🗞️ Team News: Holstein Kiel

There aren’t many personnel worries, with just one fitness concern for the Holstein Kiel boss Marcel Rapp to be concerned with due to a largely intact set of players. Colin Kleine-Bekel (Cruciate ligament injury) misses out.

It seems likely that Holstein Kiel look set to kick off with a 3-4-2-1 system for this one and select Timon Weiner, Timo Becker, Patrick Erras, Carl Johansson, Finn Porath, Tymoteusz Puchacz, Magnus Knudsen, Lewis Holtby, Armin Gigovic, Andu Yobel Kelati and Benedikt Pichler.

ℹ️ Team News: Eintracht Frankfurt

Eintracht Frankfurt manager Dino Toppmöller has to currently contend with reduced team options. Kevin Trapp (Hamstring injury), Mario Götze (Ill) and Oscar Højlund (Metatarsal fracture) will miss out on this game.

We reckon that Eintracht appear most likely to make use of a 4-4-2 formation by sending out Kaua, Rasmus Kristensen, Tuta, Robin Koch, Arthur Theate, Ansgar Knauff, Ellyes Skhiri, Hugo Larsson, Fares Chaibi, Hugo Ekitike and Omar Marmoush.

In this game, Holstein Kiel are capable enough to find the back of the net against this Eintracht Frankfurt team, but one goal might not be enough to give them the result that they want.
