Player to watch – Jonathan Burkardt

Jonathan Burkardt continues to be a talismanic presence for Mainz and the star striker netted his 14^th goal of the campaign in his club’s excellent 2-1 win at RB Leipzig last weekend.

Can Burkardt impact the scoresheet again?

Burkardt is enjoying the most prolific campaign of his career so far and the lethal finisher is playing with enough confidence to gobble up any chance that falls his way at present. Expect the 24-year-old to have a big say again on Friday.
