Midfield: Thomas Delaney, Jude Bellingham

It will be interesting to see which two players start in midfield for Borussia Dortmund on Saturday. With Axel Witsel injured and Mahmoud Dahoud unlikely to be given a starting role, Edin Terzic basically has three midfield options to choose from.

After missing the Gladbach game through suspension, Thomas Delaney will make his return to the squad this weekend. He should slot straight into the starting XI, having been one of Dortmund’s better midfielders in recent months.

One of Jude Bellingham and Emre Can should start alongside Delaney. Against a team like Augsburg that will defend deep and look to hurt Dortmund on the counter, it would be better to have a more dynamic midfielder like Bellingham in the side.
