Following their shocking defeat to FC Cologne over the weekend, Borussia Dortmund will be hoping for redemption against Lazio in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday.
The Black & Yellows are currently on top of the group stage after just four games played, taking nine points from a possible 12 while the Italian side occupy the second position with eight points going into this game.
Lazio were treated to a surprise result on Sunday, losing at home to Udinese in the Serie A by three goals to one.
The winner in this encounter will take up the first position hoping that the last round of matches would be enough to get them through.
Both teams are expected to field their strongest lineups knowing how important this clash could be for them both.
