Dortmund host Bochum at the Signal Iduna Park. Edin Terzic’ side completed their champions league group stage duties with a draw away in Copenhagen, clinching the second place in the standings and awaiting to learn their rival on Monday. With regards to their domestic exploits, two important back-to-back victories against Stuttgart and Eintracht have put their league campaign back on track, with the Westphalians being fourth in the standings and a mere four points off top place. They have also been in an excellent groove lately, counting five games unbeaten and keeping clean sheets in three of them. On the downside, in what looks like their trademark shortcoming, injuries have plagued the team once again, with the likes of Reus, Haller, Dahoud, Guerreiro, Meunier and Wolf being out injured. 

Bochum were demolished at the Volkswagen Arena on Saturday, with their 4-0 capitulation by Wolfsburg keeping them in the penultimate place of the Bundesliga standings. The visitors have actually been in a good run lately, managing to beat table toppers Union Berlin and Eintracht at home, but they have plenty of work to do if they want to contend survival. They have the worst defence of the division (thirty-two goals conceded in twelve league games) and have lost six of their last seven league games, conceding at least three goals in five of them. On the upside, Bochum boast a commendable and even rare record at the ferocious Signal Iduna Park. They have won each of their last three away meetings against Dortmund, losing just twice in their previous seven there.
