The Bundesliga game at Holstein-Stadion on Saturday will see hosts Holstein Kiel welcome visiting opponents Hoffenheim. Let’s check on the predicted line ups and player availability.
Holstein Kiel are hoping to win again following a 4-2 Bundesliga victory vs Borussia Dortmund. It seems likely that Holstein Kiel should opt for a 3-4-2-1 formation in the match and select Timon Weiner, Timo Becker, David Zec, Marko Ivezic, Lasse Rosenboom, Nicolai Remberg, Magnus Knudsen, Finn Porath, A. Bernhardsson, Shuto Machino and Phil Harres.
Steven Skrzybski, Marvin Schulz, Patrick Erras and Colin Kleine-Bekel are not available for Kiel boss Marcel Rapp.
Possible Holstein Kiel team versus Hoffenheim
After being beaten in their last game against Bayern Munich in Bundesliga competition, Hoffenheim and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here. It’s our belief that Hoffenheim appear most likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 lineup with a starting lineup of Oliver Baumann, Valentin Gendrey, Arthur Chaves, Stanley Nsoki, Alexander Prass, Dennis Geiger, Florian Grillitsch, Tom Bischof, Andrej Kramaric, Gift Orban and Adam Hlozek.
Hoffenheim manager Christian Ilzer has a number of players out of action. Marius Bülter (Hamstring injury), Christopher Lenz (Calf injury), Grischa Prömel (Cruciate ligament tear), Ihlas Bebou (Knee surgery), Ozan Kabak (Cruciate ligament tear) and Umut Tohumcu (Ankle injury) won’t be making appearances.
