📰 Team News: Borussia Dortmund

Mahmoud Dahoud (Shoulder Injury), Thomas Meunier (torn tendon), Donyell Malen (Strain), Gregor Kobel (Ligament Injury), Thorgan Hazard (Back trouble), Mats Hummels (Muscle Injury), Steffen Tigges (Fracture-dislocation of the ankle), Giovanni Reyna (Muscle Injury), Marcel Schmelzer (Knee Surgery) and Mateu Morey Bauzà (Fitness) will not be taking part for Borussia Dortmund manager Marco Rose.

We think that Dortmund could employ a 3-4-2-1 system this time and select Marwin Hitz, Emre Can, Manuel Akanji, Dan-Axel Zagadou, Felix Passlack, Axel Witsel, Jude Bellingham, Raphael Guerreiro, Julian Brandt, Marco Reus and Erling Braut Haaland.

ℹ️ Team News: Hertha Berlin

Hertha Berlin boss Felix Magath has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Dong-jun Lee (Knee Injury), Stevan Jovetic (Torn Muscle Fibre), Kelian Nsona (Cruciate Ligament Rupture), Alexander Schwolow (Muscle Injury) and Rune Jarstein (Knee Surgery) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

We are inclined to think that Hertha seem likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 system, starting the game with Marcel Lotka, Peter Pekarik, Dedryck Boyata, Marc-Oliver Kempf, Marvin Plattenhardt, Santiago Ascacibar, Lucas Tousart, Marco Richter, Kevin-Prince Boateng, Suat Serdar and Davie Selke.

🧠 Prediction

Our thinking is that Borussia Dortmund will probably get a lot of shots on goal and make them count.

Conversely, Hertha Berlin may well find it hard to make a breakthrough although we do think it’s probable that they will be hitting back at some stage here.

We’re therefore expecting to see a pretty comfortable 3-1 victory for Borussia Dortmund after 90 minutes.
