LLLLDL ⚠

Wehen Wiesbaden will be hoping to bounce back here following the 3-5 Bundesliga 2 loss in their previous game against Greuther Furth.

In that match, Wehen Wiesbaden managed 44% possession and 20 attempts on goal with 6 of them on target. For Wehen Wiesbaden, the scorers were Ivan Prtajin (3', 72') and Nikolas Agrafiotis (18'). Greuther Furth got 15 attempts on goal with 7 of them on target. Branimir Hrgota (26', 96'), Armindo Sieb (38', 43') and Lukas Petkov (84') scored for Greuther Furth.

It has been seldom in recent games where Wehen Wiesbaden have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The facts show that Wehen Wiesbaden have been scored against in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, letting in 15 goals on the way. That trend might not follow through into this match, of course.

Coming into this fixture, Wehen Wiesbaden are without a home win in the past 6 league matches. Their supporters are understandably frustrated.

📋 Team News: Wehen Wiesbaden

Lasse Günther (Torn muscle fiber), Nico Rieble (muscular problems) and Nassim El Ouarti (Ankle injury) won’t be playing for Wehen Wiesbaden gaffer Markus Kauczinski.

In our view, Wiesbaden look set to go for a 4-4-2 system in the match with Florian Stritzel, Sascha Mockenhaupt, Martin Angha, Aleksandar Vukotic, Florian Carstens, Thijmen Goppel, Robin Heußer, Gino Fechner, Hyun-ju Lee, Ivan Prtajin and Nikolas Agrafiotis.

📰 Team News: Holstein Kiel

Holstein Kiel boss Marcel Rapp has not got a full squad to pick from. Colin Kleine-Bekel (Cruciate ligament injury) and Finn Porath (Hamstring injury) are those who can’t be considered.

We reckon that Holstein Kiel might utilise a 3-4-1-2 lineup, choosing Timon Weiner, Carl Johansson, Patrick Erras, Marko Ivezic, Timo Becker, Philipp Sander, Lewis Holtby, Tom Rothe, Fiete Arp, A. Bernhardsson and Shuto Machino.

💡 Prediction

For this match, we think that Wehen Wiesbaden have the ability to breach the defence of this Holstein Kiel lineup, although just one goal is unlikely to be enough.

We can see a tight encounter finishing with a 1-2 victory for Holstein Kiel by the conclusion of the game. Looking forward to this.
