Will BVB be able to overhaul their first-leg defeat?
The lineups are out for today's crunch Champions League round of 16 match between Borussia Dortmund and Juventus at the Westfalenstadion. The hosts head in 2-1 down on aggregate, but the away goal they scored in Turin in the first leg means a 1-0 victory would be enough to get them through into the quarterfinals. There's still all to play for.
BVB coach Jürgen Klopp's biggest move has been to pull former Juve striker Ciro Immobile, and replace him in the starting lineup with attacking midfielder Kevin Kampl. The result is that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will be tasked with leading the line.
Meanwhile, Juve's only pre-match selection question was about whether coach Max Allegri would elect to shape up with a back four or a more defensively-minded three. Happily, he's gone for the former, and we may well see some goals as a result.
Borussia Dortmund starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Roman Weidenfeller; Marcel Schmelzer, Mats Hummels, Neven Subotić, Sokratis Papastathopoulos; İlkay Gündoğan, Sven Bender; Marco Reus, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Kevin Kampl; Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Juventus starting lineup (4-3-1-2): Gianluigi Buffon; Patrice Evra, Giorgio Chiellini, Leonardo Bonucci, Stephan Lichtsteiner; Paul Pogba, Claudio Marchisio, Arturo Vidal; Roberto Pereyra; Álvaro Morata, Carlos Tevez.
