Dortmund should have the longer spells of territory, with Ryerson feeding the box and a second runner collecting loose shots. Elversberg have a direct midfield-to-Mokwa route that can carry the ball past the first press. The size of Dortmund's lead will depend on how often that away outlet survives and forces the back line to reset.
Silva finished and created after Guirassy left the Betis match, so Dortmund retain a working central target. The club has since ruled Guirassy out after that appearance, and Sabitzer is only an option after missing Betis; neither projected lineup is a confirmed team. Elversberg's Keidel, Poreba, Mokwa and Onyeka formed a live route in the last match despite the longer-standing absences in their squad. Their earlier heavy Leipzig defeat was level at the break before a changed wide assignment and an extended chase. That's why I'm siding with Elversberg to keep Dortmund's advantage narrow.
