The hosts, who sit second on 33 points, will be aiming to maintain their strong home record, while the away side are languishing in the bottom half of the table, having managed just 17 points in their opening 15 games.
Under Niko Kovač, Dortmund have shown remarkable defensive resilience throughout the season, conceding just fifteen goals in fifteen Bundesliga games; less than any team except Bayern Munich. They have kept eight clean sheets so far, which is equal to the club’s best result at this stage alongside the championship-winning sides of 1994/95 and 2001/02. Their last result was a thrilling 3-3 draw against Frankfurt.

The Black and Yellows have few fitness concerns, limited to central defender Aarón Anselmino’s persistent muscle problem. Players like Waldemar Anton, the experienced Emre Can and defender Nico Schlotterbeck are all fit and ready to play.
As a 29-year-old Guinean striker, Serhou Guirassy remains the focal point of Dortmund’s powerful frontline. This season he scored five goals in fifteen Bundesliga games.
Expect Karim Adeyemi and Julian Brandt to support Guirassy up top, with Marcel Sabitzer and Felix Nmecha anchoring midfield duties. Niko Kovač has a perfect home record in the Bundesliga, with five wins and two stalemates under his belt.
