Players to Watch

Patrik Schick (Bayer Leverkusen)

Patrik Schick continues to lead the attacking front for Bayer Leverkusen. In two Bundesliga appearances, the 29-year-old forward has scored two goals. In the previous league game, he scored a brace, but it was not enough to lead Die Werkself to a win.

He is going to create problems for the opponent’s defence.

Ritsu Doan (Eintracht Frankfurt)

Ritsu Doan is coming in after scoring a brace in the previous game for Eintracht Frankfurt. His goals clearly helped his side secure three important points. The Japanese midfielder will yet again play a crucial part in regulating the midfield and also assisting in the final third.
