Player to watch: Ermedin Demirovic

Ermedin Demirovic led Stuttgart in the Bundesliga goals table, having scored 15 from 34 league games.

That performance has earned him a few suitors across Europe, but the Germans have managed to hold on to him till the start of the Bundesliga.

As the visiting start their domestic campaign today, they will be banking on the Bosnian to deliver the goals again.
