Players to Watch

Jadon Sancho has been in excellent form since the turn of the year, and notched up his fifth goal of 2021 in the draw against Hoffenheim at the weekend. He will be aiming to keep that form going in the Champions League as Borussia Dortmund look to earn a good result in Spain.

Erling Haaland is a different beast in the UEFA Champions League, and has 16 goals in just 12 appearances in the competition. His performance will once again be crucial to the Black and Yellows’ hopes on Wednesday.

When Haaland and Sancho aren’t on their game, the Borussia Dortmund attack often struggles to score goals. And it is imperative for BVB’s hopes that the duo keep their impressive run of form going over the two legs against Sevilla.

Sevilla have a number of talented players in their ranks who could make things difficult for Borussia Dortmund. But one player they will definitely need to keep an eye on is striker Youssef En-Nesyri. The 23 year old has scored 17 goals this season, including four in the UEFA Champions League. Alejandro Gómez could also pose a threat to the Dortmund defence, having made an impressive start to his Sevilla career.
