CONFIRMED Borussia Dortmund starting lineup vs Werder Bremen
By Tushar Bahl
Defence: Mateu Morey, Manuel Akanji, Mats Hummels, Raphael Guerreiro
Edin Terzic has gone with the same back four for each of the last three games. And we are going to see the same back four take the pitch against Werder Bremen.
Mateu Morey has struggled in the last two games, and made a couple of very costly errors against Stuttgart last weekend. He will need to deliver a much improved display this weekend if he wants to keep his place at right-back.
Manuel Akanji and Mats Hummels will start as the two centre-backs due to the lack of alternatives. Both players have received four yellow cards in the Bundesliga this season, and will be suspended for one game the next time they are booked.
Raphael Guerreiro will also keep his place at left-back. The Portuguese international hasn’t been able to show his world class quality going forward in recent games. And that has somewhat blunted the Borussia Dortmund attack.
