Borussia Dortmund – TSG Hoffenheim: Harm Osmers whistles the game
Osmers made his debut in the Bundesliga in 2016. But it would still be a year before he made his first appearance in Dortmund. On December 16, 2017, he refereed BVB's 2-1 win against Hoffenheim, and almost a year later he was assigned to the same duel again, which ended 1-1 in Sinsheim. And last year he was also at the whistle when the two Bundesliga teams met in the DFB Cup. On Sunday (December 15th, 5:30 p.m.) he will also be in charge of Borussia's last home game of this calendar year.

The Hanover native made his last appearance on November 30th in a 2-2 draw between his hometown of Bremen and VfB Stuttgart.
