BVB's 1-1 draw at Schalke in the Revierderby coupled with third-in-the-table Hoffenheim's win at Hertha Berlin means Dortmund start the week in fourth place, one point adrift of the automatic qualification places for the UEFA Champions League and five behind second-placed RB Leipzig.

Thomas Tuchel's side are unbeaten in their last six, however, and will be determined to keep spirits high ahead of Saturday's Der Klassiker with Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich.
