They have won 17 games while drawing four and losing ten games too in the process. At home too, they have a decent record winning more than half of the games they have won in total. They have won their last four games and have shown glimpses of their old self which had been lost somewhere through the middle of the season. Borussia Dortmund if they can continue what they have done in the recent weeks can finish the season within the top four which will guarantee them a champions league qualification and a top finish after the sort of mid-season they had.

Bellingham is on a red card and is probably going to miss the next game. Haaland, Morey, Moukoko, Zagadou, Witsel and Schmelzer are the other players likely to miss out the next games owing to injury concerns. Terzic has done a decent job in putting up a team to start winning matches again and could well start favorites from now on regardless of their position in the points table. Haaland has been in serious form while the likes of Sancho, Hammels, Guerrero are all contributing to the team’s cause.
