Sports Mole previews the match between Borussia Dortmund and FC Koln in the Bundesliga.

Borussia Dortmund will be looking to move into the top half of the Bundesliga table when they host FC Koln this weekend.

Having sat in the relegation zone just a few weeks ago, Jurgen Klopp's side have turned things around recently, climbing up to 10th with four wins and a draw in their last five league matches.

Last week's goalless draw with Hamburger SV ended their run of four straight wins, but the draw leaves them with just one defeat in the Bundesliga since the winter break.

The hosts will be mindful that they have a Champions League match against Juventus just a few days after this match, so may rest a few of their starters as they trail the Italian champions 2-1 after the first leg.

Defender Lukasz Piszczek is still out after injuring his ankle in the defeat to Juventus last month, while Kevin Grosskreutz and Erik Durm are also both sidelined.

Meanwhile, Koln know that a win this weekend will move them above Dortmund, sitting just a place and a point behind this weekend's opponents.

Peter Stoger's side ended their run of five matches without a win last weekend as they beat Frankfurt 4-2, despite finishing the match with 10 men.

As a result, the visitors will be without defender Kevin Wimmer this weekend as he is suspended after picking up a red card against Frankfurt.

Koln have reported no fresh injury concerns though, so will have the option to name an otherwise unchanged side for the trip to Dortmund.

Koln beat Dortmund 2-1 when the sides met earlier in the season.
