Another disappointing defeat in Champions League for
Borussia Dortmund against Marseille (2:3) on Tuesday, despite a 2:0 lead. The young team didn't turn out to be ready for international football yet, at least had been far more successful in Bundesliga recently. After a difficult start to the season the German champion stayed the last nine matches unbeaten and even climbed to the top again, until played only 1:1 at Mönchengladbach last Saturday. Coach Klopp has a problem in defence midfield, as Bender, Kehl and Leitner are all injured. So Kevin Großkreutz, who was out of form lately, will probably play besides Gündogan on Sunday.
Just three goals have
Kaiserslautern scored in the last six matches and even so they had been the better team against Hertha Berlin (1:1) last Saturday, they could gain the equalizer only by an own goal. So the team with far the worst attack in Bundesliga (11 goals in 15 matches) still stand on a relegation position, waiting for the transfer market to open again, to sign a new striker desperately. At least Kaiserslautern's defence is quite solid, conceded only 19 goals so far. Away from home they didn't do to bad (1-3-4), even won at Schalke.

Even so Dortmund are not the most reliable side in scoring goals, a clear win with at least two goals difference is quite likely against a weak team from Kaiserslautern.
