Dortmund out to set the record straight in Hamburg

Resurgent Borussia Dortmund will be eager to break a recent jinx against bogey side Hamburg when they head north to the HSV-Arena on Saturday afternoon.

Four defeats in their last five games against this weekend’s hosts is a record Jurgen Klopp is keen to put right, while three points would also enable his men to pull themselves further clear of the drop zone and commence a convincing assault on the top half of the table.

The visitors will be taking nothing for granted, though, as Hamburg, who left the Westfalenstadion with a 1-0 win earlier on this campaign, are in dire need of points at present, lying just one above the relegation places.
