Team News

Borussia Dortmund
  • With Ilkay Gündogan still doubtful for the game, Sven Bender and Sebastian Kehl could start together in defensive midfield.
  • Kevin Großkreutz, Ivan Perisic and Jakub Blaszczykowski compete for a spot on the wing.
  • Otherwise, manager Klopp is unlikely to make any changes.
Fortuna Dusseldorf
  • Starting centre-backs Jens Langeneke and Stelios Malezas are out injured, meaning Juanan and central midfielder Adam Bodzek will have to help out in the back-four.
  • With Tobias Levels injured as well, Leon Balogun could get his chance at right-back.
  • Robbie Kruse is likely to start up front again, with Ronny Garbuschewski filling in on the right wing.

Prediction

  • After three wins in a row, Dortmund are finally back on track in the Bundesliga and are in second place behind Bayern now.
  • Düsseldorf have found some kind of form as well, after four points from the last three games. Their defence has been more solid again, although it remains to be seen how the team will deal with their many injuries.
  • Expect Dortmund to dominate from the start. They are heavy favourites at home.

    Dortmund are likely to miss Götze and Gündogan as both have problems, Götze with his knee and Gündogan with a sprained ankle. Both should be rested for saturday when they face Bayern. Düsseldorf miss their important defenders Langeneke and Levels.
