🗞️ Team News: Hamburg

Looking at personnel, there is just the lone fitness concern for the Hamburg gaffer Tim Walter to contend with from an otherwise fully-primed group of players. Tom Mickel (Fractured Rib) is out of contention. Javi Montero will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

It’s our opinion that Hamburg will probably kick off with a 4-3-3 formation for the game, handing starts to D. Heuer Fernandes, Moritz Heyer, Jonas David, Sebastian Schonlau, Miro Muheim, Ludovit Reis, Omar Megeed, R. Koenigsdoerffer, Bakery Jatta, Robert Glatzel and Jean-Luc Dompe.

📰 Team News: Holstein Kiel

Holstein Kiel manager Marcel Rapp has to currently contend with reduced team options. Tim Schreiber (Knee Injury), Thomas Dähne (Knee Injury), Fin Bartels (Adductor problems), Benedikt Pichler (Fitness) and Aleksandar Ignjovski (Medial Collateral Ligament Injury) won’t be making appearances. Patrick Erras cannot play in this game through suspension.

From our viewpoint, Holstein Kiel could decide to make use of a 3-4-2-1 formation, choosing Robin Himmelmann, Simon Lorenz, Hauke Wahl, Marco Komenda, Timo Becker, Fabian Reese, Marvin Schulz, Philipp Sander, Finn Porath, Lewis Holtby and Steven Skrzybski.
