Players to Watch

Gio Reyna’s hat-trick of assists led Borussia Dortmund to victory last time out, and he will be aiming to continue his impressive run of form this weekend. He may only be 17, but Reyna has already earned Lucien Favre’s trust and has become an important player for the team.

It will also be interesting to see how Jadon Sancho fares on his return to the Borussia Dortmund squad after missing the last two games. This is a fixture the Black and Yellows usually struggle in, so they will need the England international to be at his very best in order to get the three points.

Andrej Kramarić is currently in the form of his life, having scored eight goals in just four appearances since the start of the season. But his goal glut started on the final day of last season when he hit four past Borussia Dortmund to lead Hoffenheim to an emphatic win. The Dortmund defenders will no doubt have to do a better job of defending him if they are to have a chance of winning on Saturday.
