wouldn't it be likely dortmund takes saturdays game off

[gcd8]

they have already clinched number 2 spot, they have champions league game coming up mid week wouldn't they want rest all their players and just show up , they are playing a team who is desperate for points only 3 ahead of the drop zone, i know bayern seems to keep on winning in meaningless games but i wonder how dortmund will play sat, if there was any time for a let down game and looking ahead it would be this

Sat 4/27		166 Borussia Dortmund (GER-1)	-½ -145-1 +121-½,-1 -115	-144	o3 +109o2½ -144o2½,3 -121

will wait for lineups but think home side have a great chance get some points

Will rest most key players, was thinkin about dusseldorf +1 but theyve been poor recently. Shame tht its not a half decent side like frankfurt or stuttgart

yup, that's true. wouldnt trust dusseldorf against the dortmund reserve side.

I will go against Dortmund and Bayern Munich in the very next game, and off course to go with Arsenal and Chelsea in EPL.

[Vaughany]

Dortmund will probably have a similar lineup to when they played Augsburg in between the Malaga games. They still managed to win that 4-2, although it was at home of course.

Over is the play...pound it

Like mad coach Marcelo Blelsa, Klopp doesn't believe in resting players. Maybe 1 or 2 reserves may come in, don't expect wholesale changes.

When they played Augsburg in between Malaga games he didnt start Goetze, Piszcek, Blasz, Gundogan, Lewandowski, or Reus.

[Snepke1990]

Im going for Dortmund -1 here.

I think that the quality difference is still to big even when dortmunds rests some key players (Lewandoski, Götze, Reus) I don't think dortmund will give everything to secure victory, so if it's likely to end in a draw they'll let it end in a draw.

On the other hand, if they can get in a quick lead, and then extend it, they can just lean back and let the game bleed to death.
