Marco Rose will look to topple his former club when he manages out-of-form RB Leipzig in this league game and it promises to be one of the biggest games of the weekend.
Super-talented Leipzig succumbed to a surprise home loss to Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League in midweek and that spelt the end to the reign of their former manager.
Rose has been one of the finest managers in German football and he would now look to get them back in form for this game.
Dortmund is looking to topple Bayern Munich in this campaign and they have started this term well, but Rose will feel he has a point to prove after they sacked him at the backend of last season.
They have recovered from an embarrassing loss to Werder Bremen and they are now on a run of three consecutive wins.
That means they have suffered just a defeat all season and that should help them get a result from this fixture, but it will not be easy.
Leipzig has won the last two head-to-heads between these clubs and they could return to form in this fixture.
