Team News

RBL
Borussia Dortmund
  • Dani Olmo has a knee injury and will be out for at least six weeks.
  • Peter Gulacsi, Willi Orban and Josko Gvardiol all have adductor problems, which are being closely monitored.
  • Lukas Klostermann has a muscle injury, while striker Yussuf Poulsen is nearing a return from a muscle injury.
  • Alexander Meyer will probably make his Bundesliga debut in goal after Gregor Kobel suffered a muscle injury.
  • Jamie Bynoe-Gittens and Mahmoud Dahoud will both be out for several months with a shoulder injury.
  • Karim Adeyemi is expected to be fit, but Mateu Morey has suffered another long-term knee injury and will be out for several months.
  • Donyell Malen will not be rushed back from a muscle injury, while Sébastien Haller is ruled out indefinitely with testicular cancer. Thorgan Hazard has a thigh injury.

Prediction

  • Having lost 4-0 in Frankfurt and 4-1 in the Champions League to Schakhtar Donetsk, Leipzig fired coach Domenico Tedesco, with former BVB boss Marco Rose taking over.
  • Dortmund have won four out of five in the Bundesliga, with a clutching defeat from the jaws of victory against Bremen the only blip on the record book.
  • These two sides both played Champions League home matches on Tuesday evening with contrasting fortunes. No team though has an advantage in terms of rest and recuperation.
  • Leipzig won both Bundesliga meetings last season and with Tedesco tossed aside, a battling draw is the play here.
