Official lineups Chelsea-Borussia Dortmund: predicting goalscorers, cautions and shooters for the Champions League clash coming up soon
A match worth the whole season for Chelsea. Who, after spending millions and millions of euros in January, are now called upon to reap the rewards. A last chance also for Potter, who smells exoneration, and who could really risk his farewell if he fails to overturn Borussia Dortmund, who started from 1-0 down in the first leg. A match that is not only complicated on paper.
Given what the London side have failed to do in the league at the moment, you have to understand that the challenge at Stamford Bridge is the one that can undoubtedly give a different meaning to the Blues’ entire year. Who have never convinced until now and who perhaps regretted sending Tuchel off so hastily at the beginning of the year. Well, below are the official choices of the two coaches. And then our predictions.
- CHELSEA (3-4-3): Kepa; Cucurella, Koulibaly, Fofana; James, Kovaćič, Enzo Fernández, Chilwell; Sterling, João Félix, Havertz.
- BORUSSIA DORTMUND (4-2-3-1): Kobel; Wolf, Süle, Schlotterbeck, Guerreiro; Emre Can, Salih Özcan; Brandt, Bellingham, Reus; Haller.

Official Chelsea v Borussia Dortmund line-ups, cautions and marksmen
Question of cautions: at home to Borussia Dortmund, someone as sanguine as Emre Can could pick up a yellow during the ninety minutes. Yes, the former Juventus man is one of the biggest candidates to end up in the match directors’ notebooks. On the other hand, watch out for the character of Enzo Fernandez. He too is ‘scintillating’ in the middle of the field. Finally, there is the question of shooters: Havertz on one side and Bellingham on the other, who could hit the goal mirror at least once during the match.
