Assan Ouédraogo (Hamstring injury), Antonio Nusa (Knee injury), Xaver Schlager (Knee problems) and Benjamin Henrichs (Achilles tendon rupture) will be missing for RB Leipzig manager Marco Rose.

In all likelihood, Leipzig will probably use the 4-4-2 system for the game, beginning the first half with Peter Gulacsi, Lutsharel Geertruida, Willi Orban, E. C. Bitshiabu, Ridle Baku, Arthur Vermeeren, Kevin Kampl, David Raum, Xavi Simons, Ikoma Lois Openda and Benjamin Sesko.

We are inclined to think that Dortmund seem most likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 system, going with Gregor Kobel, Julian Ryerson, Emre Can, Nico Schlotterbeck, Ramy Bensebaini, Marcel Sabitzer, Pascal Gross, Karim Adeyemi, Julian Brandt, Maximilian Beier and Serhou Guirassy.
