- Borussia Dortmund – the shape of the team and its analysis: everything has been “fixed” in the Champions League
“The Bumblebees” are preparing for the final of the main European tournament. They got through there absolutely on purpose, being stronger in the play-offs not only than PSV, but also than Atlético and PSG, and they beat everyone differently. At the same time, the regression of Terzic’s wards in the Bundesliga cannot be denied. A year ago, they had been in the lead before the last round, now they are in 5th place, behind RB Leipzig, to whom they recently lost with a 1-4 score. Well, then it was a 0-3 result in Mainz.
Darmstadt – the shape of the team and its analysis: the club did not surprise
“The Lilies” performed exactly as everyone expected from them. And it’s not for nothing that Torsten Lieberknecht, despite the poor statistics of his wards, was not replaced from his coaching post – the management objectively assesses the low, uncompetitive level of the club. Still, the recent 2-0 success in the battle against Koln shows that an underdog can also punish for excessive neglect, although the previous round, on the contrary, brought a failure due to a devastating result in the confrontation with Hoffenheim – 0-6.
Borussia Dortmund: team news
Terzić cannot count on Bensebaini and Duranville – to be honest, those were not critical losses.
Darmstadt: team news
The already weak squad is also limited by the abundance of injuries. There are questions about the performance of Mehlem, Gjasula, Hornby, Holland, Riedel, Manu and Seydel.
Borussia Dortmund vs Darmstadt: Possible starting line-ups
Borussia Dortmund (possible line-up): Mayer – Moray, Sule, Papadopoulos, Wolf – Nmecha, Watjen, Reus, Bynoe-Gittens, Malen – Moukoko.

Previous head-to-head matches
“The Lilies” even beat “the Bumblebees” in 2017, and there was a draw a little earlier. Still, “the Black and Yellows” defeated the newcomer-outsider on the away arena in January – 3-0.
