Predicted Borussia Dortmund lineup for 1860 Munich tie
By Tushar Bahl
Forwards: Marco Reus, Donyell Malen, Karim Adeyemi
With Sebastien Haller sidelined for the foreseeable future, Borussia Dortmund’s options up front are rather limited. Edin Terzic deployed Donyell Malen and Karim Adeyemi in a two-striker formation against Villarreal last week. And we could see the duo start up front again on Friday.
Adeyemi enjoyed a breakthrough season with RB Salzburg last year, and his performances for the Austrian side helped him earn a move to Borussia Dortmund. Now the boyhood BVB supporter will be looking to make an immediate impact at his new club.
Malen is going into his second season with Borussia Dortmund. And after his underwhelming debut season, he will be keen to show what he is capable of.
Marco Reus is set to start behind Malen and Adeyemi in the number ten role. The Borussia Dortmund captain is going into his eleventh season with the club. And he is closing in on a number of club records, which he will be determined to break this season.
Youssoufa Moukoko, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, Thorgan Hazard and Bradley Fink are the other attacking options in the Borussia Dortmund squad.
