Borussia Dortmund host Union Berlin in a potentially-pivotal clash at the top of the Bundesliga table on Saturday. Both teams will be aiming to bounce back after crashing out of the DFB-Pokal quarter-finals in midweek, as they look to chase down league leaders Bayern Munich. Indeed, Dortmund were thoroughly outplayed by their former manager Marco Rose’s RB Leipzig side at the Red Bull Arena on Wednesday, as they generated only two shots across the course of their 2-0 defeat.
Timo Werner’s 22nd-minute strike gave the hosts the lead, which they richly deserved after enjoying a dominant opening period. However, BVB somehow managed to cling on until the very end, with Gregor Kobel clearly keen to make up for his huge error in Der Klassiker last weekend by making nine saves. However, Willi Orban’s last-gasp effort finally sealed the holders’ progression to the last four of Germany’s domestic cup, with Dortmund’s only hope of winning a trophy this season now resting on their hopes of ending an 11-year wait for the Bundesliga title.
That job has become much harder after their 4-2 defeat to Bayern at the Allianz Arena last Saturday, with Edin Terzic’s side falling 4-0 down to their arch rivals inside the opening 50 minutes, after Kobel’s disastrous 13th-minute own goal had set the tone for a familiar defensive collapse against their foes.

Dortmund vs Union Berlin Prediction
Urs Fisher and his side continue to defy expectations every season, with the likes of Sheraldo Becker and Danilo Doekhi impressing this term. Union Berlin will hope that Fischer stays as manager for a long time, given how well he seems to be doing at the helm.
Borussia Dortmund will hope to get back to winning ways, although it will not be easy against an excellent Union Berlin side.

Dortmund vs Union Berlin Team News
Dortmund will almost certainly welcome Jude Bellingham back to their starting XI this weekend after only utilising the England midfielder from the bench during their 2-0 defeat to Leipzig in the cup on Wednesday.
Salih Ozcan is most likely to make way for the 19-year-old, but Terzic may opt to make no other changes, especially with Karim Adeyemi’s absence from the travelling squad suggesting that he is not ready to start after his recent muscle injury. Nico Schlotterbeck, Mateu Morey and Julian Duranville are all definitely ruled out through injury, while Sebastien Haller and Thomas Meunier are major doubts due to knee and back issues respectively.
