11th will play hosts to fourth in the Bundesliga midweek games before the World Cup break at the end of the week with Wolfsburg eyeing up a spot in the top half ahead of a meeting with the struggling Borussia Dortmund.
Although it hasn’t been the best season for Dortmund in 2022/23, it hasn’t been the worst either.
The club have ended up in the knockout rounds of the Champions League for another season and did so with relative ease, despite losing to Manchester City in Manchester when their former star striker, Erling Haaland, netted the winner.
The club did get a commendable 0-0 draw with the Premier League champions shortly after to secure knockout status in 2023.
Back in the league, however, things have started to shape out how they normally do in the Bundesliga, with BVB down in fourth and Bayern Munich now top.
The Black and Yellow have won eight games just like their arch rivals in the Bundesliga, but with four losses on the books, they are proving to be quite inconsistent.
At the same time, they have drawn once in the German top flight when they managed to snatch a point from Bayern in a stunning 2-2 draw that saw them score in the dying seconds of added time.
BVB beat VfL Bochum in the last game too, which does now mean a run of six games without the taste of defeat since losing to Union Berlin in the middle of October.
The club have beaten Hannover 96 in the DFB-Pokal, before a stunning 5-0 win over Stuttgart and a 0-0 draw with Man City.
A narrow victory over Eintracht Frankfurt and then a 1-1 draw with Copenhagen have put the club in a solid run of unbeaten form before the World Cup break.
As for Wolfsburg, they managed to get back in the win column with a 3-0 win over Mainz last time out, as they begin to look more consistent.
This should end up being a win for Dortmund. The club have been excellent at times this season, but with the games in the Champions League forcing a hectic schedule on the Bundesliga giants, they have struggled for consistency.
However, Forebet predicts the away side to win here after the recent run of form and Forebet predicts a Dortmund win and over 2.5 goals, with the club involved in a boatload of high-scoring matches already in 2022/23
