Team News

Borussia Dortmund
Union Berlin
  • Nico Schlotterbeck went off in the first half against Bayern with a muscle injury and is ruled out. Mateu Morey is on his way back from a serious knee injury, while Sebastien Haller missed the cup game in midweek with a knee injury but could return to contention.
  • Andras Schäfer is ruled out with a foot injury, and Frederik Rønnow missed last weekend with a muscle injury but should return between the sticks. But barring late injuries coach Urs Fischer has an almost full strength squad at his disposal.

Prediction

  • Dortmund lost top spot last weekend after suffering their first defeat of 2023 to Bayern. The title-chasers haven't featured in a 0-0 draw in 115 games, a run stretching back to October 2019.
  • Both sides exited the German Cup action in midweek, but Union have 24 hours more rest and recovery time from their loss on Tuesday.
  • Four points behind the leaders, third-placed Union Berlin have been seriously underrated all season but look on course to seal a Champions League qualification spot.
  • Back Union to nick a point in a low-scoring game.
