Players to watch
Serhou Guirassy & Ramy Bensebaini: Serhou Guirassy has finally looked like the striker Dortmund was hoping for, and I think the best is yet to come. Mike Tullberg has figured out how to utilize Serhou, and I think he’ll score again in this match. As this is Tullberg’s final game, I’m curious to see how he uses Bensebaini. He played through the midfield against Shakthar more than we’re used to seeing, and he was good. But can he maintain his form?
Frans Krätzig & Jan Schöppner: Krätzig brings a high level of versatility to Heidenheim’s left side. He can play both on the wing and in defense and he’s been one of his team’s most consistent players this year. Jan Schöppner, on the other hand, tends to play in the defensive midfield. He’s likely going to be the player Brandt has to beat if Tullberg’s progressive, attacking sequences through the middle will be successful.
