Borussia Dortmund will be looking to make it three wins on the spin since returning from the winter break when they welcome VfL Bochum to Signal Iduna Park in the Bundesliga on Sunday evening.
BVB have come out all guns blazing following the resumption of the Bundesliga post-winter break, winning both of their games against Darmstadt (3-0) and FC Cologne (4-0) away from home, racking up seven goals and conceding none along the way. This leaves them just outside the top four on goal difference only.
Bochum have also enjoyed an impressive start to 2024. Thomas Letsch's side followed up a well-deserved 1-1 draw against Werder Bremen by stunning third-placed Stuttgart 1-0 last weekend, moving up to 14th place in the Bundesliga.
