Confirmed Lineups: Dortmund vs. Bayern

The lineups for tonight's big match between FC Bayern München and Borussia Dortmund have been announced.

This evening, the German powerhouses will clash at Signal Iduna Park, where Borussia Dortmund, led by Nuri Sahin, aims to build on their strong home performances this year. They’ll be looking to make an impact against Vincent Kompany's top team, who are comfortably sitting at the top of the table with a solid lead, having played just over a third of the season.

Sahin has made two adjustments to the starting lineup he used during the Champions League match earlier in the week. Julian Brandt and Donyell Malen have been substituted with Julian Ryerson and Serhou Guirassy. It’s expected that Pascal Groß will shift into the midfield to fill in for Brandt, while Maximilian Beier will step back into the position for Malen. Sahin is expected to keep his formation as 4-1-4-1.

Kompany makes a single adjustment to his Champions League lineup. Mathys Tel is given an unexpected opportunity to start on the wing instead of Kingsley Coman. This marks just Tel's second league start of the season. It's probable that the traveling Bavarians will maintain a 4-2-3-1 formation.
