Players to Watch

Rasmus Hojlund (Denmark)

Rasmus Hojlund will once again be ready to play an important role for his national football team in the attacking front. His recent performances have not been the best for his club. However Hojlund has performed decently for his national team.

Che Adams (Scotland)

Che Adams is coming in after scoring an astonishing hat-trick against Liechtenstein. It was an overpowering effort by the Scotland national football team, but Che Adams shone the brightest after his performance. In the upcoming game, he is going to be a big issue for the opponent’s defence.
