Team news & rosters

Coming up second once again to Bayern last term, Borussia Dortmund could have been left feeling they remain as off the mark of the champions as ever - but the cracks in Munich now means they could be ready to exploit them and finally have a superb shot at the Bundesliga title.

It has been a blow to lose Erling Haaland, and the news that Sébastien Haller looks to be out indefinitely with a testicular tumour is another massive knock too, but Edin Terzić will still fancy his side to be among the frontrunners this term.

Predicted Dortmund starting XI: Kobel; Meunier, Hummels, Schlotterbeck, Guerreiro; Bellingham, Dahoud; Adeyemi, Reus, Malen; Moussoko.

With a best Bundesliga finish in over half-a-decade last term, Leverkusen are back among the European elite at last, with Gerardo Seoane presiding over an excellent campaign following his arrival from Young Boys last summer.

A DFB-Pokal exit to third-tier Elversberg in a seven-goal encounter was not the way he envisioned likely starting the new campaign however, and the visitors will be very much out for a response to silence critics after that showing saw their hopes of domestic knockout success come to a shuddering halt.

Predicted Leverkusen starting XI: Hradecky; Frimpong, Kossounou, Tapsoba, Bakker; Aranguiz, Andrich; Diaby, Armoun, Hlozek; Schick.
