Raphael Guerreiro vs Serge Gnabry

One of the most interest duels will be Dortmund’s star wing-back against Bayern’s star winger, Serge Gnabry. Guerreiro isn’t known for his defensive prowess, but he is a world class left-back who will have his hands full with Bayern’s star winger.

Gnabry has the ability to unlock defences with his creativity and blistering pace at ease so Guerreiro keeping him in check will dictate a lot of Bayern’s ability to get in behind the Dortmund back line. The unfortunate reality is that Bayern have a wealth of attacking options but Gnabry is someone who is always a threat in this fixture.

Guerreiro’s attacking threat is also something Gnabry will have to deal with, and the Portuguese international can cause Bayern a lot of problems if the Bayern winger fails to track back.
