Edin Terzic's side continued their good run of form last time out. Karim Adeyemi's first Bundesliga goal helped Dortmund on their way to another three points against Bayer Leverkusen.

  • Key Players

Borussia Dortmund - Karim Adeyemi

Since arriving from Austrian side Salzburg in the summer, Adeyemi has not had the best of starts to life at the Signal Iduna Park. 

The pacey attacker has scored just three times in 21 games in all competitions for BVB, in what has been a relatively slow start to life in the Bundesliga for the 21-year-old. 

 

However, after his goal last time out against Leverkusen and an assist against Augsburg three games ago, Adeyemi is starting to adapt to life in North Rhine-Westphalia and will be hoping to add to his first goal of the campaign against Freiburg. 

SC Freiburg - Christian Günter

Club legend Günter has played his football at Freiburg for over a decade now.

The full-back, who is also the club captain, has made over 350 appearances for the Bundesliga side, and is now helping in leading them to a Champions League spot, in what would be his biggest achievement at the football club.

 

He will be crucial on Saturday afternoon for Christian Streich's side. His experience in these games will be pivotal to any points that Freiburg take away from the Signal Iduna Park.
