Dortmund need to bounce back
After a heartbreaking loss with Bayern Munich last week, Borussia Dortmund's title hopes have slipped away.
However, they can't let their guard down as the fight for European spots is still going on at large against teams such as RB Leipzig, Gladbach and Bayer 04.
Paderborn with no margin of error
The home team will need a miracle if they want to avoid relegation to the Bundesliga 2 this season.
They currently sit last on the table with 19 points in 28 games. The closest team to them is Werder Bremen, who is 6 units away, and with only six fixtures left in the season, it seems unlikely they can avoid leaving the top flight.
Kick-Off Time
The SC Paderborn vs Borussia Dortmund match will be played at the stadium name, in Paderborn, Germany. The kick-off is scheduled at 12:00 pm ET/ 9:00 am PT.
