Players to Watch

Erling Haaland has now gone five games without a goal for club and country. And while he did assist Marco Reus’ goal against Manchester City, the Norwegian international needs to get back among the goals very soon if Borussia Dortmund are to somehow salvage their season.

Jude Bellingham was Borussia Dortmund’s best player in the defeat to Manchester City. On Saturday, the young midfielder will be looking to pick up where he left off against City, and deliver another good performance for his side.

Sasa Kalajdzic has eight goals in his last nine appearances for Stuttgart, and he will certainly be a handful to the often vulnerable Borussia Dortmund defence. The towering striker will be Stuttgart’s main goal threat in the absence of the injured Silas Wamangituka and Nicolas Gonzalez.
