Borussia Dortmund travel to Bielefeld on Saturday on match-day six of the Bundesliga as they look to build on their back to back wins.

Borussia Dortmund have won three in a row in the Bundesliga and will be looking to build on their current run of form against last season’s 2. Bundesliga champions. The Black and Yellows also enjoyed a 2-0 win in the Champions League against Zenit on Wednesday, picking up their first points in the competition.

The biggest question facing Lucien Favre ahead of this game will be which formation to go with. Having won their last two games in a back four, we will likely see him continue with his favoured formation.

Borussia Dortmund will be without Dan-Axel Zagadou and Marcel Schmelzer once again as they continue their recovery from their knee injuries. Emre Can will also be unavailable for the next little bit after testing positive for COVID-19. Lucien Favre said during his press conference that Nico Schulz will probably miss the game as well.

Here is how Borussia Dortmund could line up against Arminia Bielefeld.

Goalkeeper: Roman Bürki

Roman Bürki is enjoyed back to back clean sheets without having a save to make since returning to the starting XI. He had a few nervy moments against Zenit, and another poor performance could tempt Lucien Favre into giving Marwin Hitz another shot in goal.
