Borussia Dortmund and Arminia Bielefeld go head to head in a David-vs-Goliath clash at Signal Iduna Park.
Edin Terzic’s men did well to crush Schalke 4-0 in the Ruhr derby, with the team keeping their Champions League hopes alive.
Borussia need to keep on making progress if they are to secure a top-four finish, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the relegation strugglers.
A man to watch in the home team will be Real Madrid target Erling Haland, who scored a brace in the Ruhr derby.
Arminia Bielefeld, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-0 loss to Wolfsburg, and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Borussia’s party at Signal Iduna Park.
In the first half of the season Borussia Dortmund recorded a routine 2-0 win over Arminia Bielefeld at Shuco Arena.

Team News:
Dortmund are likely to be without Manuel Akanji, Lukasz Piszczek, Axel Witsel, Thorgan Hazard and Marcel Schmelzer due to injury.
Emre Can deputised well in defence alongside Mats Hummels at Schalke so should continue there, with Terzic perhaps tempted to rest a few key players ahead of Tuesday's cup match against his confirmed successor Marco Rose's Gladbach.
Arminia, meanwhile, are set to travel to Dortmund without Jacob Laursen and Cebio Soukou, with knocks likely to keep both in the treatment room for a week or two.
Nathan de Medina replaced Laursen during the defeat to Wolfsburg, so the 23-year-old could receive the nod from Neuhaus to start at left-back.

Hitz; Meunier, Can, Hummels, Guerreiro; Delaney, Bellingham; Sancho, Brandt, Reyna; Haaland
Arminia Bielefeld possible starting lineup:
