Players to Watch

Robin Hack (Borussia Monchengladbach)

Hack is a versatile player who can play at many positions on the field. He is a reliable source for starting quick and intensive attacks, and with his creativity, he is able to create a lot of trouble for the opposition defence. The German’s best ability is his clinical finishing as he is able to score from both of his feet.

In the last few seasons, he used to get injured very frequently but this season he is fit and is delivering good performance consistently. In 23 games, which he has played this season in the league, he has scored four goals and provided four assists, and surely he will be a big threat for Mainz.

Jonathan Burkardt (Mainz)

Burkardt is having the best season of his career and is already on the radar of many top clubs in Europe. He is physically strong and does beat defenders with his trickery. He is able to shrug off challenges very easily and does not go down quite often. Aerially, he is very strong and wins most of the duels. Burkardt likes to press high up on the pitch and does not need many opportunities to score.

Like many other strikers, he is not selfish and keeps his team in front of his personal goals. With his movement inside the box, he is able to drag defenders to open spaces for his teammates to exploit. In 20 games, he has scored 14 goals and provided two assists.
