Borussia Dortmund vs Hertha Berlin: CONFIRMED Starting XI as Brandt returns to the side

Forwards: Marco Reus, Erling Haaland, Thorgan Hazard

With Sancho injured and Reyna only fit to start on the bench, we will see the same front three as we did against Sevilla. Having Thorgan Hazard back is massive for this Dortmund side as they finally get a direct winger in the starting XI.

With so many of the Borussia Dortmund attackers drifting centrally, Hazard is crucial for giving Dortmund width and directness in their attack. He has shown his quality in the last couple of games, and he will only get better as he finds his full fitness.

Marco Reus has also impressed in the last few games, partnering really well with Erling Haaland. His intelligent pressing helps to constantly create turnovers for Dortmund, and his ability to get into good positions sets up a number of chances for the team.

Erling Haaland will lead the line for Dortmund once again. The last time he faced Hertha, Haaland scored four times. And with four goals in his last two outings, the Norwegian international will be eager to find the net once again this weekend
