Bielefeld possible 11:
Ortega, De Medina, Andrade, Pieper, Brunner, Okugawa, Schöpf, Vasiliadis, Kunze, Wimmer and Serra
Prediction: Dortmund 2-0 Bielefeld
We expect a home win for Dortmund here as they look a more potent side despite the number of players out due to injury.
Bielefeld’s woes have left them wanting for more and that search should continue this week as well. They look a side lacking confidence.
Players to watch out for: Hazard, Malen, Wimmer and Kunze.
