Holstein Kiel head to Olympiastadion on Friday for their Bundesliga 2 clash with Hertha Berlin. We have the latest player updates and predicted teams line ups.
Hertha Berlin go into this fixture after a 1-1 Bundesliga 2 drawn match against Eintracht Braunschweig.

Niederlechner, Fabian Reese and Marten Winkler.
Agustín Rogel and Marc Oliver Kempf will not be able to play for Hertha BSC boss Pál Dárdai.
How Hertha Berlin might line up against Holstein Kiel
After suffering a loss in their previous game against St. Pauli in Bundesliga 2 competition, Holstein Kiel will be aiming to make amends here. It’s our belief that Holstein Kiel could decide to elect for a 3-4-1-2 formation, going with Timon Weiner, Timo Becker, Patrick Erras, Colin Kleine-Bekel, Finn Porath, Marvin Schulz, Nicolai Remberg, Tom Rothe, Lewis Holtby, Shuto Machino and Steven Skrzybski.
Kiel boss Marcel Rapp has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Benedikt Pichler (Groin problems), Fiete Arp (Tendon tear) and Carl Johansson (Patellar tendon problems) are not ready for selection.
