Dortmund take on Galatasaray at Signal-Iduna-Park in Champions League - Group Stage. This is Group D - 4th round. In addition to these teams in the group are Arsenal and Anderlecht. This will be a very exciting match. So, over 80, 000 football fans will witness the spectacle on the Signal-Iduna-Park, when a Champion League match between the hosts Borussia Dortmund, and Galatasaray will be played. In any event, the hosts are great crisis at the beginning of the new season in the Bundesliga. At one time they had more players in the hospital than in the field. It's their biggest problem. However, they have excellent results in the Champions League. Otherwise, they have an important match in the Bundesliga for three days against Hannover at home. Anyway, Borussia Dortmund continued their poor run of domestic form in the Bundesliga with a truly narrow 2-1 defeat to the hosts Bayern Munich. Jürgen Klopp's men created numerous chances and had sixteen shots against Cologne's five. Ilkay Gundogan returned to action for Borussia Dortmund's, but could not prevent his side from conceding two goals. BVB dropped to 14th on seven points after their third consecutive defeat. They are just three points above bottom club Werder Bremen. In contrast to their recent performances Bundesliga, Dortmund have six points from possible six in the UEFA Champions League. Erik Durm could switch to left-back, meaning Kevin Grosskreutz could start on the bench alongside Jakub Blaszczykowski, who is back from injury. Erik durm is likely to miss out for the visitors after suffering an injury during the warm-up before Saturday's defeat to FC Koln. Ilkay Gundogan, Marco Reus and Henrikh Mkhitaryan are all expected to feature after their recent returns from injury.

They have one draw and two defeats after three rounds. Only a win in this game would get the Turks back in the competition for the knockout phase. They know that, which is why we'll see them attacking the goal of BVB from the very start. The hosts have every right to be optimistic. After the 2:1 win over Kasimpasa at home, Galatasaray climbed onto the top of two Turkish Super League but was overtaken by Besiktas on Sunday evening. However, Cesare Prandelli's side have picked up just one point from their two Champions League fixtures this season. So the Turks are in danger of falling short to Galatasaray's target of reaching the Champions League round of last sixteen after the 4-1 away defeat against Arsenal. Before that, Galatasaray were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Belgian club Anderlecht in the opening group game. The Italian coach Prandelli has declared that he will select a full strength side because he has no injury worries ahead of the game. Meanwhile, Galatasaray hosts head into the match at the bottom of the group after taking just one point from a possible six. Despite their disappointing start in Europe, Cesare Prandelli's side have won three of their last four games in all competitions and will be eager to improve on that record in midweek. Gala have no fresh injury concerns, though Blerim Dzemaili and Felipe Melo are both one booking away from being handed a suspension. Otherwise, defender Semih Kaya (ankle injury) is doubtful.
