Luzern vs. Dortmund: Team News, Predicted Lineups, Live Stream and TV Info

Although Thomas Tuchel has been in charge of Borussia Dortmund for just three weeks, the new manager has already experimented extensively with his new-look squad over the course of the club's first round of pre-season friendly matches. 

Such a pattern will undoubtedly continue on Tuesday night when Dortmund travel to central Switzerland to face FC Luzern at the Swissporarena. There, Tuchel will continue to pick and choose among his group of stars as he prepares for the coming season.

Predicted Lineup

Although trying to predict the lineup of a squad as plentiful as Dortmund's for an international friendly is largely futile, there are a few players that we can probably expect to see against the Swiss opposition on Tuesday evening. 

In defence, Tuchel will probably start Mats Hummels as he continues to assure himself of the central defenders fitness while all four full-backs—Marcel Schmelzer, Jeremy Dudziak, Erik Durm and Lukasz Piszczek—will undoubtedly get 45 minutes each. 

Julian Weigl will hopefully be given another showing at the foot of Dortmund's midfield while Tuchel continues to mull over the recently signed talent and whether or not he offers more than the slightly more blunt Sven Bender. 

Up front we should see the new manager continue to experiment with Marco Reus as a standalone striker or perhaps as a partner to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as we saw in the last game against Bochum on Friday.

Key Player

Although fans will be keeping their eyes on Hummels at one end of the pitch and Reus at the other, somewhere in between will be Shinji Kagawa. A central, attacking midfielder who has seen his influence in the side grow and grow during the pre-season under Tuchel. 

Whether playing one striker or two, the new manager has stuck by the Japanese international as his No. 10 of choice throughout the summer. And chances are we'll see Kagawa front and centre of Dortmund's plans against Luzern on Tuesday night.
