Midfielders: Emre Can, Jude Bellingham, Mahmoud Dahoud
The Borussia Dortmund midfield has a slight modification for the Pokal final. Jude Bellingham missed Saturday’s game due to suspension and is now back in the starting XI. Two of Bellingham’s four goals this season have come in the DFB-Pokal.
This gives Terzic the option to line up with the midfield trio he has used time and time again this season, especially in the Champions League. Emre Can will naturally assume a more defensive role, thus allowing Mahmoud Dahoud and Jude Bellingham to move further up and initiate attacks as well as link-up play with the wingers.
Dahoud had an excellent game against Leipzig on Saturday, and he will be crucial to Borussia Dortmund’s chances of victory in the DFB-Pokal final.
