Player to watch – Mohammed Amoura
Mohammed Amoura has been making a positive impact at Wolfsburg during his season-long loan from Belgian side Union SG and the Algerian attacker scored another two goals against RB Leipzig at the weekend.
Amoura’s a potential match winner
Amoura has scored four goals and registered five assists in the Bundesliga for Wolfsburg this season and the 24-year-old will be keen to transfer his league form into the DGB Pokal on Wednesday evening.
