Julian Brandt

Fresh after leading Borussia Dortmund to a comprehensive win over Schalke, Julian Brandt will be looking to keep his impressive run going against Wolfsburg. The Dortmund playmaker will see plenty of the ball, as Wolfsburg will adopt a more defensive minded approach.

And if he can find those killer passes to unlock the Wolfsburg defence as he did last weekend, the Black and Yellows should have no problem getting all three points.

Jadon Sancho

By the time Sancho entered the pitch last weekend, the game was already won. It remains to be seen if he is fully match fit yet, but Lucien Favre will be looking to give him more time on the pitch this weekend ahead of the Bayern game.

Sancho is capable of producing game changing moments even when he is not at his best. A good performance on Saturday could be a massive confidence booster for him ahead of next Tuesday’s massive six pointer.

Thorgan Hazard

Hazard was the star of the show as Borussia Dortmund enjoyed a 3-0 win over Wolfsburg in the reverse fixture. And the Belgian international comes into this weekend’s game on the back of an impressive performance against Schalke.

Hazard has been quietly putting in some very good performances for Borussia Dortmund this season. And don’t be surprised if he stars once again this weekend.
