RBL Matchday
Well well well, only footy on this weekend worth watching, it's Marco Rose's first game as RBL manager facing his former club Dortmund and I'm a little shocked it's not the 5.30pm game. There's always an air of excitement in me when a new coach comes in: will he change the formation? Will he drop/promote someone surprising? Will he lamp the fourth official? Either way it's the first day in a new chapter after a weirdly successful but also rubbish chapter under Tedesco. Dortmund are again hampered by injuries with Adeyemi, Malen, Hazard and Kobel all out joining Dahoudr, Morey, Bynoe-Gittens and the unfortunate Haller. However they are still second in the table and won 3-0 in the CL on Tuesday so in much better shape than the team in 12th today.
From the lineup submitted I haven't got a flippin' clue if it's sticking with the Tedesco formation (3-4-1-2) or a change to something more Rose-like (4-3-1-2). Hoping for the latter, expecting to be disappointed. Sometimes there's new manager bounce but these players are low on confidence so think Dortmund will win since Marco Reus always scores.
Game is LIVE from 14.30pm.
