Players to Watch

Jadon Sancho was the difference maker when the two sides met on Saturday. The England international scored two goals, including the winner, to help Borussia Dortmund earn a priceless win in their quest to finish in the top four. And he will now be aiming to show his quality once again on Thursday and lead Dortmund to the DFB-Pokal title.

Marco Reus is finding his form at the right time. The Borussia Dortmund captain now has three goals and an assist in his last five games. His performance on Thursday will certainly be crucial to Borussia Dortmund’s chances of victory.

Dani Olmo caused the Borussia Dortmund defenders a few problems on Saturday. And he will have a key role to play for RB Leipzig in the Pokal final. Another Leipzig player to watch will be Marcel Sabitzer. The Austrian was kept relatively quiet on Saturday, but is more than capable of pulling the strings from midfield.
