Borussia Dortmund will play host to Union Berlin in a Bundesliga fixture at the Signal Iduna Park on Saturday.
Dortmund have begun the new season just where they left off - they have lost just one out of their last 17 matches in official competitions. That defeat came against PSG in their recent Champions League group game. They are heading into this league fixture on the back of a goalless draw against AC Milan but will be looking to return to winning ways.
Union Berlin have lost their last six games in a row and will be desperate for points. They are 11th in the standings and need wins to climb up the table.
