Dortmund vs greuther fürth. After the two setbacks though, Dortmund will head into the winter break in at best, although with favourable fixtures against Greuther and Hertha Berlin at the weekend to follow prior to the break, they will be expected to pick up six points with the hope of a rare Bayern slip up in order to give them confidence of preventing the Bavarians from recording a 10th straight title. The return of in recent weeks has at least boosted the Black and Yellows in front of goal, and the fitness of the Norwegian striker will prove pivotal in the title race, with him netting 11 Bundesliga goals in only nine appearances already to this point. © Reuters Meanwhile, visitors Greuther have given themselves the slightest bit of hope in their quest to avoid an immediate return to the 2.

With just a single point being picked up in their opening 14 fixtures prior to Sunday's home clash with Union Berlin, as well as a division-worst 46 goals conceded in that time, the Cloverleaves looked set for a miserable second-ever season in the top flight. The 1-0 victory over Union at the weekend came with a bit of fortune though, with 's side on the back foot for much of the encounter, but Leitl will not be too concerned however, with the three points being far more important and precious to him and his team. A trip to title-challenging Dortmund is far from ideal on Wednesday though, with the daunting visit of Signal Iduna Park providing little opportunity for Greuther to follow up their sole win with another, particularly when all four of their points so far have arrived on home soil.
