Expected Borussia Dortmund lineup: Questions aplenty for Lucien Favre ahead of Freiburg test
By Tushar Bahl
Centre Backs: Emre Can, Mats Hummels, Manuel Akanji
Even though Borussia Dortmund conceded three goals against Bayern, all three centre-backs actually had decent games and did not do much wrong. So it is highly likely that we will see the same back three that Lucien Favre has fielded for the first four games of the season.
SC Freiburg can pose a dangerous threat on the counter attack, so the trio, and especially Emre Can (who likes to venture forward whenever Dortmund are in possession), will have to be focused and on their game at all times.
The only possible change could be if Lucien Favre decides to bring Lukasz Piszczek in for Emre Can. Piszczek came off the bench against Bayern to replace Mats Hummels, but it remains to be seen if he is fit enough to start after just retuning from a back injury.
