Marco Rose starts his debut as the new coach of RB Leipzig with Emil Forsberg in the starting lineup against his former club Borussia Dortmund.

Compared to the 4-1 loss in the Champions League against Shakhtar Donetsk under his predecessor Domenico Tedesco, Rose also switched to left-back, with new signing David Raum replacing Marcel Halstenberg. In addition, Yussuf Poulsen is back in the RB squad for the first time since his muscle fiber tear.

BVB coach Edin Terzic only makes one change after the 3-0 win in the premier class against FC Copenhagen. Marius Wolf replaces the injured Thorgan Hazard. The recently injured offensive players Donyell Malen and Karim Adeyemi are not in the squad.
