Borussia Dortmund - 10th - LLWWL: Daniel Svensson and Felix Nmecha will both continue to be sidelined with their ligament injuries. Having made his return against Lille, Carney Chukwuemeka will hopefully now be spared from further knee issues and collect more minutes on Saturday. The rest of the squad remains healthy and ready to go.

RB Leipzig - 6th - WDDLD: Antonio Nusa, Forzan Assan Quedraogo, and German international Benjamin Henrichs will all be inactive on Saturday. Christoph Baumgartner and Lukas Klostermann return from illness. The same goes for former Borusse Kevin Kampl. Xaver Schlager will likely be on the bench for the first time after a lengthy recovery from his ACL tear.
