Two of the teams in the top seven of the Bundesliga clash on Saturday as Mainz 05 take on last year's runners-up Borussia Dortmund.
Dortmund recovered from three consecutive defeats with a 3-1 victory over Napoli in the Champions League but they must start winning again in the league.
Mainz are on a good run of form, which includes three wins from four, but they will still need to be at their best to beat a rejuvenated Dortmund side.
For the hosts, Christian Wetklo could return to the lineup following his suspension in place of Loris Karius.
Manuel Friedrich should return at centre-back having not been registered for the Champions League, which could see Sebastian Kehl drop back out of the team with Sven Bender moving back into midfield.
