong both netted braces, while Julian Rijkhoff, Hendry Blank and Prince Aning scored apiece on a goal-crazy evening for the Bundesliga giants.

Dortmund wasted a glorious opportunity to win the league title last season after drawing 2-2 with Mainz on the final day, allowing Bayern Munich to retain hegemony in the top-flight.

They had to win at home, and Mainz's poor form going into the clash meant a victory seemed almost certain, but Die Borussen choked under pressure once more.

Having also made early exits from the Champions League and DFB-Pokal, it wrapped up a disappointing season for Dortmund, who will be eyeing a comeback in the 2023-24 campaign.

The club have strenghtened their squad with Jayden Braaf, Ansgar Knauff, Ramy Bensebaini and Felix Nmecha signings. Thorgan Hazard also returned from PSV Eindhoven.

Meanwhile, Oberhausen have also been on a roll this summer. The minnows began with a 10-0 defeat of Mulheimer before another thumping 7-0 shellacking of SW Alstaden. Last Wednesday, their searing run came to a halt after Ratingen held them to a 1-1 draw.
