The Bundesliga 2 meeting at Home-Deluxe-Arena on Saturday sees home side Paderborn lock horns with visiting opponents Holstein Kiel, so let’s look at the latest injury news and predicted line ups.
Paderborn will be looking for a repeat result of the 1-2 Bundesliga 2 success over Kaiserslautern. We are thinking that Paderborn look set to go for a 3-4-3 formation for this game with Pelle Boevink, Laurin Curda, Martin Ens, Visar Musliu, Raphael Obermair, David Kinsombi, Kai Klefisch, Sebastian Klaas, Filip Bilbija, Koen Kostons and Ilyas Ansah.
Kimberly Ezekwem, Jannik Huth and Maximilian Rohr will be missing for Paderborn gaffer Lukas Kwasniok.
Possible Paderborn team versus Holstein Kiel
Holstein Kiel will go into the match following on from a 1-0 Bundesliga 2 win with the downing of Schalke in their last outing. It’s our belief that Holstein Kiel seem likely to elect for a 3-1-4-2 formation, giving starts to Timon Weiner, Timo Becker, Patrick Erras, Colin Kleine-Bekel, Marvin Schulz, Finn Porath, Lewis Holtby, Nicolai Remberg, Tom Rothe, Steven Skrzybski and Shuto Machino.
Kiel boss Marcel Rapp has multiple availability issues to deal with. Carl Johansson (Patellar tendon problems), Philipp Sander (bruise), Benedikt Pichler (Groin problems), Alexander Bernhardsson (infection) and Fiete Arp (Tendon tear) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.
