Players to Watch

Borussia Dortmund are likely to continue with their rotation policy with the team facing a packed December schedule.

One player who will play though is Erling Haaland. The 20 year old was held off the scoresheet for the first time in eight games in all competitions against Köln, and will no doubt be aiming to get back among the goals in the game against Lazio.

Jude Bellinham should be in line for a start against Lazio after being left out of the entire game against Köln. The 17 year old has been very impressive thus far and will be itching to get back on the pitch.

Ciro Immobile is the man to watch for Lazio as he has caught fire recently, scoring in each of his last 6 games. That also includes a goal and assist in Lazio’s last outing against his former club Borussia Dortmund.
