Player to watch – Myron Boadu
Myron Boadu has made a stellar impact for Bochum since his return from injury and the Dutch attacker will be one of the most dangerous attackers on the pitch on Saturday.
Boadu has a superb strike rate
Boadu has featured in only nine Bundesliga fixtures this season and the 24-year-old has been scoring once every 104 minutes for Bochum in the German top tier. Boadu will be determined to put his lethal touch in the final third to good use again this weekend.
