Borussia Dortmund host Fortuna Dusseldorf on Match day 33 with their title hopes hanging by a thread. Borussia Dortmund will be looking to keep the pressure on Bayern Munich in the title race by picking up three points against Fortuna Dusseldorf. Although the title race is all but over, Bayern do still face RB Leipzig and Eintracht Frankfurt to close out the season. If Bayern fail to win and Dortmund pick up three points it would push the title race to the very last match day of the Bundesliga season. That is something that hasn’t happened since Bayern took their stranglehold over the Bundesliga. Dortmund will still be without Marius Wolf and Marco Reus through suspension. Dan-Axel Zagadou and Lukasz Piszczek are back in team training and could be fit to play. Jadon Sancho missed all team training this week and is questionable heading into the weekend. Favre also hinted that Diallo had some fitness issues at his press conference but there wasn’t much detail given. Here’s a look at how Borussia Dortmund could line up. Goalkeepeer: Roman Burki According to BILD, Bürki will miss the Dusseldorf game. If those reports are true, Marwin Hitz will take his spot between the sticks. Losing Bürki would be a big blow for Borussia Dortmund as he has been one of their best players this season.<doc-sep>DORTMUND, GERMANY - MAY 09: Head coach Lucien Favre of Borussia Dortmund looks on during a training session at the Borussia Dortmund training center on May 09, 2019 in Dortmund, Germany.

The dream of winning the Bundesliga is ever so slim for Dortmund as a win for Bayern Munich will crown them as German champions this weekend. Der BVB are trailing the league leaders by 4 points and will need to win their remaining games and hope that Bayern slip up twice, to have a chance at winning the league. Bayern Munich have a difficult fixture up against RB Leipzig and a challenging final fixture away at Frankfurt next week. Borussia Dortmund will be hosting Fortuna Dusselforf tomorrow before the final game away at Borussia Mönchengladbach next week. Match information Location: Westfalenstadion, Dortmund Date: 9/5/2019 Time: 3.30pm CEST |2.30pm BST| 9.30am ET Recent Form Borussia Dortmund DLWWD Borussia Dortmund shot themselves in the foot last week after giving up yet another lead in the latter part of the game. Christian Pulisic scored a brilliant goal after beating 3 players and slotting the ball past Pavlenka. Paco Alcacer made it 2-0 after his trademark freekick doubled Dortmund’s lead. But as shown many times before this season, the team’s lack of ability to see out a game cost them again as 2 goals in 5 minutes by Kevin Mohwald and Claudio Pizarro left both teams coming away with a point. Fortuna Dusseldorf DWLLW Fortuna Dusseldorf are a team that is more than capable of causing an upset. Dusseldorf was the first team to hand Dortmund a Bundesliga defeat this season back in December. They also famously drew 3-3 against Bayern thanks to heroics from Dodi Lukebakio. But they have not beaten Dortmund at the Westfalenstadion since February of 1986. But even a draw is enough to throw the Black and Yellows out of the title race for good and Dusseldorf are more than capable of doing just that. Team News Captain Marco Reus and full back Marius Wolf are still suspended having picked up red cards in the Revierderby just two weeks ago. Reus is set to return for the final clash against Borussia Mönchengladbach while Wolf is done for the season. Hakimi is also out for the season with a metatarsal injury while Sancho is a doubt for unknown reasons and Zagadou due to his knee. Dusseldorf just have one injury problem Zimmer but other than that the team is fit and ready to play. Opposition star man: Dodi Lukebakio The Belgian international on loan from Watford has scored 10 goals this season and can be very difficult to contain. His speed and dribbling ability is one of the best in the Bundesliga. If he’s on a breakaway then you may as well just add a goal to the team’s tally. Jerome Boateng said that he is the toughest opponent he’s had so far since moving to the Bundesliga. The Dortmund defence will certainly have to contain a tiger in Saturday’s game. Last match: Fortuna Dusseldorf 2-1 Borussia Dortmund The reverse fixture was a frustrating game for the Black and Yellows as Dusseldorf handed them their first