Jadon Sancho starts for Dortmund for the first time since spring break. It looks like Thorgan Hazard will play as a duplicitious nine in the absence of Erling Haaland.
SC Paderborn 07 (possible 3-4-2-1) Zingerle; Strohdiek, Hunemeier, Schonlau; Drager, Vasiliadis, Holtmann, Collins; Srbeny, Antwi-Adjei; Mamba.
Substitutes: Huth, Jans, Ritter, Proger, Sabiri, Evans, Michel, Zolinski, Jastrzembski.
Hello. That low squeak you’ve been hearing since Tuesday night is the air coming out of Borussia Dortmund’s season. The 1-0 defeat to Bayern Munich ended their title hopes at a stroke, and now all they have to play for is the usual Champions League place. It’s quite a comedown for a team that has spent much of the the season dreaming of a first Championship since 2012. If they hadn’t seen such riches, they could live with being poor.
The fight for those Champions League places is seriously tight. If Gladbach beat Union Berlin in the early game – they lead 3-1 after 70 minutes – there will be only two points separating Dortmund in second and Leipzig in fifth. Dortmund have a pretty good run-in, though, with three of their last six games against teams in the bottom four.
