Preview
Arminia Bielefeld come into this after a 1-1 away draw against Augsburg in their previous match.
Oxford’s first half strike was cancelled out by Laursen in the second half as both sides shared the points.
The hosts have not won a match in 8 attempts and are under pressure to deliver. They remain 17th in the table with 5 points from 8 matches.
Arminia is one of the two sides yet to win a match this season as well.
On the other hand, Dortmund could not back their weekend win as they fell to a 4-0 away loss to Ajax in the Champions League in mid-week.
This was their 1st loss in 4 matches and would hope to get back to winning ways immediately.
BVB is 2nd in the Bundesliga points table and will create pressure on Bayern Munich before the two sides meet in December.
The two sides met in the Bundesliga in late February where Dortmund won 3-0.
