Key Player Red Bull Leipzig
If there is an element that can make a difference at any time because of his ability that even took him to Chelsea, it is Timo Werner, who must be in constant contact with the ball so that his team can have a much better offense.
Key player Freiburg
Ritsu Doan comes from being the hero last weekend as his solitary goal was more than enough to get the win at Cologne's home to keep them in Champions League places, so they will have to supply him with balls throughout the game so that he can have clear options in front of the opponent's goal.
