Player to watch – Maximilian Beier
Maximilian Beier has found form of late and the languid forward’s brace against Mainz last weekend brought his recent tally up to three goals in as many games in all competitions for Dortmund.

Confident Beier could produce the goods
Beier has scored seven times in the Bundesliga this season and he plundered one of those efforts after just seven minutes of Dortmund’s 4-0 win over Freiburg in November. With his self-belief soaring following a recent purple patch, the 22-year-old could be a nuisance again on Saturday.
