Arminia Bielefeld are currently 17th in the league table, and have lost three of their five league games. Frank Kramer's men have their job cut out for the rest of the season.

Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, will be reeling after their heavy loss to Ajax in the Champions League. They are 2nd in the Bundesliga right now, a point behind league leaders Bayern Munich. Marco Rose will be hoping that the Ajax loss does not have long-term repercussions.

Borussia Dortmund should win this game.
