Borussia Dortmund will return to action in the Bundesliga, hosting third placed Union Berlin as the two sides with top four ambitions seek to bounce back after elimination from the German Cup. Dortmund are second in the table but their opponents can climb above them with a win this weekend. The hosts are coming from a 2-0 loss to Leipzig in the German Cup, which was their second straight defeat and third in five matches. The momentum they started the year with has fizzled away and Dortmund come into this game with just one win in the last five matches. Much of their inconsistency has been fueled by a poor run in defence, with the team having conceded two or more goals in four of the last five matches. They’ve scored two or more goals in three of their last four matches, while failing to score completely in two of the last five matches. After playing four of their last five matches away from home, Dortmund will welcome the chance to play at home again. They have seven straight home wins and are unbeaten in 14 there.

Union Berlin conceded two quick goals in their last game, against Eintracht Frankfurt and went on to lose 2-0, thereby getting eliminated from the German Cup. That was the second time in four matches that they failed to score and also the second time in that run that they conceded more than a goal. The defeat brought to an end a run of two straight wins and Union Berlin will be aiming to recover with a win here. The biggest concern for Union Berlin, however, is the fact that while they have a poor away run, here they are set to face one of the best performing teams at home. In the last five away matches, Union Berlin have failed to win any, and scored just one goal in the process. Meanwhile they have conceded two or more goals in three of their last four away matches.
