Borussia Dortmund are gearing up for Matchday 29 in the Bundesliga, where they’ll host Bayer Leverkusen at Signal Iduna Park on Saturday afternoon.
Dortmund are flying high at the moment, with four straight league wins behind them. Their latest success came in a 2-0 victory away at VfB Stuttgart, with both goals coming in added time. The team sits comfortably in second place, well clear of RB Leipzig by 11 points.
Borussia Dortmund news
Head coach Niko Kovac will need to make a few adjustments as Dortmund aim to tighten their grip on that second spot.
Forward Karim Adeyemi misses the game through suspension after receiving a yellow card in Stuttgart, and his blistering pace on the break will be hard missed.
That could mean slight changes in how Maximilian Beier and Julian Brandt link up to support Serhou Guirassy up front.
Dortmund’s midfield remains stretched with captain Emre Can ruled out for the season due to a cruciate ligament injury.
Felix Nmecha is also still sidelined as he continues his recovery from a knee problem.
Young defender Filippo Mane has resumed light training, but this fixture comes too soon for him to feature.
As a result, the defensive responsibilities will again fall to Waldemar Anton, Nico Schlotterbeck, and Ramy Bensebaini.
Borussia Dortmund predicted lineup
Possible Borussia Dortmund starting XI: Kobel; Anton, Schlotterbeck, Bensebaini; Ryerson, Bellingham, Sabitzer, Svensson; Beier, Brandt; Guirassy
