Team News

Borussia Dortmund
RBL
  • Jadon Sancho has finally recovered from a muscle injury in a major boost for Borussia Dortmund's top four hopes.

  • Mateu Morey will be out for several months with a serious knee injury.
  • Mats Hummels will return after his ban though English wunderkind Jude Bellingham is a huge loss in midfield through suspension.
  • Axel Witsel has torn his Achilles and will not play again this season, along with Dan-Axel Zagadou who has had a knee operation.
  • Marcel Sabitzer missed the Köln defeat but should return along with striker Yussuf Poulsen.

Prediction

  • Julian Nagelsmann starts his farewell tour with a rehearsal of the DFB Pokal Finale to be played next Thursday.
  • This constitutes a massive fixture in the context of a top four finish for Borussia Dortmund, who have edged to within two points of Wolfsburg and just a point behind Eintracht Frankfurt with a better goal difference.
  • RB Leipzig's title hopes are all but over but they are virtually assured of finishing in second to Bayern, a position Borussia Dortmund are only too familiar with during the past nine seasons.
  • Péter Gulácsi has a league-best 15 clean sheets, while Borussia Dortmund have scored in 42 games in a row in all competitions but have lost 10 times and are currently on track to miss out on Champions League football for next season.
  • With Sancho back Dortmund are a much more dangerous side and if Erling Haaland is fit, Dortmund can edge to victory to further close the gap to fourth spot. If Haaland is missing then it is a tough ask for BVB.
