Team News

Borussia Dortmund
Newcastle
  • Marius Wolf will be assessed, but Borussia Dortmund are without Emre Can, Mateu Morey and Julien Duranville here.
  • Felix Nmecha may move into the middle of midfield in Can's absence, with Julian Brandt starting in his compatriot's absence.
  • Jacob Murphy was forced off with a shoulder issue against Arsenal and is set for another spell on the sidelines, while Dan Burn is a doubt with a back issue.
  • Joe Willock returned to action in the 1-0 win over the Gunners and his return is a boost.
  • Eddie Howe is without Elliot Anderson, Matt Targett, Harvey Barnes and former Dortmund striker Alexander Isak due to injury.

Prediction

  • Borussia Dortmund will be reeling from their 4-0 thumping at the hands of rivals Bayern Munich on Saturday night. The German side sit level with Newcastle on four points after their win at St. James' Park last month.
  • Newcastle earned a 1-0 win over Arsenal on Saturday as they followed up their 3-0 victory at Manchester United with a solid three points. Eddie Howe's side are unbeaten in five on the road though they've only won two of those.
  • Dortmund will be keen to avoid a second successive home defeat and may respond with a point at home against Newcastle.

  • @neumi17 You are too obsessed with short term trends (and dribblings). If everything always continued as it is teams would always continue to perform the same - which is not true.

  • @stuckonautomatic You are obsessed with stating that I am obsessed about dribbling, which I didn't mentioned even once. So that is no argument and just means that your judgement is still influenced by certain emotions you have to statements in the far past. Of course the outcome of a game is affected by the latest trends of the team, which is why Whoscored always lists the previous matches here. And fact is that Dortmund has a big problem scoring this season due to a lack of creativity and firepower in their offense.
