Players to Watch
Karim Adeyemi & Waldemar Anton: Since returning from injury, Karim Adeyemi has shown a few glimpses of his brilliance, but he hasn’t dazzled. What better opportunity to be the star of the show than an away match in the Champions League? If BVB are to secure a win, then I think Karim will play a major role. Waldemar Anton, on the other hand, will be holding the line and securing the defense. In a squad that has looked lackadaisical recently, Anton has provided some stability.
Santiago Castro & Riccardo Orsolini: Since signing for Bologna a year ago as a nineteen-year-old, Santiago Castro has been given plenty of opportunities to develop as a young, up-and-coming striker. He’s been in fine form this January, scoring in each of Bologna’s previous two matches. Riccardo Orsolini is Bologna’s top scorer this season, and he provides a potent attacking threat from the left side, something which could make life difficult for Dortmund’s left-back choice.
