Hoffenheim journey to Benteler-Arena on Saturday for their Bundesliga 1 tie with Paderborn. Time to bring you the latest player updates and predicted line ups.
Paderborn prepare for this fixture after a 0-0 Bundesliga 1 stalemate versus Fortuna Düsseldorf. In all likelihood, Paderborn could go for a 4-5-1 system for this game with Leopold Zingerle, Jamilu Collins, Sebastian Schonlau, Christian Strohdiek, Laurent Jans, Dennis Jastrzembski, Sebastian Vasiliadis, Klaus Gjasula, Kai Proger, Christopher Antwi-Adjej and Dennis Srbeny.
How Paderborn might line up versus Hoffenheim
Following on from tasting defeat last time out to Hertha BSC in Bundesliga 1 action, Hoffenheim and their fans will hope to get a better result this time. We are inclined to think that Hoffenheim appear most likely to utilise a 4-3-3 formation, starting Oliver Baumann, Steven Zuber, Benjamin Hübner, Stefan Posch, Pavel Kaderabek, Florian Grillitsch, Dennis Geiger, Sebastian Rudy, Christoph Baumgartner, Ihlas Bebou and Robert Skov.
Hoffenheim boss Alfred Schreuder has to choose a team with limited availability. Ermin Bicakcic (Achilles tendon injury), Ishak Belfodil (Cruciate ligament injury) and Sargis Adamyan (Ankle injury) miss out here.
