Attack: Jadon Sancho, Erling Haaland, Thorgan Hazard

Unless Julian Brandt is 100% fit, Borussia Dortmund’s attack like the rest of the lineup will likely remain unchanged. Lucien Favre isn’t a huge fan of rotation, especially after a strong performance so in all likelihood Jadon Sancho, Erling Haaland and Thorgan Hazard will start in the attack.

Sancho has been on fire in the Bundesliga, absolutely torching defenses. Haaland is scoring at a ridiculous rate, coming off notching a crucial brace against PSG he will be looking to continue his exceptional run of form.

dark. Next. Borussia Dortmund’s All-Time Best XI

Hazard has been a bit quiet recently but now that he has strung a couple starts together it wouldn’t surprise me to see him get back on the scoresheet in this one. He will be determined to keep his place in the team, with Julian Brandt closing in on full fitness.
