Predicted Borussia Dortmund lineup for Augsburg clash
By Tushar Bahl
Defenders: Marius Wolf, Mats Hummels, Marin Pongracic, Nico Schulz
With injuries continuing to pile up, Borussia Dortmund may well have to field a makeshift back four on Sunday. Thomas Meunier is injured, while Emre Can and Raphael Guerreiro are both doubts. So Marius Wolf and Nico Schulz could well start as the two full-backs.
Wolf was on target after coming on from the bench last weekend. And he will want to make the most of his chance in the starting XI.
Injuries to Manuel Akanji and Dan-Axel Zagadou mean that the situation in central defence isn’t any better at the moment. Mats Hummels and Marin Pongracic will likely start as the two centre-backs on Sunday.
Hummels has struggled with consistency so far this season, while Pongracic has not been able to make much of an impression. And they will have to be careful on Sunday, as Augsburg have a few players capable of causing problems to the Borussia Dortmund defence.
