Borussia Dortmund v 1. FSV Mainz 05 - Bundesliga
Batshuyi
is a bench specialist.

'The Batsman or the King of Twitter' was in great form for Dortmund only for his season to be curtailed by an ankle injury, but he recovered in time and he is ready to shine in Russia for the Red Devils.

This season he made a total of combined 44 appearances for Chelsea and Dortmund and he still managed to score 25 goals.

Batshuyi could be crucial for Belguim when comes off the bench as for Chelsea he was a proper bench specialist who could come off the bench and win games for them. He came off the bench to score the winner which gave Chelsea the title in 201617 and he did the same against Watford and Atletico Madrid as well.

While Romelu Lukaku is the first choice for Belguim, he can add more mobility to their frontline and as the match progresses defenders tend to lose concentration and he can make runs in behind them and likes of Hazard and De Bryune can find him more easily as well.
