Matchday 17 of the Bundesliga campaign sees Holstein Kiel host Borussia Dortmund as the two sides meet for the first time in over four years.

Holstein made history last season. The Storks earned promotion to the Bundesliga for the first time in their history after finishing second in the Bundesliga 2. Nine of their 12 league victories came at the Holstein-Stadion but that form has been lacking in the top flight. However, Marcel Rapp's men will take heart from the fact that all of their two wins so far this season came at home.

Borussia Dortmund continue to be average at best this season. The Black and Yellows sit outside the top seven and have the highest number of defeats among the Bundesliga's top eight. Nuri Şahin’s side hosted Leverkusen last time out in a bid to record back to back wins for the first time since November. They suffered their first home defeat of the season, losing 3-2 to the champions and will be looking to respond on Tuesday.
