Borussia Dortmund vs RB Leipzig: Bundesliga Team News, Preview, Lineups

The under pressure and injury-hit Borussia Dortmund will be desperate to return to winning ways when they take on RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga.

Having lost four of their last five games, Borussia Dortmund will hope to get back to winning ways on Saturday evening. But a tough test against Bundesliga joint-leaders RB Leipzig lies in store for Nuri Sahin's side. Marco Rose will be out to heap more misery on his former club, with Leipzig currently on a five-game winning run in domestic competitions.

For all of their woes away from home, Borussia Dortmund have won all their matches at the Westfalenstadion so far this season. Even though they haven't always looked convincing, the Black and Yellows will hope to take some encouragement from that record as they prepare for what promises to be a daunting test.

Many fans are already calling for Sahin to be sacked, and the pressure is piling on the Borussia Dortmund head coach. He will not be able to call upon several key players on Saturday, with the likes of Karim Adeyemi, Niklas Süle, Julian Ryerson, Yan Couto, Julien Duranville, and Gio Reyna all sidelined with injuries.

Marcel Sabitzer should return to the starting XI to face his former club, and Waldemar Anton faces a race against time to be fit to play. Gregor Kobel picked up an injury against Wolfsburg and has been ruled out for Saturday's game.

RB Leipzig have a few injury problems of their own, with Xavi Simons, David Raum, Xaver Schlager, and Nicolas Seiwald all set to miss the trip to Dortmund. Leading the way for Leipzig will be the in-form strike duo of Lois Openda and Benjamin Sesko.

This game will have a lot riding on it, especially for Borussia Dortmund. And it will be interesting to see what approach they take against a Leipzig side that has plenty of quality in attack.
