Things seem to be looking up for Borussia Dortmund after a difficult period with injuries and inconsistent performances and results.
At least judging by Saturday's impressive 4-0 win over Freiburg, which saw key players Gregor Kobel and Waldemar Anton return from injury. Star striker Serhou Guirassy was ruled out at short notice, but even without him, BVB put in an impressive performance.
Now, the Black and Yellows will be looking to build on that win against Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League on Wednesday, before taking on familiar foes Bayern Munich at the weekend.
Nuri Sahin's side have fared well in Europe's top club competition, sitting seventh out of 36 teams with nine points from four games.
Dinamo Zagreb, meanwhile, have bounced back from their opening 9-2 defeat at the hands of Bayern Munich to take seven points from games against Monaco (2-2), RB Salzburg (2-0) and Slovan Bratislava (4-1).
Domestically, the Croatian champions currently sit in third place, having drawn two league games in a row.
On the injury front, Nevistić (back) and Sučić (metatarsal) are out, while Ademi (thigh), Mišić (calf) and Petković (adductor) are all doubts.
Dortmund will be hoping Serhou Guirassy returns from illness, while Adeyemi (thigh) and Süle (ankle) remain sidelined.
