Borussia Dortmund reached the Champions League 1/8-finals after the elimination of Sporting Lisbon, but in the Bundesliga they lost their two last games against Stuttgart and Bochum. This is not how the new manager Niko Kovac imagined starting his Bundesliga career at the Signal Iduna Park. Now he needs to fix this and start winning as soon as possible.

During the week Dortmund made a 0-0 draw with Sporting at home which was enough for them to reach the Champions League 1/8-finals. Die Borussen played a good game and had a xG of 2, but somehow they didn’t score a goal. Still, it was a solid performance for Niko Kovac’s team – a proof that the Croatian manager could do some good work with this team.

Karim Adeyemi is among the players who could get a fresh chance under Kovac. He had some trouble with the previous manager Nuri Sahin, but now it seems that the new coach is trusting him.

Union Berlin approach this trip to Dortmund from 13th place in the standings. The team from the capital have won just six of its matches so far in the league. Union are having trouble to replicate the form that allowed them to play in the Champions League last season.

In their last match Union suffered a defeat – 1-2 against Borussia M’gladbach in Berlin. Andrej Ilic scored Union’s only goal in the match from a penalty kick in the second half.
