Team News

Leverkusen
Holstein Kiel
  • Barring late injuries, Xabi Alonso should have a full strength squad at his disposal.
  • Steven Skrzybski is nearing a return from a calf injury. Colin Kleine-Bekel is coming back from an ACL injury, while Alexander Bernhardsson is struggling with a thigh injury. Andu Kelati is battling knee pain.

Prediction

  • It's from one extreme to the other for Leverkusen from European giants AC Milan to promoted Holstein Kiel who have all week to prepare.
  • Bottom club Kiel, German champions in 1912, have picked up just a single point at fellow strugglers Bochum.
  • After relinquishing their unbeaten record after 35 games, Xabi Alonso's record-breaking champions will be keen to launch another long unbeaten run and can get the job done here with the minimum of fuss.
