VfL Wolfsburg v BVB: probable starting line-ups | OneFootball

BVB will face one of its favorite opponents in the Bundesliga on Saturday. In the last 21 league encounters against VfL Wolfsburg, there has been only one defeat. Back then, the coach of the Wolves was Niko Kovac, who is now coaching BVB and will likely decide on the following starting lineup.

Emre Can is a new absentee for Borussia Dortmund, while Niklas Süle is available again. With the following three players, the number of absentees is manageable.

The Kicker, which has often been off the mark lately, predicts these eleven players in BVB's starting lineup:

Gregor Kobel – Niklas Süle, Waldemar Anton, Nico Schlotterbeck – Julian Ryerson, Jobe Bellingham, Felix Nmecha, Daniel Svensson – Julian Brandt, Fabio Silva – Serhou Guirassy

However, it is noted that the offense could look entirely different, as Niko Kovac has many options to choose from.
