🗞️ Team News: Heidenheim

There aren’t many selection issues, with just the lone fitness concern for the Heidenheim manager Frank Schmidt to be concerned about thanks to an otherwise robust squad. Julian Niehues (muscular problems) will miss out.

In our view, Heidenheim will probably go for a 3-5-2 system with Kevin Mueller, Marnon-Thomas Busch, Patrick Mainka, Tim Siersleben, Omar Traore, Niklas Dorsch, Benedikt Gimber, Adrian Beck, Mathias Honsak, Marvin Pieringer and Budu Zivzivadze.

🗞️ Team News: Holstein Kiel

Holstein Kiel boss Marcel Rapp has some current player fitness concerns. John Tolkin (muscular problems), Colin Kleine-Bekel (Fitness), Phil Harres (influenza), Ivan Nekic (muscular problems), Benedikt Pichler (muscular problems) and Patrick Erras (concussion) miss out here.

There’s a good chance that Holstein Kiel might elect for a 4-4-2 system, settling for Timon Weiner, Timo Becker, David Zec, Marco Komenda, Lasse Rosenboom, Magnus Knudsen, Nicolai Remberg, Finn Porath, Steven Skrzybski, Armin Gigovic and Shuto Machino.

🧠 Prediction

Here, we’re thinking that Holstein Kiel could find themselves up against it to breach the defence of this Heidenheim side who we think might well be able to get on the scoresheet themselves in a winning performance.

We’ve gone for a highly competitive game with a 1-0 winning score for Heidenheim at the end of the 90.

A close call.
