Akanji wants to stage Reus in the half-right offensive corridor with a volleyball from the center circle. The pass is too steep and is accompanied by goalkeeper Riemann into the goal.

Tooor for VfL Bochum, 0:1 by Sebastian Polter
Bochum takes the lead after almost 150 seconds! Asano is the addressee of a high shift on the right flank. Without defender pressure, the Japanese crosses to the central five-point edge. Since Akanji slipped, Polter is able to finish with his head in the middle of the net.

Starting eleven debutant Bynoe-Gittens fails on the other side after a Haaland cross pass from a central 14 meters to guest goalkeeper Riemann. However, his assist provider was offside in the run-up, so a goal would not have counted.

After 30 seconds, the guest has the first chance! After Polter’s through ball into the half-right offensive area, Zagadou gets the ball in front of Pantović, but shoots the Bochum player. From his right foot, the ball flies from a good 23 meters not far to the right of the target.

The blue and whites, who were on course for victory in the first leg in December in the Vonovia-Ruhrstadion after Polter’s penalty (40′) until Brandt’s late equalizer (85′) and whose defense with 45 goals conceded was the second best in the lower half of the Bundesliga table and stronger than that of BVB (46), coach Thomas Reis made four changes after the 2-0 home defeat against FC Augsburg. Mašović, Bockhorn, Pantović and Polter replace Bella-Kotchap (not in the squad), Soares (back and hip problems), Osterhage and Zoller (both on the bench).

On the side of the black and yellow, who welcome Bochum to the former Westfalenstadion for the first time since October 2009 and who would today surpass the end-of-season tally of the previous season (64) with a win (66), coach Marco Rose has compared to the 1-3 away defeat at FC Bayern Munich made two personnel changes. Instead of Reinier (bench) and Can (suspended), Witsel and 17-year-old Bynoe-Gittens, who is making his starting XI debut, will start.

Last weekend, VfL Bochum missed a first match point to avoid relegation by losing their home game against FC Augsburg 2-0, primarily due to two individual errors. With a full eight-point lead over the relegation rank, the promoted team does not have to worry about staying in the league if the current table 16 should. VfB Stuttgart have already won all of their remaining three games to overtake Bochum.

Borussia Dortmund’s first season under Marco Rose was unspectacular. After BVB was eliminated from the international and national cup competitions early on, since the recent 3-1 defeat in the top game at FC Bayern Munich, the theoretical chance of winning the championship has also gone. At the same time, looking down eight points ahead of third place is anything but frightening – the third runner-up title in the Bundesliga in the last four seasons is probably just a matter of form.
Hello and welcome to the Bundesliga on Saturday afternoon! Borussia Dortmund welcomes VfL Bochum in the west duel on the 32nd matchday. Black-yellow and brown-white will face each other on the lawn of Signal Iduna Park from 3:30 p.m.
