Borussia Dortmund v 1. FC Union Berlin: Predicted line-ups for #bvbfcu | OneFootball

First home game of the new season for BVB, and visiting is 1. FC Union Berlin—a club Dortmund especially enjoys facing in their own stadium. Dortmund has won all six Bundesliga home games against the “Eisernen,” most recently with a 6:0 victory. Nevertheless, after the disappointing 3:3 at St. Pauli, it remains unclear how stable things are at the moment. Here are the probable starting lineups.

The “core” of four injured players at Borussia Dortmund is this time joined by Filippo Mane, who is suspended after his red card in Hamburg and therefore also unavailable. Here is the complete list of absentees:

The editors at Kicker suspect that Niko Kovac will have BVB start with the following lineup.

Gregor Kobel – Aaron Anselmino, Waldemar Anton, Ramy Bensebaini – Yan Couto, Marcel Sabitzer, Daniel Svensson – Pascal Groß, Julian Brandt – Serhou Guirassy, Maximilian Beier

This would mean Aaron Anselmino, just a few days after signing, would make his starting eleven debut for BVB, with Kovac relying on defensive leader Waldemar Anton to guide him sufficiently.

Beier likely alongside Guirassy at BVB

The visitors from 1. FC Union Berlin could start at Signal Iduna Park with the following lineup:

Frederik Rönnow – Danilho Doekhi, Leopold Querfeld, Tom Rothe – Christopher Trimmel, Rani Khedira, Robert Skov – Andras Schäfer, Janik Haberer – Ilyas Ansah, Andrej Ilic

In Tom Rothe, they will face a former BVB player, for whom Dortmund even holds a buy-back option.

BVB is seen very clearly by bookmakers as the favorite for the three points this afternoon. The odds for a home win are around 1.40. For an away win, you would get about 7.50 times your stake back if you bet on it.

As mentioned at the beginning, BVB recently had a 6:0 home win over 1. FC Union Berlin, and in previous matches they also scored plenty of goals, such as a 5:0 or twice a 4:2. However, BVB has often found out that Berlin can be a tough opponent, especially in matches in Köpenick.
