The German international is the motor of Dortmund’s midfield and he can be a difference maker in the attack despite not being a goal scorer. If he stands out in front of Bayern’s combative defensive midfield, Dortmund will have great chances to come out on top after the final whistle.
Bayern’s right-back and captain has a knack for appearing in big games right when his team needs him. He will have a fierce battle with Marco Reus on defense and with Marcel Schmelzer going forward, so Lahm’s outing could end up being key for Pep Guardiola’s team.
The Dutch international had always been criticized for disappearing in the big matches, but he led the team to a Champions League final with two goals last year. He will face the same team and will surely be hungry for success as he’s looking to show he can’t be considered a ‘soft’ player anymore.
The Poland international is the star of Borussia Dortmund and of the best strikers in the league. Most of Jurgen Klöpp’s team chances going forward will lie on his shoulders and if he’s able to produce and find the back of the net, he could become unstoppable for Bayern’s defensive line.
No other player will be watched more during the game than Mario Götze. The Germany international played for Dortmund last season and now he’s at Bayern where he’s been able to be a difference maker every time he's stepped on the pitch. Nobody knows Dortmund’s defensive line better than Götze so he could end up being the key to Bayern’s victory this Saturday.
