Player to watch: Deniz Undav
Deniz Undav's stoppage-time goal secured a point for Stuttgart in their 2-2 draw at Wolfsburg last weekend. The former Brighton forward has been in sensational form lately, with seven direct goal involvements (5 goals, 2 assists) in his last five appearances for club and country.
Undav has scored in five consecutive matches across all competitions and will look to extend that streak to six games.
