Player to watch – Mohammed Amoura
Mohammed Amoura could be the next big attacking talent in the Bundesliga to secure a money-spinning move and the 24-year-old will be keen to impress his growing list of suitors on Saturday.

Amoura is a consistent threat
Algerian attacker Amoura has scored nine times and claimed seven assists in 19 starts in the Bundesliga this season and the in-form forward has the right tools to open the Bochum defence this weekend.
