Dortmund, last year’s finalist, is in a precarious position and faces a crucial match against Napoli. The German club must secure a victory to strengthen its position in the standings; failure to do so could lead to elimination. A draw would require Dortmund to closely monitor the outcome of the other group match between Arsenal and Marseille. Napoli, on the other hand, only needs one point to secure a spot in the round of 16.
Here are the starting lineups for both teams, starting with Dortmund in a 4-2-3-1 formation:
Dortmund Starting XI: Weidenfeller – Großkreutz, S. Bender, Sokratis, Durm – Sahin, Kehl – Blaszczykowski, Mkhitaryan, Reus – Lewandowski.
Napoli Starting XI: Reina – Maggio, Albiol, F. Fernandez, Armero – Behrami, Dzemaili – Callejon, Pandev, Mertens – Higuain.
