Player to watch – Patrik Schick

Patrik Schick had six shots and scored three of Bayer Leverkusen’s five goals in Die Werkself’s comfortable triumph (5-2) over Heidenheim on Saturday and the centre-forward will hope to be just as threatening on Saturday.

Can Schick impact the scoresheet?

Czechia international Schick has scored a sensational 17 goals in the Bundesliga this season despite starting only ten times in the division since August and the prolific 29-year-old should be a threat again this weekend.
