Predicted Borussia Dortmund lineup for FC Köln clash

Borussia Dortmund take on the high-flying FC Köln this weekend, looking to make it three wins in a row in the Bundesliga. 

There is a title race brewing in the Bundesliga and Borussia Dortmund will be looking to continue their push this weekend as they go up against FC Köln. Having cut the gap to Bayern Munich to just four points, the Black and Yellows will want to keep their run going heading into the international break.

FC Köln have European ambitions of their own, so beating them certainly won’t be easy. But this is a fixture that Borussia Dortmund simply cannot afford to lose if they are to have any chance of winning the Bundesliga title this season.

Borussia Dortmund will again be without club captain Marco Reus on Sunday, while Mahmoud Dahoud is suspended. But Mats Hummels, Manuel Akanji and Raphael Guerreiro could return to the squad. Erling Haaland could be in contention to make his first start since January.

Here is a look at how Borussia Dortmund could line up against FC Köln this weekend.

Goalkeeper: Gregor Kobel

Gregor Kobel has conceded only one goal in his last five Bundesliga outings, and he will be aiming to add another clean sheet to his tally on Sunday.
