Team News

Union Berlin
Borussia Dortmund
  • Kevin Volland and Diogo Leite are both available after suspension, but Robin Gosens is on the naughty step after totting up five yellow cards. Oluwaseun Ogbemudia is ruled out with a broken foot.
  • Donyell Malen is on the naughty step after racking up five yellow cards. Sébastien Haller suffered an ankle injury during the AFCON final and will be out for several weeks.
  • Goalkeeper Gregor Kobel is nearing a return from a "dead leg." Felix Nmecha is back in training following a hip injury, while Jadon Sancho has adductor problems which need monitoring.

Prediction

  • Fourth-placed Dortmund slipped to their first defeat in nine games at home to Hoffenheim last Sunday.
  • Union featured in the Champions League group stages, and after a recent upturn in form, now sit eight points from relegation trouble.
  • The reverse fixture ended 4-2 in Dortmund's favour, and a similarly result is on the cards this time for the capital city side to push BVB Head Coach Edin Terzic to the brink.
