Team News

Borussia Dortmund
Bochum
  • Giovanni Reyna is ruled out with a muscle injury, while Felix Nmecha limped off last Sunday with an injury.
  • Key defender Ivan Ordets is ruled out for several weeks with a shoulder injury, while Bernardo is also struggling with a knee injury. Koji Miyoshi is struggling with a thigh injury.
  • Erhan Masovic misses out tonight as his wife is expecting their first child.

Prediction

  • Borussia Dortmund will have one eye on their mouthwatering Champions League tie against Celtic on Tuesday ahead of this "Ruhr derby".
  • Denied at the death against fellow strugglers Kiel last weekend, minnows Bochum are still searching for that elusive first win of the campaign.
  • The visitors have failed to keep a clean sheet in 20 games so back the home side to comfortably win this derby with goals at both ends.
