Match forecast
The last time these teams played each other was in a club friendly earlier in January this year when the Black and Yellows won 3-1 thanks to goals from Christian Pulisic and a brace by Adrian Ramos. Ten months later, Eiserne are in strong contention for promotion to top flight football and they may want to make a bold statement in this clash by winning it. And considering Dortmund’s latest inconsistent run, Jens Keller’s men have a good opportunity to surprise the hosts with a win.

But the greatest headache for the Iron Ones is the venue of this match- the Signal Iduna Park is literary a slaughter house for many teams in Europe and it will take a unique tactic from Keller to win the game. Dortmund showed a strong will to go back to winning ways last weekend when they came back from 3-1 against Ingolstadt to secure a 3-3 draw thanks to Christian Pulisic’s late goal. Additionally, considering the hosts’ good run at home, the visitors have a very slim chance here.
