Team News

Holstein Kiel
Kaiserslautern
  • Finn Porath suffered a hip injury during the win against Hamburg, while Lewis Holtby was sent off in the second half.
  • With the influential duo both sidelined, expect Tom Rothe and Nicolai Remberg to step into the starting XI.
  • Julian Niehues and Hendrick Zuck are Kaiserslautern's only confirmed absentees for the trip to Holstein-Stadion.
  • Aaron Opoku should return to the starting XI after missing the game against Wehen Wiesbaden, while Tobias Raschl is also in line for a recall.

Prediction

  • Holstein Kiel continued their march towards the 2.Bundesliga title last Saturday, holding on with 10 men to claim an impressive 1-0 away win against Hamburg. Saturday's hosts have won six successive league matches and sit six points clear of third-placed Fortuna Düsseldorf with four games left to play.
  • Kaiserslautern were on course for a priceless 1-0 win against relegation rivals Wehen Wiesbaden last time out before a late goal from Ivan Prtajin levelled the scoreline. Friedhelm Funkel's men have picked up just two points from their last five 2.Bundesliga matches and are two points adrift from safety.
