Title-chasers Borussia Dortmund welcome a struggling Greuther Fürth side to the Signal Iduna Park for matchday 16 of the Bundesliga. The hosts will be looking to bounce back after consecutive disappointments in the league, losing Der Klassiker to Bayern then drawing 1-1 away to promoted VfL Bochum. The away side have endured a torrid second-stint in the Bundesliga and they currently sit rock bottom of the league with just four points - winning only one match this season, drawing one and losing 13. This could very well be a case of Dortmund picking their number against a Greuther Fürth side which has conceded an astonishing 31 away goals and lost all of their away fixtures. Dortmund’s home form has been strong this season. Der BVB have won seven of their eight home league encounters, scoring 23 goals and amassing a goal differential of +11. The away side should be in high spirits though, as they are coming off their first win of the season. Stefan Leitl’s side were able to scrape a 1-0 win against Union Berlin on Sunday.

After missing a little over a month due to injury, Erling Haaland is back and in goal scoring form. The coveted young striker has come off the bench in the last few games as he looks to regain his fitness but that hasn’t limited his productivity, netting four goals and one assist over the last four matches. The Norwegian machine has now tallied 11 goals across just nine games this season. He will be a huge threat for the Cloverleaves on Wednesday and Haaland is certainly eyeing this fixture as an opportunity to close the gap on leading scorer Robert Lewandowski’s 16 goals.
