Tuesday evening will see Borussia Dortmund travel away to SC Paderborn for a friendly four days before the Bundesliga campaign resumes. The match will serve as a dress rehearsal for BVB ahead of their trip to SV Werder Bremen on Saturday.

Having returned from the training camp in Marbella the Black and Yellows are training in Dortmund again and now have a week in which to adjust to the weather and pitch conditions. The hosts from Paderborn have assured that they will provide the team with optimal conditions.

There remain question marks about who is available to Thomas Tuchel on Tuesday evening, as the end of the training camp saw a wave of personnel problems (absences of Reus, Götze, Sokratis, Bender). However, there is hope for Raphael Guerreiro, who played for half an hour in Thursday's friendly against Standard Liège and even scored a goal.

As SC Paderborn announced on their homepage, 11,000 of the 15,000 tickets available for the match against Borussia Dortmund – kick-off on Tuesday is at 18:30 CET – had been sold by the weekend. Coach Stefan Emmerling is eagerly anticipating the friendly: "It's a great challenge for us as a team. We want to provide a good performance and test our opponents." (br)
