Player to watch – Jamie Gittens

Jamie Gittens has been one of Dortmund’s best players in what has been an underwhelming Bundesliga campaign so far and the impactful winger could be worth tracking closely again on Saturday.

Gittens is a game changer

Gittens has chipped in with ten goal involvements for Dortmund in the league this season split between seven goals and three assists. The 20-year-old has the right blend of skill and pace to trouble the Union Berlin defence this weekend.
