Predicted Borussia Dortmund lineup for VfL Bochum clash

Borussia Dortmund take on VfL Bochum in the Bundesliga this weekend, looking to secure a second place finish in the standings.

Borussia Dortmund do not have a whole lot left to play for in their final three games of the season. But Marco Rose is determined to end the season on a high. And he will be looking for a response from his team in their local derby against VfL Bochum in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

Bochum delivered a spirited performance en route to a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture, so Borussia Dortmund certainly cannot afford to take them lightly.

The Black and Yellows have a host of personnel issues to deal with going into the game, with nine players sidelined due to injuries and Emre Can suspended after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season last weekend. Axel Witsel could return to the squad after missing last weekend’s game against Bayern Munich.

Here is a look at how Borussia Dortmund could line up against VfL Bochum this weekend.

Goalkeeper: Marwin Hitz

Marwin Hitz will start between the sticks once again this weekend for Borussia Dortmund with Gregor Kobel still sidelined after suffering an injury in training.
