Player to watch: Patrik Schick
Only one player has scored more goals than Patrik Schick in the German top flight this season. The former RB Leipzig forward has scored 16 goals in his last 15 league assignments. However, Schick has not scored or registered an assist in his last three appearances in all competitions, so it will be interesting to see if he will get back to scoring ways.
