Player(s) to watch:

Kamil Grabara has been one of the best performers for Wolfsburg this season, making good saves and consistent performances between the sticks, and has made a difference for his side, averaging 4 saves per game in the Bundesliga this season.

Serhou Guirassy, who was nominated for the CAF men’s player of the season, is unarguably Dortmund’s best signing of the summer, as he has been on fire and has scored 12 goals for both club and country across all competitions this season.
