Player to watch – Nick Woltemade

Nick Woltemade made another goal-scoring impact for Stuttgart in midweek when he scored his team’s crucial second effort against RB Leipzig.

Woltemade could start again

Competition for places in attack is stiff at Stuttgart, though Woltemade has earned a regular starting berth following a run of four goals in five Bundesliga appearances and the 22-year-old could be given another chance to shine on Saturday.
