Player(s) to watch:
- Jamal Musiala has been great for Bayern Munich. The youngster has played 19 league games this season and has come up with 12 goal contributions. In the absence of Harry Kane, Jamal Musiala will have to step up his game and build up some different linkup plays with his fellow teammates to score goals.
- Hugo Ekitike is a young gun, but he has been in decent form. After the departure of Omar Marmoush from Frankfurt to Manchester City, the French attacker has been burdened with the responsibility of Frankfurt’s attacking front. Ekitike has scored 12 goals and has come up with three assists in 21 league games so far.
