Players to watch 

Mohamed El Amine Amoura (VfL Wolfsburg)

The Algerian international has enjoyed a great run of form this season for both club and country. He has been a phenomenal addition to the Wolves and has dropped in consistent performances since his arrival. The 24-year-old is known for his pace, goal-scoring instincts and versatility. He has five goal contributions including a goal and four assists in the Bundesliga this season.

Jens Stage (Werder Bremen)

The Danish midfielder has put in consistent shifts for Werder Bremen this season. He primarily operates in the middle of the park, but can also slot in as a defensive midfielder if required. His ball distribution, tactical awareness and ability to contribute on either end of the pitch make him an undisputed starter for his side. Stage has netted three goals in the German top flight this season.
