Borussia Dortmund will be looking to continue their 2024 form when they travel to Wolfsburg on Saturday afternoon as they look to strengthen their grip on a place in the top four.
Edin Terzić is expected to make two changes from their 3-0 win against Freiburg last week. Kicker suggest that Jamie Bynoe-Gittens and Marco Reus could drop to the bench, with Julian Brandt and Jadon Sancho returning to the starting line-up. Both came off the bench against Freiburg after returning from recent injuries.
Other than that, Terzić is expected to name the same players. Sébastien Haller should be back in the squad after returning to Dortmund on Thursday following his Africa Cup of Nations win with the Ivory Coast, while Youssoufa Moukoko also remains an option off the bench.
Terzić did state in his pre-match press conference that Karim Adeyemi had been unable to train because of a muscular problem, and so it remains to be seen as to whether or not the German attacker makes the squad.
Donyell Malen is expected to retain his place after scoring a brace against Freiburg last weekend. Malen and Mats Hummels will be suspended for one game upon being shown their next yellow card.
Predicted Borussia Dortmund XI vs Wolfsburg
Gregor Kobel – Julian Ryerson, Niklas Süle, Nico Schlotterbeck, Ian Maatsen – Emre Can, Marcel Sabitzer – Donyell Malen, Julian Brandt, Jadon Sancho – Niclas Füllkrug.
