Dortmund suffered a humiliating 2-0 defeat against second last VfL Bochum on February 15 in the league and come into the weekend in 11th place with 29 points, just five points and two places ahead of Union Berlin.

BVB coach Niko Kovac is expected to make changes to his starting line-up after the poor performance against Bochum, with Julian Ryerson and Salih Özcan likely to come into the side at the expense of Niklas Süle and Marcel Sabitzer, who both struggled on Saturday.
