Predicted Borussia Dortmund XI vs Arminia Bielefeld: More rotation in attack

Defence: Thomas Meunier, Manuel Akanji, Mats Hummels, Raphael Guerreiro

Borussia Dortmund don’t have too many options as far as rotation goes with the back four and considering the way these four have played last couple games, Favre won’t be stressing about making any changes.

Thomas Meunier, after starting the season on a poor run of form, has turned it around in the past two games, showing more of what he was brought in to do. Raphael Guerreiro has been exceptional yet again this year and will take his usual spot on the left side.

Manuel Akanji and Mats Hummels have proven to be a solid defensive duo in recent weeks. As the only fit natural centre-backs, they will be relied on heavily down the stretch here until Borussia Dortmund get Emre Can or Dan-Axel Zagadou back.
