Hans-Dieter Flick makes three changes from the visit of Borussia Dortmund. Pavard swaps for Sule at right-back and in front of him, on the right-hand side, Sane drops out for Gnabry. The other change sees Hernandez replace Alaba, who hasn’t travelled for this fixture due to muscular problems, at centre-back.
Florian Kohfeldt makes four changes to his last starting line-up. Alongside Toprak in the hosts’ three-man defence, Gross and captain Moisander come in to replace Veljkovic and Marco Friedl, who isn’t in the squad entirely. At left wing-back, Augustinsson is preferred over Agu, while Mohwald takes Bittencourt’s place in midfield.
