Predicted Borussia Dortmund lineup for Bayern Munich clash
By Tushar Bahl
Midfield: Felix Nmecha, Pascal Groß, Marcel Sabitzer
Nuri Sahin will likely be forced into one change in midfield with Julian Brandt a major doubt due to the muscle injury he suffered against Dinamo Zagreb on Wednesday.
Felix Nmecha will once again start in the number six role having made the position his own with strong recent performances. The Germany international will face his toughest battle of the season so far against compatriot Jamal Musiala. And their match-up could well end up deciding the outcome of the game.
Pascal Groß could start in midfield in Brandt's absence and will look to play the Toni Kroos-like role just as he does for Germany.
Marcel Sabitzer is also set to start against his former club and will hope to make a strong impact in attacking midfield. The Austrian international will likely be tasked with more attacking responsibility in the absence of Brandt.
