A few days ago I watched the friendly match between Dortmund vs BGPU, a club from Thailand, they were completely massacred by a not very well-known club. I couldn't help but wonder what was wrong with Dortmund? This is truly embarrassing. 4:0 is not a small number. Dortmund should be able to use this match to train their players and try to maintain their defense so that they don't concede easily, but the fact is that in the first half alone, Dortmund conceded 2 goals.
And today Dortmund will play another friendly match against Cerezo Osaka. I don't have full hopes for this match. It seems that Dortmund are not too serious even though this is pre-season at least to train their mentality, regarding the betting odds are below.

Dortmund previous two friendly matches showed how bad they were, first Dortmund had to be willing to be held back with 1 - 1 draw against Erzgebirge Aue and in this match Dortmund played very irregularly and well structured.
Secondly, as you have explained, Dortmund had to endure the shame of being completely slaughtered by team that was not very popular like BGPU with surprising results, these two matches are still bad start for Dortmund in the future.
Today they also just finished friendly match against Cerezo Osaka, in the first half Dortmund appeared very impressive by winning 3 goals without reply, but in the second half Cerezo Osaka managed to score 2 goals, if there were mistakes it might end in draw.
I had Dortmund as favorites and still got decent enough odds although there were concerns when the result of the match had changed to 2 - 3.
