Sabah FK vs. Borussia Dortmund preview: Team news and predicted lineups

In Sabah FK's upcoming Champions League match against Borussia Dortmund, the team's recent struggles have come to light. After a six-game winning streak, Borussia Dortmund has hit a slump, currently without a win in three games. Their latest match ended in a 0-0 draw against 1. FC Union Berlin in the Bundesliga. The pressure is mounting on Dortmund to regain their form as they prepare to face Sabah FK in a Champions League clash in Baku on Tuesday.

Dortmund's sporting director, Ole Book, acknowledged the team's recent difficulties but also noted signs of improvement. "We’d been on a better run before, especially in terms of results. It was a tough away game, and we may have lacked a bit of freshness," Book admitted. However, he emphasized that the upcoming match presents an opportunity to learn and improve as a team, particularly in the demanding weather conditions of Azerbaijan.

Team news indicates that Sabah is not expected to have any new injury concerns ahead of the match. On the other side, Dortmund will be without young player Konstantinos Karetsas, who suffered a foot injury during the previous draw against Union Berlin. Additionally, Emre Can and Giannis Konstantelias are sidelined with long-term knee injuries.
