Undefeated team Borussia Dortmund (3-0-0, 9 points) is set to prolong its unbeaten run in the 2015-2016 Bundesliga as it clashes with lowly Hannover 96 (0-2-1, 1 point) at the latter's HDI-Arena in Hanover, Lower Saxony, Germany on September 12, Saturday.

Die Borussen thrashed the challenges of Borussia Mönchengladbach and FC Ingolstadt 04 in their first two games of the season with scores of 4-0 for both. Their last game was a 3-1 rout of Hertha Berlin SC on August 30 at their home field of Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

Team captain Mats Hummels, Gabonese forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and substitute Colombian striker Adrián Ramos provided the three goals for Thomas Tuchel's squad, as per BBC Sport.

Hummels opened the scoring at the 27th-minute mark, then Aubameyang struck first in the second half to put BVB up 2-0.

The Blue-Whites forward and former Chelsea winger Salomon Kalou answered with a goal in the 78th-minute to make it 2-1, but Ramos sealed the game at the 93rd.

Meanwhile, the Reds lost their last two games after settling for a 2-2 draw versus SV Darmstadt 98 in their opener.

Their last game was a disappointing 0-3 loss to 1. FSV Mainz 05 at the Coface Arena on August 29, via SkySports.

The predicted result is Borussia Dortmund over Hannover 96, 3-0. Michael Frontzeck's team is no match to Tuchel's especially against the attacking trio of Aubameyang, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, and Marco Reus.

Hannover 96 starting lineup (4-1-4-1 formation): Zieler; Sakai, Marcelo, Schulz, Sorg; Sane; Bech, Schmiedebach, Prib, Klaus; Benschop

Borussia Dortmund starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Burki; Ginter, Papastathopoulos, Hummels, Schmelzer; Gundogan, Weigl, Kagawa; Reus, Aubameyang, Mkhitaryan
