Football Livescore | Match Prediction & Tips
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Borussia Dortmund
Edin Terzic will be without the services of Julian Ryerson, Thomas Meunier, Julien Duranville and Giovanni Reyna. Meanwhile, there are doubts over the availability of Felix Nmecha and Mats Hummels. The duo are unlikely to be risked for this fixture.
Meanwhile, Karim Adeyemi and Niklas Sule are expected to return to the thick of things. Terzic will stick with the 4-2-3-1 formation, where Gregor Kobel will be in goal. In front of him, there will be a centre-back pairing of Niklas Sule and Nico Schlotterbeck.
In support of the centre-backs, Marius Wolf and Ramy Bensebaini will be starting out wide on the flanks as the full-backs. As for the midfield unit, Emre Can and Marcel Sabitzer will form the double pivot. The duo will look to dictate the pace of the game and ensure they have the majority of the ball possession.
Donyell Malen and Liverpool-linked Karim Adeyemi will star on either flank as the wingers. They will provide width to the attacks and also look to cut inside and link up with the likes of Julian Brandt and Sebastien Haller. Brandt will be featuring as an attacking midfielder while Haller will once again lead the line for Dortmund.
Probable Lineup (4-2-3-1): Kobel; Wolf, Sule, Schlotterbeck, Bensebaini; Sabitzer, Can; Malen, Brandt, Adeyemi; Haller
FC Heidenheim
Frank Schmitt does not have much to worry about. Marnon Busch and Elidon Qenaj are the only players who are out injured. Apart from the duo, he has the entire squad at his disposal.
The 49-year-old might not make major changes to the XI that took the field against Hoffenheim. But, there could be a change in formation from 4-4-2 to 4-5-1. The change will ensure they do not allow Dortmund to dictate the pace of the game.
Kevin Muller will continue in goal. Omar Haktab Traore and Jonas Fohrenbach will start outside as the full-backs. The duo will have a lot of defensive duties against Dortmund as they will have to take care of their pacey wingers.
In the heart of the defence, Patrick Mainka will pair up with Tim Siersleben. The duo will look to put up a better show than they did last time out in the league. Eren Dinkci will start out wide on the right, while Jan-Niklas Beste is expected to continue on the left. The duo will provide the width of their attacks.
Lennard Maloney and Denis Thomalla will retain their spot in the midfield, and they will have the support of Kevin Sessa who is expected to come in for striker Marvin Pieringer. Meanwhile, Tim Kleindienst is expected to be the lone forward for this fixture. While he will have the support from outside, the 28-year-old will have to fight a lonely battle up top.
Probable Lineup (4-5-1): Muller; Traore, Mainka, Siersleben, Fohrenbach; Dinkci, Maloney, Sessa, Thomalla, Beste; Kleindienst
