Predicted Borussia Dortmund XI vs FC Köln: Haaland, Reus and Sancho to lead the line
By Tushar Bahl
Borussia Dortmund take on FC Köln in the Bundesliga this weekend aiming to build on their wins against Hertha Berlin and Club Brugge.
Everything just seems to be clicking for Borussia Dortmund at the moment. The mood in the camp is great, Erling Haaland is scoring goals for fun, the defence looks stable, and Jadon Sancho is finding his form again. Lucien Favre is spoilt for choice when it comes to picking his team every three days. He has done a great job of rotating his players and avoiding injuries so far. And he looks set to ring in the changes once again on Saturday.
Borussia Dortmund will be without Dan-Axel Zagadou and Marcel Schmelzer against FC Köln. While Reinier Jesus is unavailable after testing positive for COVID-19 earlier this week. Raphael Guerreiro suffered a minor thigh injury on Tuesday, making him a doubt for the game. But other than that, there aren’t any major injury worries for Favre.
So here we take a look at how Borussia Dortmund could line up against FC Köln.
Goalkeeper: Roman Bürki
Roman Bürki conceded two goals against Hertha Berlin last weekend, and he will be hoping for a quiet afternoon against Köln. The Billy Goats have found the net just eight times this season, but they do have some talented attacking players in their ranks.
