THE TEAM NEWS
BORUSSIA DORTMUND
Niklas Sule, Mats Hummels and Nico Schlotterbeck are likely to fight for two places at centre-back, while Felix Nmecha could feature from the start again. Marco Reus’ recent good form should see the veteran retain his starting spot, as should Julian Brandt, who is battling Karim Adeyemi for a place in the XI.
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Kobel; Ryerson, Sule, Schlotterbeck, Bensebaini; Nmecha, Can; Malen, Reus, Brandt; Fullkrug
UNAVAILABLE: Duranville (Injured), Moukoko (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Morey (Injured)
WERDER BREMEN
Muscular injuries rule out both goalkeeper Jiri Pavlenka and centre-back Amos Pieper, with Michael Zetterer expected to deputise between the sticks in the former’s absence. Naby Keita is still not 100% fit and neither is the versatile Niklas Stark.
PREDICTED XI (3-5-2): Zetterer; Veljkovic, Gross, Friedl; Weiser, Schmid, Lynen, Stage, Deman; Njinmah, Ducksch
UNAVAILABLE: Pavlenka (Injured), Pieper (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Stark (Injured), Keita (Fitness)
THE PREDICTION
Borussia Dortmund were really starting to hit their straps going into the international break, having won their last four Bundesliga fixtures. It’s crucial that they have discovered their clinical edge in front of goal and this should give them the advantage over Werder Bremen, who cannot match their quality offensively, especially after Dortmund signed their star striker in Niclas Fullkrug just before the transfer deadline. Expect the hosts to run out comfortable winners here in front of their own fans.
TIP: BORUSSIA DORTMUND TO WIN
