Ahead of the upcoming new league campaign, Dynamo Dresden will host Borussia Dortmund at the Rudolf-Harbig-Stadion on Saturday afternoon in a friendly.
Dresden endured an abysmal 2 Bundesliga campaign last season, picking up just 32 points from 34 league games and going winless in the second half. They lost 2-0 on aggregate against 3. Liga side Kaiserslautern in the relegation/promotion playoff. Saturday's game will mark the fourth preseason outing for Dresden as they continue their preparations for the new season.
Borussia Dortmund, meanwhile, enjoyed a strong Bundesliga campaign last season, finishing runner-up for the third time in four seasons. They have shown ambition this summer with the reappointment of manager Edin Terzic and the arrival of several new signings as they look to end Bayern Munich's Bundesliga stranglehold.

Dortmund, meanwhile, ended their campaign with back-to-back wins and have begun their preseason campaign strongly as well.
