Midfield: Achraf Hakimi, Emre Can, Axel Witsel, Raphael Guerreiro

Unless there are any injuries in training Favre shouldn’t be rotating these spots. Guerreiro and Hakimi are the best wing-back/midfield options by far, Nico Schulz doesn’t bring the same creativity or ability to transport the ball down the field as Guerreiro.

Axel Witsel and Emre Can dominated the PSG midfield in the first leg and they will be looking to do the same in this game. The combination of Witsel and Can have helped solidify Dortmund’s defense from central midfield a lot in recent weeks.

They don’t offer the most creative offensive options but Dortmund have plenty of attacking power to pick up the slack in that department.
