For me:

(1) Who controls the middle of the pitch?  Indiana likes to possess, and both teams use the sidelines.  But is there space available for either side in the center channels?

(2) Can Stanford high pressure get Indiana's really good backline off balance?

(3) How is the game officiated?  Both teams play an aggressive style, and the game in Bloomington in 2016 was a bit of a brawl - I think there were 6 yellow cards (4 on Stanford) and 1 red (on Indiana, can't remember if it was a second yellow or a straight red.) But that was on the Hoosiers' home pitch, with B1G officials.  How will the game be called and proceed?

Beyond that, it's pretty much down to scoring first - both teams have amazing defenses (Indiana's given up 6 goals all year, Stanford 9).

Let's go!
