Expected Borussia Dortmund lineup vs Union Berlin
Goalkeeper: Gregor Kobel
Kobel will line up between the sticks for Borussia Dortmund on Saturday. He will certainly hope that Union Berlin's attacking woes continue this weekend. The capital club has only scored four goals in the league so far this season.
Defence: Yan Couto, Waldemar Anton, Nico Schlotterbeck, Julian Ryerson
We could see Nuri Sahin stick with the same back four following the impressive performance against Celtic on Tuesday. Julian Ryerson recently extended his Borussia Dortmund contract, and will hope to celebrate with a strong performance against his former club.
Waldemar Anton and Nico Schlotterbeck are starting to show glimpses of a strong defensive partnership and could start together at centre-back once again. Although Niklas Süle could also come into contention if Sahin decides to switch to a back three or wants to give one of Anton and Schlotterbeck a breather.
Yan Couto has also started to show his potential, and will hope to start ahead of Ramy Bensebaini on Saturday. Speaking of full-backs, Borussia Dortmund will also come up against the talented Tom Rothe this weekend. The 19 year old swapped BVB for Union Berlin this past summer.
