Expected Borussia Dortmund lineup vs Werder Bremen: First start for Moukoko?
By Tushar Bahl
Defence: Mateu Morey, Manuel Akanji, Mats Hummels, Raphael Guerreiro
It will be interesting to see if Edin Terzic goes with a back three or a back four for his first game in charge. He hasn’t had much time to work with the team, so he won’t implement too many changes to the playing style for the Werder Bremen game.
No matter what formation he goes with, Manuel Akanji and Mats Hummels will likely be in the starting XI. The duo struggled against Stuttgart, but have otherwise been quite solid this season. Dan-Axel Zagadou is also an option, having come off the bench in the last two games.
Mateu Morey will be hoping to keep his spot at right-back with Thomas Meunier not expected to be ready in time to feature. Felix Passlack is another option, should Morey be in need of a rest.
Raphael Guerreiro should start at left-back after returning to the team on Saturday. But if he isn’t fully fit, Nico Schulz could come into the team in his place.
