Bongarts
Stale Solbbaken will not be able to rely on Christopher Buchtmann, Adil Chihi and Mark Uth, who are all sidelined with injuries. Mato Jajalo is also set to miss the game against the reigning German champions as he is serving a suspension, while Lukas Podolski, who has been linked with a move to Arsenal in the summer, is set to spearhead the attack.
Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp will have a nearly full-strength squad at his disposal for the match against Koln, with only Julian Koch and Mario Gotze sidelined with knocks. The 19-year-old Germany international recently returned to training after a serious injury in January, but the BVB supporters will have to wait a bit more for his return to action.

| DID YOU KNOW |
Koln have won just once against Dortmund in 15 attempts since the turn of the millennium.
- The Billy Goats have the least number of shots on target from all 18 Bundesliga sides this season.
- Moreover, Koln have accumulated more bookings than any other team in the German top flight - 54 yellow cards and five red cards.
- Dortmund are on a 10-away-game unbeaten streak, and could break the club record set under Ottmar Hitzfeld in season 1995/1996 with a positive result on Sunday.
- Since Jurgen Klopp took over the team, BVB have won all of their games against Koln.
- Marcel Schmelzer scored his first ever Bundesliga goal against the Billy Goats in a 5-0 demolition of Solbbaken's team in the first part of the season.
Borussia Dortmund are on fire now, and are likely to a bridge too far for the struggling Billy Goats. Barring a Podolski miracle, Jurgen Klopp's side will easily stroll past Stale Solbbaken's team.
