ESSEN, Germany (Interstat) — Borussia Dortmund looks to extend its strong form when it visits SGS Essen II on Monday, May 25, 2026, in a Regionalliga women’s football match.

Dortmund enters the contest after a 3-1 win over Gütersloh on Sunday, May 17, and has won four of its last five games. The team’s only loss in that stretch was a 1-0 defeat at Borussia Mönchengladbach II on May 3. Dortmund’s attack has been potent: it scored three goals in three of its past four victories, including a 3-0 win at Fortuna Köln on May 8 and a 3-2 decision over Eintracht Frankfurt on the same day.

Early-season struggles, however, included a 5-1 blowout loss at Augsburg on March 27 and a 1-0 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen on April 11. Overall, Dortmund has compiled a 7-3-0 record in its last 10 matches, outscoring opponents 21-10.

SGS Essen II, meanwhile, has had an inconsistent campaign. Its most recent result was a 3-1 loss at 1. FFC Recklinghausen on May 16. The team did post an emphatic 5-0 win at Borussia Mönchengladbach II on May 10, but that victory was bookended by a 6-1 home loss to 1. FC Köln on May 3 and the Recklinghausen defeat.

Essen’s season has featured wide swings: a 4-1 loss to Arminia Bielefeld in November, a 3-3 draw with Köln in October and a 2-3 loss to Bayer Leverkusen in October. The team has allowed multiple goals in seven of its last nine outings.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 3-2 win for Borussia Dortmund. Kickoff is Monday evening at Stadion an der Hafenstraße.

Note: Both teams compete in the Regionalliga, the fourth tier of German women’s football. Dortmund sits in the upper half of the table; Essen is midtable.
