Player(s) to watch:

• Jamal Musiala is an absolute joy to watch. His playing style as an attacking midfielder is characterized by his technical skills and versatility. He possesses excellent dribbling ability, which allows him to navigate through tight spaces and take on defenders with ease. His passing and vision on the field are exceptional, as he constantly looks for opportunities to create scoring chances for his teammates. In 12 matches in Bundesliga, he netted eight goals and provided one assist. In UCL as well he scored twice and provided three assists.
• Lois Openda’s movement under Marco Rose’s system in both central and wide areas is very impressive. His physical abilities make him a good fit for an environment such as the Bundesliga. There is much more to Openda than his scoring skills. He is an all-round player who is a fan favourite and has a high work ethic. His style is perfectly tailored for a Red Bull tactical philosophy that involves intense pressing. Openda will surely be a big threat for the Bavarian giants in the upcoming fixture. In 14 Bundesliga fixtures, he scored six goals and provided three assists. In DFB-Pokal as well he scored two goals in two matches.
