FC Ingolstadt 04 vs. Borussia Dortmund: Team News, Preview, Live Stream, TV Info

Borussia Dortmund continue their bright start to the new Bundesliga season with an away trip to Ingolstadt, where they will face a confident team led by manager Ralph Hasenhuttl. 

In what will be the first-ever Bundesliga match at the Audi-Sportpark, Dortmund will have to be wary of a recently promoted side who already have three points on the board after surprising Mainz and much of the top division with a 1-0 victory last week. 

Thomas Tuchel's side will be in a confident mood themselves after thumping Borussia Moenchengladbach last week, but a 4-3 win over Odds BK on Thursday night in the Europa League would have surely depleted the energy levels of some key players. 

Whether Dortmund still have enough in the tank to make it two wins from two this week is yet to be seen.

Predicted lineup and team news

Marco Reus' return from a short break through the week should be a boost to Dortmund's side, as the 26-year-old is expected to take up his usual position on the left side of the attack. 

Tuchel is still without right-backs Lukasz Piszczek and Erik Durm, meaning an improvised move on the right side of his defence will once again be required for Sunday's game. 

Danilo Teodoro Soares is the only confirmed injury for the home side meaning Hasenhuttl should have a clean bill of health to work with in his first home top-flight match of the season. 

The teams should set up as seen below:

Key players to watch

Dortmund have a wealth of attacking options throughout Tuchel's squad, yet the real threat to Ingolstadt is undoubtedly the fresh legs of Reus.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Shinji Kagawa may look a little heavy on the ball on Sunday following a hard-fought win through the week, but the Germany international will be fully fit and ready to pick up the slack if Dortmund begin to look sloppy. 

The home side will hope to hit Dortmund just as hard as the former German champions will hit them, and striker Lukas Hinterseer will be at the focal point of such an attack. The Austrian striker bagged nine goals in the 2.Bundesliga last season and hasn't wasted any time in this new campaign, with a goal in the opening game against Mainz.
