4. Nico Schlotterbeck

Needless to say, RB Leipzig will bring an attacking threat to this match, particularly at home. So far in the Budesliga, BVB's opponents have netted an impressive 69 goals, a tally which is only bettered by the elite two, Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen.

With that in mind, it will be difficult for Borussia Dortmund to shut-up-shop, however, they will certainly try their best. The pressure of this match is somewhat alleviated by the UEFA coefficient being kind to Bundesliga teams, meaning five teams are likely to qualify, perhaps even six. However, this game presents a great opportunity for Dortmund to climb to fourth in the Bundesliga.

Nico Schlotterbeck has been one of the better performers this season and while there may be some thoughts harbouring in the mind of Terzic about resting key players, Schlotterbeck must not be one of them. Nico is immune to squad rotation given his importance to every match, it is as simple as that, really.
