BORUSSIA DORTMUND V BOCHUM: HOSTS LOOKING TO SECURE SECOND PLACE FINISH

Correct decision from VAR - Pantovic's hand was in an unnatural position.

Wolf comes forward from right-back and crosses it bobbles around and hits a Bochum player on the arm - VAR is checking for a penalty.

It's not that Dortmund have started badly it's more that Bochum have come out the blocks flying

They have only won one of their last 12 matches against Dortmund but they find themselves 0-2 up already.

A reminder this is the new Revierderby as Schalke are no longer in the Bundesliga after relegation last season

Sensational - Dortmund are shocked.

Asano pulls it back to the edge of the box, Pantovic steps over it and lets it roll to Holtmann who bends it into the top corner from outside the box. A wonderful goal - great technique.

Polter found himself unmarked for that goal as Akanji slipped over in the box.

BVB boss Rose is fuming that his side should have a free-kick after a push in the build-up to that goal but nothing given by the referee or VAR

WOW what a start to this derby.

Asano whips in a great cross from the right and Polter heads in unchallenged in the middle of the box. Too easy. Is there a shock on the cards here?

17-years-old on his first start and he could easily score but it is saved by the keeper. Haaland who found him may have been offside but that's a big chance

Bizarre chance as Pantovic tackles Zagadou and it flies just wide and had Hitz worried

We're underway in Dortmund

Atmoshpere is building at the Signal Iduna Park and we're nearly ready for kick-off

Bochum have picked up 25 of their 36 points at home and 10 of their 15 league matches have ended in defeat.

It will be tough for them to get something out the game this afternoon.

Barring any dramatic end of season miracles, Bochum should be in the Bundesliga for another year. They won the second tier in the previous campaign and to come up and keep their top flight status means it's been a successful year for them.

They sit 13th in the table and have not really been dragged into a relegation battle at any point. Thomas Reis' team have dropped off a little in recent weeks though failing to score in any of their last three matches.

Marco Rose's side loss to Bayern Munich last weekend, 3-1, handed them their 10th consecutive Bundesliga title.

Now Dortmund are playing to secure second place and at least a draw today would seal that but it is another season where they fall short of Bayern, they are trophy-less and failed to get far in Europe. Slightly disappointing.

Ex-Arsenal man Takuma Asano is in the lineup.

17-year-old English attacker Jamie Bynoe-Gittens starts.
