Erling Haaland vs Matija Nastasic

Haaland is coming off three straight games without a goal, something that is happening for the first time in his young Dortmund career. Always dangerous, Haaland will be looking to get back to his scoring ways in this game and put his stamp on his very first Revierderby. Standing is his way hopes to be Matija Nastasic who will be hoping to keep the young Norwegian off the scoresheet.

It will be interesting to see the impact not scoring over the course of a couple games for the first time will have on Haaland. With his work rate and compete level I can’t imagine he will struggle to make an impact even if it is not on the scoresheet.