Bundesliga defeat of the campaign. Marco Reus had his goal ruled out offside due to an unnecessary run by Christian Pulisic which proved costly as the game went on. Lukebakio scored the opener after a defence-splitting pass found the Belgium international who proved to be too quick for Diallo. After being unable to break through the Dusseldorf defence, Jean Zimmer scored a screamer from outside of the box to give the hosts a 2-0 lead. The Black and Yellows eventually got one back after Lukasz Piszczek chipped the ball to super sub-Paco Alcacer who headed it past Rensing. It was not enough however and Dusseldorf walked away with all 3 points. Expected lineups: Dortmund: Bürki – Piszczek (c), Weigl, Akanji, Diallo – Witsel, Delaney – Pulisic, Götze, Guerreiro – Alcacer Dusseldorf: Rensing – Zimmermann, Ayhan, Hoffmann, Suttner – Lukebakio, Stöger, Bodzek (c), Raman – Kownacki, Hennings Final prediction: Borussia Dortmund 3-1 Dusseldorf<doc-sep>Borussia Dortmund survived a late onslaught by Fortuna Dusseldorf to claim the three points and take the title race to the final day of the season. Christian Pulisic gave Borussia Dortmund the lead in the first half, before Marwin Hitz’ howler allowed Oliver Fink to equalise for Fortuna Dusseldorf. Thomas Delaney restored Dortmund’s lead just six minutes later, before Dusseldorf were awarded a dubious penalty. Luckily for the home side, Dodi Lukebakio sent his penalty wide. Borussia Dortmund thought they were cruising to victory when Mario Gotze showed great skill to make it 3-1. But Dawid Kownacki made it 3-2 with less than a minute to go in extra time. Dusseldorf then launched wave after wave of attacks, but the Black and Yellows survived to earn a priceless victory. The result combined with Bayern’s draw against RB Leipzig means that Borussia Dortmund are now two points behind their title rivals in the league table heading into the final day of the season. Here are the player ratings for the Borussia Dortmund players from the game. Marwin Hitz (4.5/10) After a quiet first half, Hitz had a nightmare moment at the start of the second when he failed to hold on to a simple headed shot and the ball went through his legs and into the net. Hitz was then rather harshly adjudged to have fouled Lukebakio in the box. But luckily for him, the Dusseldorf striker missed the resulting penalty<doc-sep>

(Photo by Alexandre Simoes/Borussia Dortmund/Getty Images) Borussia Dortmund face Fortuna Dusseldorf at Signal Iduna Park on Saturday, May 11. Here’s all the info you need to watch online. For the second straight week, Borussia Dortmund let the Bundesliga title race slip through their fingers. After drawing with Werder Bremen, Dortmund dropped to four points behind Bayern Munich in the title race. Dortmund’s only hopes of winning the title rely on Bayern losing at least one of their remaining games. If Bayern win one of their final two games, they will win their seventh straight title. In addition to needing Bayern to lose, Dortmund need to win their remaining games. On Saturday, Dortmund host middle of the table Fortuna Dusseldorf. Dortmund were ahead of Bayern by nine points earlier this season. However, that lead collapsed due to Dortmund’s inability to defend. Injuries and ineffective play in the back four has forced Lucien Favre to constantly change his back four. Favre used another combination at the back against Werder Bremen and were held to a 2-2 draw. The lack of consistency at the back is one of the main reasons that Dortmund have dropped behind Bayern in the table and will likely be an area the club tries to upgrade in the summer. Fortuna have been one of the pleasant surprises this season in the Bundesliga. Dusseldorf started the season with only five points in their first 10 games and looked doomed for relegation. Despite the terrible start, Fortuna stuck with Friedhelm Funkel and it paid off. Dusseldorf picked up 36 points in their next 22 games to ensure they will be playing in the Bundesliga next season. Dodi Lukebakio and Benito Raman have both had strong seasons with each player scoring 10 goals. Lukebakio is on loan from Watford but should be a player to watch going forward. Only 21 years old, Lukebakio has plenty of room to grow as a player. The Bundesliga match between Borussia Dortmund and Fortuna Dusseldorf will be broadcast on FS1.
