Predicted Borussia Dortmund lineup vs VfB Stuttgart
By Tushar Bahl
Defenders: Niklas Süle, Mats Hummels, Nico Schlotterbeck, Raphael Guerreiro
Thomas Meunier’s unfortunate injury means that Borussia Dortmund are desperately short of options at right-back.
Niklas Süle is expected to start at right-back on Saturday even though he has looked uncomfortable whenever he has been used in that role so far. Marius Wolf could also be an option if he manages to recover from his infection in time.
Mats Hummels and Nico Schlotterbeck are set to start as Borussia Dortmund’s centre-back duo on Saturday. They will have to be wary of Stuttgart’s attacking threat. The Swabians have scored ten goals in their last two games, with Silas and Serhou Guirassy leading the way in attack.
Raphael Guerreiro will have to be especially disciplined defensively, with Silas capable of causing a lot of problems down the right wing.
