Predicted Borussia Dortmund XI vs RB Leipzig: Niko Kovač to name unchanged lineup | OneFootball

Niko Kovač is set to name an unchanged Borussia Dortmund lineup for their Bundesliga clash against RB Leipzig in the Topspiel. Maximilian Beier was the hero in Lille on Wednesday night as his goal secured Die Schwarzgelben’s place in the UEFA Champions League Quarter-Final.

It was just Beier’s second goal in nine games across all competitions, but the 22-year-old is set to retain his place on the left-flank ahead of Jamie Gittens, who has suffered a dip in form. The German attacker will make up a trio of Karim Adeyemi and Julian Brandt behind Serhou Guirassy, who won a penalty for BVB against Lille.

Kovač stated in Friday’s press conference that everyone who was available against Lille, is fit, but that Felix Nmecha and Daniel Svensson remain sidelined. The Croat will continue to field his preferred defensive partnership of Emre Can and Nico Schlotterbeck, with Waldemar Anton shifting to right-back. But he could lose his place should Kovač field Ramy Bensebaini, which would see Ryerson move to right-back.
