The Borussia Dortmund youth teams will be hoping to continue their successful start to the season with home wins this weekend.

Last weekend, the U17s launched a thrilling comeback to draw 3-3 away to Borussia Mönchengladbach in what coach Sebastian Geppert said ''felt like a win.'' The U17s now host SC Paderborn at the academy performance centre on Saturday, 26 September (kick-off 11:00 CET). Michel Ludwig, Raul König and Jonah Husseck are all still sidelined with injuries.

Meanwhile, the U19s face their first home game of the season on Sunday, with Alemannia Aachen the visitors to Dortmund (kick-off 11:00 CET). Coach Mike Tullberg's side will go into the game as favourites after their comprehensive 5-0 win over Preußen Münster last weekend. (wiwi)
