2. Youssoufa Moukoko

Speaking of centre forwards, one player who could make life difficult for Sebastien Haller to prove himself is the in-form backup striker Youssoufa Moukoko. The 19-year-old started Borussia Dortmund's most recent Bundesliga match against Augsberg, scoring twice in their 5-1 win.

Moukoko was not used in the Champions League semifinal (2nd leg) against Paris Saint-Germain, so the indication seems to be that he will start against Mainz this weekend. Edin Terzic is understandably a big fan of Moukoko, who is next in line for stardom in Germany.

Should Moukoko start the game against Mainz, he will be hungry to prove himself. While it is unlikely he will be considered for the Champions League final, it will be his aim to impress yet again in the Bundesliga to give Edin Terzic even the slightest lineup selection headache.
