Predicted Borussia Dortmund lineup vs Bayern Munich
By Tushar Bahl
Midfielders: Emre Can, Salih Özcan, Jude Bellingham
Borussia Dortmund’s midfield trio did an excellent job of stifling Sevilla in the middle of the park on Wednesday. And keeping Bayern’s strengths in mind, Edin Terzic may look to go with the same midfield for Saturday’s game.
Salih Özcan has established himself as a regular starter since his summer move to BVB. It will be interesting to see if he starts as the lone defensive midfielder on Saturday, or forms a partnership with Emre Can in defensive midfield.
Emre Can will have a crucial role to play if he starts in the number six role. But if he manages to keep his discipline in check throughout the game, Borussia Dortmund could have a good chance of winning the midfield battle.
Jude Bellingham ran the show for Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday. And he will be vital to their hopes once again this weekend, especially in the absence of Marco Reus. His battle against Joshua Kimmich will certainly be one to watch.
