Midfield: Felix Nmecha, Marcel Sabitzer, Julian Brandt

The Borussia Dortmund midfield basically picks itself, especially if Can and Groß are required to fill in at centre-back. We could see Felix Nmecha start in the number six role, with Marcel Sabitzer expected to partner him.

The duo will hope to set the tone and dominate the midfield battle against an RB Leipzig side that will be without three key players in midfield in Xavi Simons, Xaver Schlager, and Nicolas Seiwald. 

Julian Brandt will start in the number ten role and will be crucial to Borussia Dortmund’s hopes of getting the three points. The playmaker has a decent record against RB Leipzig.
