Players to Watch

Lennart Karl (Bayern Munich)

The 17-year-old continues to perform well for Bayern Munich. He is coming in after scoring a brace and an assist in the club friendly against the Red Bulls. Lennart Karl’s performances have also been top-notch in the last few games of the Bundesliga. He is going to be a constant threat to the opponent’s defence.

Dzenan Pejcinovic (Wolfsburg)

Dzenan Pejcinovic is coming in after scoring a sensational hat-trick in his previous Bundesliga appearance for the Wolves. But it was still not enough to get his side to a win. He will be looking to step up yet again and help his side stand a chance with a top performance against the hosts.
