Predicted Lineups

Kovač has found the most success building up with three center-halves. The one game where he opted to switch the system was the loss in Barcelona. So I'll assume he sticks to the group that has worked, seeing as Gladbach also set up in a 4-2-3-1.

Borussia Dortmund - Kobel; Anton, Niklas Süle, Bensebaini, Ryerson, Groß, Nmecha, Svensson; Guirassy, Beier, Adeyemi.

Borussia Mönchengladbach - Cardoso; Ulrich, Itkaura, Elvedi, Scally; Weigl, Neuhaus; Hack, Plea, Honorat; Kleindienst.
