SHOWS:

PADERBORN, GERMANY (MAY 29, 2020) (SC PADERBORN HANDOUT - ACCESS ALL)

1. SC PADERBORN COACH STEFFEN BAUMGART AT NEWS CONFERENCE

2. (SOUNDBITE) (German) SC PADERBORN COACH, STEFFEN BAUMGART, SAYING:

"We will play an opponent whose quality we don't need to discuss. I am really looking forward to the game and the team coming here form a soccer point of view. It's one of the best teams we have and they are a big challenge for us, like every weekend. We want to play courageously, similar to the first leg. We want to look for opportunities. For those who saw the first leg the start was ideal but the second half then revealed Dortmund's strengths."

3. SPOKESMAN SPEAKING

4. (SOUNDBITE) (German) SC PADERBORN COACH, STEFFEN BAUMGART, SAYING:

"We have the worst starting position. We are the team with the biggest gap but we are still here and we want to show that, also against Dortmund. I would imagine that most people don't have too much confidence in us . We are confident and that's how we intend to play. That's why we will enter this game like we always do, with full speed ahead and we will try to win."

DORTMUND, GERMANY (MAY 29, 2020) (BORUSSIA DORTMUND HANDOUT - ACCESS ALL)

5. DORTMUND COACH LUCIEN FAVRE, WEARING BLACK FACE MASK WITH DORTMUND LOGO, ARRIVING FOR NEWS CONFERENCE

6. (SOUNDBITE) (German) DORTMUND COACH, LUCIEN FAVRE, SAYING:

"We want to move ahead, like in the second round and 'after' (gestures) coronavirus, just like against Schalke, against Wolfsburg and against Bayern. Those six games will be very, very difficult. We know that. We have to concentrate on the next game, game after game."

7. VARIOUS OF DORTMUND TRAINING

8. (SOUNDBITE) (German) DORTMUND COACH, LUCIEN FAVRE, SAYING:

"Of course all teams would prefer to play with spectators. In Dortmund, the situation is very special: we are playing in front of 80 or 81,000 spectators in front of the yellow wall (gestures) and of course this helps us. But it's the same for both teams. We are playing without spectators away and at home and we have to prepare ourselves very carefully. Concentration is very, very important for the team and the players. That's the most important thing for me."

9. VARIOUS OF DORTMUND TRAINING

10. (SOUNDBITE) (German) DORTMUND SPORTS DIRECTOR, MICHAEL ZORC, SAYING:

"Let's take Tuesday's game (against Bayern): I would have wished for our fans in the second half because I believe this can create dynamics and processes which we did not show on Tuesday. We could have used that support well (smiles). Sometimes the opponent is driven to making mistakes and your own team gets lifted up and that's not the case right now."

11. VARIOUS OF DORTMUND TRAINING

12. (SOUNDBITE) (German) DORTMUND SPORTS DIRECTOR, MICHAEL ZORC, SAYING:

"Juergen Klopp called and asked about the organisation. (pauses) I had discussions with representatives from top clubs in Spain where the question was how our injured situation looked after we took up training again. I think those problems will be the same in all leagues. We permanently have 3, 4 or 5 players who are more or less injured and that appears to be the case in other leagues and clubs as well."

13. DORTMUND TRAINING

STORY: Borussia Dortmund's prolific teenage striker Erling Haaland will miss their next Bundesliga match at Paderborn while Mo Dahoud has been ruled out for the rest of the season just as he was finding his form, according to coach Lucien Favre.

Haaland, who has scored 10 goals in 11 Bundesliga appearances since his move from Salzburg in January, has a knee problem while Dahoud has an "unspecified knee injury", Favre told reporters ahead of Sunday's game away to the Bundesliga's bottom-placed side.

Second-placed Dortmund have dropped seven points behind leaders Bayern Munich after their 1-0 home defeat against the Bavarians on Tuesday.
