Team News

Holstein Kiel
Wolfsburg
  • Carl Johansson could return from a muscle injury, while Steven Skrzybski has a calf injury. Colin Kleine-Bekel is ruled out with an ACL injury, while Andu Kelati is suspended after his dismissal last weekend.
  • Joakim Maehle is on his way back from a muscle tear, while Bartosz Bialek has a knee problem. Kevin Paredes is ruled out until mid-September with a foot injury.
  • Aster Vranckx has a stomach muscle injury, while Rogerio is recovering from a knee op, and Lukas Nmecha is on his way back from a thigh injury.

Prediction

  • A Northern Derby with both sides looking to recover from narrow 3-2 opening day defeats.
  • Promoted Kiel will fancy their chances against a Wolfsburg side that flattered to deceive for long periods last season, but have improved under ex-Southampton and Leipzig boss Ralph Hasenhüttl.
  • Wolfsburg will be expected to win this, but go for the home side to nick a draw at good odds.
