📋 Team News: Hansa Rostock

Looking at personnel, there is just the lone fitness concern for the Hansa Rostock gaffer Jens Härtel to be concerned about due to a largely intact set of players. Simon Rhein (Plantar fascia) won’t play.

It looks as if Hansa look set to opt for a 4-2-3-1 system for this game featuring Markus Kolke, Frederic Ananou, Ryan Malone, Rick Van Drongelen, Anderson Lucoqui, Lukas Fröde, Dennis Dressel, Svante Ingelsson, Kai Proger, Kevin Schumacher and John Verhoek.

📋 Team News: Magdeburg

Magdeburg boss Christian Titz has a number of players out of action. Florian Kath (Mononucleosis), Maximilian Franzke (Torn muscle bundle), Baris Atik (Ligament Problems), Leon Schmökel (Pubitis) and Malcolm Cacutalua (Ankle Injury) miss out here.

It’s our belief that Magdeburg could decide to utilise a 4-2-1-3 lineup, choosing Dominik Reimann, Herbert Bockhorn, Cristiano Piccini, Silas Gnaka, Leon Bell Bell, Andreas Müller, Amara Conde, Connor Krempicki, M. Kwarteng, Jan Luca Schuler and Mo El Hankouri.

🔮 Prediction

We’re inclined to think that Magdeburg have the ability to put a goal past this Hansa Rostock lineup, but that is unlikely to be enough to avoid a loss.

We think that it’s going to be a close game with a 2-1 victory for Hansa Rostock after 90 minutes. Looking forward to this.
