Borussia Dortmund vs Arminia Bielefeld: Bundesliga Preview and Team News

Previous Meeting: Arminia Bielefeld 0-2 Borussia Dortmund
Mats Hummels was the surprise difference-maker the last time Borussia Dortmund faced Arminia Bielefeld. The centre-back scored two vital second half goals to give the Black and Yellows all three points at the Bielefelder Alm in October.
The Black and Yellows had plenty of chances to score more goals, but they lacked the cutting edge up front, with Erling Haaland missing due to a minor injury. It was an important win nonetheless, and a rare game in which Borussia Dortmund profited off of set-pieces.
With Arminia Bielefeld in a relegation battle and Borussia Dortmund in the race for top four, both teams will be determined to get a good result on Saturday. But the home side’s attacking quality should help them get the job done in the end.
