Forwards: Donyell Malen, Marco Reus, Erling Haaland

Erling Haaland will be looking to lead Borussia Dortmund’s response against Hoffenheim following their disappointing DFB-Pokal exit. The Norwegian international scored a stoppage winner in the reverse fixture to hand Dortmund a stunning 3-2 win.

Marco Reus hasn’t enjoyed the best of starts to 2022. And the hope will be that he can find the form that we saw from him in the first half of the season very soon. The Borussia Dortmund captain has been asked to play in a slightly wider role in recent games, and he certainly hasn’t looked the most comfortable on the wings.

Donyell Malen could return to the starting XI against Hoffenheim after making way for Thorgan Hazard on Tuesday. The Belgian international wasn’t able to make much of an impact against St. Pauli and could drop to the bench on Saturday.

Youssoufa Moukoko and Reinier are the other attacking options available to Marco Rose.
