"Starting with the hosts, while Borussia Dortmund might open this weekend's fixtures with just their goal difference keeping them in bronze medal position, the German giants are searching for some recent stability. Eventually forced to settle for a 1-1 stalemate away at Freiburg last time out, Niko Kovac's side have registered just a single win from any of their previous four appearances across all competitions."
"Shown a second-half red card away at Freiburg last weekend, summer recruit and former Sunderland star Job Bellingham will miss out through suspension here. Likewise, dealing with a recent muscle issue, Borussia Dortmund are once again sweating over the fitness of Austrian international Marcel Sabitzer. While Serhou Guirassy might have failed to record a single Bundesliga strike since the end of October, the former Stuttgart striker will lead the line on Friday night."
Borussia Dortmund host Borussia Monchengladbach at Signal Iduna Park aiming to arrest recent inconsistency after a 1-1 draw at Freiburg and DFB Pokal elimination by Bayer Leverkusen. Dortmund have won only once in their last four matches and three of their last nine, though they have lost just once domestically away since March. Job Bellingham is suspended following a red card and Marcel Sabitzer is doubtful with a muscle issue. Serhou Guirassy, winless in the Bundesliga since October, is expected to lead the attack. Monchengladbach arrive following a 3-1 home defeat to Wolfsburg and seek improvement.
