Wednesday’s football match at Signal Iduna Park pits together Borussia Dortmund and Union Berlin.
Edin Terzic’s troops came from behind to beat Werder Bremen 4-1 in their last league match, with the team keeping their Champions League hopes alive.
Borussia Dortmund are four points behind fourth-place Eintracht Frankfurt, meaning that they face yet another must-win situation against Union Berlin.
The likes of Delaney, Sancho, Witsel, and Zagadou remain on the sidelined with injuries, but Edin Terzic can count on key players for the midweek clash.
The capital club, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Stuttgart. Union Berlin, though, produce much better showings at home than on the travels, which is the main reason why we are tempted to put our money on Erling Haland and Co.
All Becker, Awoniyi, Dajaku, Ujah, and Giesselmann are likely to miss the game through injuries.

Team News:
Dortmund are likely to remain without Jadon Sancho due to a thigh injury, but the England winger could return to first-team action before the end of the month.
Thomas Delaney missed the win over Bremen due to an Achilles tendon problem, and may not be risked against Union Berlin on Wednesday.
Youssoufa Moukoko and Dan-Axel Zagadou have both been ruled out for the rest of the campaign with shin and knee injuries respectively, while Axel Witsel and Marcel Schmelzer face a race against time to feature before the end of the season due to serious Achilles tendon and knee injuries respectively.
Terzic could make a few changes ahead of a tough trip to top-four rivals Wolfsburg on Saturday, with Thorgan Hazard and Emre Can potentially coming into the side having only been used from the substitutes' bench against Bremen.
Union Berlin, meanwhile, hope to have Liverpool loanee Taiwo Awoniyi available again after the forward recovered from a thigh injury, but Wednesday's trip to Dortmund may come a little too soon for the forward.
Anthony Ujah, Sheraldo Becker, Niko Giesselmann and Leon Dajaku are all expected to be ruled out, with Fischer unlikely to make any changes to the XI which performed so well in the win against Stuttgart at the weekend.
