Expected Borussia Dortmund lineup for DFB-Pokal tie against St. Pauli
By Tushar Bahl
Borussia Dortmund will be looking to qualify for the DFB-Pokal quarterfinals on Tuesday as they take on 2. Bundesliga leaders FC St. Pauli.
The DFB-Pokal is back this week and Borussia Dortmund will continue their defence of the trophy with a tough away game against FC St. Pauli. The Kiezkicker are currently sitting at the top of the 2. Bundesliga standings, so Marco Rose’s side simply cannot afford to take them lightly.
Borussia Dortmund have started their rückrunde with two wins out of two. They were at their ruthless best on Friday as they claimed a stunning 5-1 win over SC Freiburg. St. Pauli will offer a different type of test for the Black and Yellows, and it will be interesting to see how they deal with it.
Borussia Dortmund will have to make do without Emre Can and Gio Reyna on Tuesday. While Thomas Meunier and Youssoufa Moukoko are both doubts. Here is a look at how Borussia Dortmund could line up for their DFB-Pokal clash against FC St. Pauli on Tuesday.
Goalkeeper: Gregor Kobel
Kobel is likely to start in goal once again on Tuesday. Marwin Hitz could be an option if Marco Rose decides to rotate his team a bit. But the likelihood is that we will not see a lot of rotation considering the importance of the DFB-Pokal to Borussia Dortmund.
