Predicted Borussia Dortmund lineup for Mainz 05 clash
By Tushar Bahl
Forwards: Marius Wolf, Thorgan Hazard, Donyell Malen
Marius Wolf scored the winner against Arminia Bielefeld and will be full of confidence as a result. He is set to start down the right wing once again.
Thorgan Hazard assisted Wolf’s goal on Sunday and should also keep his place in the starting XI. The Belgian international’s future has also come under doubt in recent weeks, and he will be looking to deliver a strong performance on Wednesday.
Donyell Malen was unlucky not to score on Sunday. He is continuing to get better and better, and will have a key role to play in the coming weeks. He will be aiming to find the back of the net against Mainz.
It will be interesting to see if Marco Rose decides to play Erling Haaland from the start on Wednesday. The Norwegian international played 30 minutes at the weekend, but was sidelined for quite a while before his return.
Like Haaland, Gio Reyna is also working his way back to full fitness and is unlikely to be ready to play from the start just yet.
