Team News

Hoffenheim
Holstein Kiel
  • Ozan Kabak is ruled out until the end of the year with an ACL injury. Marco John and Stanley Nsoki are both feeling their way back in training, while David Jurasek is on the way back from a broken arm.
  • Finn Becker and Ihlas Bebou are both recovering from knee ops, while Tom Bischof has an ankle problem.
  • Carl Johansson has a muscle injury, while Steven Skrzybski has a calf injury.
  • Colin Kleine-Bekel is ruled out with an ACL injury, while Timo Becker is on his way back from a ligament tear.

Prediction

  • Promoted Kiel will fancy their chances against a Hoffenheim side that flattered to deceive for long periods last season, but still finished in seventh spot.
  • That said, inconsistent Hoffenheim should prove too strong for minnows Kiel on their first outing in the Bundesliga top-flight.
