2. Niclas Füllkrug

It will not be difficult for Niclas Füllkrug to earn his way back into the starting lineup, given the unfortunate timing of Sebastien Haller's injury. However, make no mistake about it, Niclas Füllkrug will make the starting lineup because he's earned it, not because Terzic is forced to make the decision.

Coming out of an inevitable slump, Füllkrug seems to have found his goal-scoring boots again, which has come at a welcome time for Dortmund as they look to finish as high as possible in the Bundesliga and, of course, win the Champions League.

In his last two starts, Niclas Füllkrug has scored twice and provided one assist. Therefore, he will be full of confidence and hoping to continue his goal-scoring momentum against RB Leipzig, who are just two points ahead of BVB in the Bundesliga table.

Niclas Füllkrug has always been an exceptional striker, hence why Dortmund signed him. It's just good to see him back in form after his dry patch.
