Confirmed Lineups: Mainz vs. Borussia Dortmund

After their hefty 4-1 win against Augsburg on the road last weekend, FSV Mainz 05 welcome the stern challenge of an unbeaten Borussia Dortmund to the Mewa Arena this afternoon.

For the hosts, Maxim Leitsch gets a start in defence with Silvan Widmer on the right and Armindo Sieb up top with Jae-Sung Lee in from the get-go.

BVB give Nico Schlotterbeck a second start as Yan Couto returns. Niklas Süle and Fábio Silva are fit for a place on the substitute bench. Meanwhile, Serhou Guirassy has pulled up injured before kick-off so Julian Brandt starts.

Serhou Guirassy misses out up front for the visitors after picking up an injury in the warm-up.
