LiveSoccerTV provides info to tune into the opening day of the 2018/2019 Bundesliga season starting on Friday, August 24th

With the Premier League, Serie A, Ligue 1, and La Liga already underway, the fifth member of Europe's "Big 5" will finally kick off this Friday. As tradition dictates, it will be the reigning champions of Germany to get proceedings going, and as it has been Bayern for the past few seasons dating back to 2012, it will be die Roten to feature in the curtain-raiser this Friday as they host Hoffenheim at the Allianz Arena.

Elsewhere, Borussia Dortmund will begin life under new manager Lucien Favre as die Schwarzgelben will again hope to knock Bayern off their title perch. It will obviously be much easier said than done as die Roten have turned the title race into a one-horse affair as of late, but certainly, Dortmund will try. Another team hoping to end Bayern's unchallenged reign as champions of Germany will be Leipzig, who since bursting onto the scene recently have impressed, despite the fact that the club was only founded in 2009 and only made its top flight debut in the 2016/2017 season.

Dortmund have made some interesting signings this summer, including bringing in Achraf Hakimi, Thomas Delaney, and Axel Witsel in a bid to improve their fortunes both domestically and in Europe. Die Schwarzgelben come into this game having narrowly survived a late scare to progress in the DFB-Pokal thanks to a late goal from Marco Reus, during which new signing Witsel also got himself on the score-sheet.

It was hardly the best showing from his side, but Favre will take the win and naturally will be hoping to see an improved performance as his side continues to gel as the season progresses. They'll also be keen to avoid an early slip-up here, as Leipzig notably picked up a historic win at Dortmund's expense two yeas ago.
