Goal-Keeper
Florian Muller has been pivotal to Freiberg’s foregone two results. Asked to safeguard a backline which has offered next to nothing, he’s refused to be dissuaded, staving away shot after shot to pull off a win and draw for his side.
Defenders
Borussia Dortmund’s last two defeats in the league have been down to the side’s complete failure defensively. The side has gone onto be hit for five goals in those clashes, a backline which has crumbled to be battered with ease.
However, the side hardly errs for a lengthy period and we should see them revert to their resplendent best defensively today. They are way the better out of these two sides when it comes to the defensive side of the game to see all of Thomas Munier, Mats Hummels and Manuel Akanji be our picks for the day.
Midfielders
Their biggest transfer this time around, Borussia Dortmund’s new boy, Jude Bellingham already has the one assist to his name. There was a colossal amount made of his transfer to the club and he’ll be looking to show why the club paid such a staggering amount to reign him in.
Ever since the tailend of the foregone season, wingback Raphael Guerreiro has emerged as a crucial component of Borussia Dortmund’s gameplan. While he’s been solid as ever defensively, he’s unlocked his true potential in attack as well to register a string of goals and assists.
Freiburg meanwhile see us opt for the indomitable CDM pairing of Nicolas Hofler and Baptiste Santamaria. The two will be pivotal to the side’s defensive aspirations, players who have till now done a good job of safeguarding an otherwise abject defence.
Strikers
Borussia Dortmund’s striker, Erling Haaland has torched his way to two goals inside two matches to make him an instant pick. Having brushed off his injury, Jadon Sancho now hail an hearty joins up in lieu of his one assist.
Nils Petersen’s two goals for Freiberg meanwhile will see him be our pick from the opposition.
Captain And Vice-Captain
The two goals to Haaland’s name make him a must have pick as our side’s captain while Sancho is the vice-captain.
