The Bundesliga 2 meeting at Voith-Arena on Friday will see home team Heidenheim do battle with Karlsruhe. We have the latest player updates and predicted teams line ups.
Heidenheim will play in this game following on from a 1-1 Bundesliga 2 drawn game vs Fortuna Dusseldorf. It seems likely that Heidenheim should use a 4-1-4-1 formation for this one, handing starts to Kevin Müller, Marnon Busch, Patrick Mainka, Tim Siersleben, Jonas Föhrenbach, Lennard Maloney, Florian Pick, Kevin Sessa, Jan Schöppner, Jan-Niklas Beste and Tim Kleindienst.
Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just the sole fitness concern for the Heidenheim manager Frank Schmidt to be concerned about due to a largely intact set of players. Elidon Qenaj won’t play. Denis Thomalla will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.
How Heidenheim could look to play Karlsruhe
Karlsruhe will come into the match after a 4-2 Bundesliga 2 win vs Hamburg in their most recent match. It’s our belief that Karlsruhe appear most likely to make use of a 4-4-2 formation using Marius Gersbeck, Marco Thiede, Christoph Kobald, Marcel Franke, Philip Heise, Paul Nebel, Leon Jensen, Jerome Gondorf, Marvin Wanitzek, Mikkel Kaufmann and Fabian Schleusener.
Karlsruher boss Christian Eichner has multiple availability issues to deal with. Tim Breithaupt (Ankle Fracture), Efe Kaan Sihlaroglu (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) and Kyoung-rok Choi (Collarbone fracture) are not able to play.
