Team News

Borussia Dortmund
Union Berlin
  • Kovac will have to see how his side react to their midweek Champions League exertions. Bensebaini, Anton, Süle and Chukwuemeka are all options up his sleeve.
  • Julian Ryerson is available after suspension, but Felix Nmecha suffered a knee injury and is ruled out until around the end of March.
  • Robert Skov went off in the first half last weekend with a knee injury, so Tom Rothe will likely slot in at left-back. Schäfer could start instead of Tousart in midfield, while new signing Ljubicic could start in place of Skarke further forward.
  • Christopher Trimmel is available after suspension, while experienced defender Kevin Vogt is fit again knee injury and a good option at the back.

Prediction

  • Niko Kovac is the new man in charge of Borussia Dortmund, but the former Bayern boss could not stop the domestic rot starting with back-to-back defeats.
  • After conceding the first goal, Union have failed to win in their last 38 games, but have pulled 10 points clear of relegation trouble following a couple of precious wins.
  • Dortmund have slumped to 11th after losing five out of six in the league, but showed their other side with decent Champions League performances against Sporting.
  • Union have lost on all five trips to Dortmund, so preference is given to Borussia on home soil to gain revenge for a narrow defeat in the reverse fixture.
