Semih Sahin (Calf problems), Robin Fellhauer (Ankle injury) and Patryk Dragon (Knee injury) are unavailable for Elversberg boss Horst Steffen.

We think that Elversberg will possibly use a 4-2-3-1 formation, beginning the first half with Nicolas Kristof, Elias Baum, Florian Le Joncour, Maximilian Rohr, Maurice Neubauer, Carlo Sickinger, Frederik Schmahl, Lukas Petkov, Luca Schnellbacher, M. Mehmet Damar and Fisnik Asllani.

Lubambo Musonda (Adductor injury), Alexander Ahl-Holmström (Adductor injury), Samuel Loric (Outer ligament tear), Herbert Bockhorn (Cruciate ligament tear) and Emir Kuhinja (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be making appearances.
