Team News

Holstein Kiel
FC Heidenheim
  • Colin Kleine-Bekel is coming back from an ACL injury, while Andu Kelati is battling knee pain.
  • Ex-Bayern Munich striker Fiete Arp is suspended after his dismissal last weekend.
  • Alexander Bernhardsson has adductor problems, while Lewis Holtby is struggling with a back injury.
  • Thomas Keller is on his way back from a long-standing ACL injury, as is Julian Niehues. Lukas Janes is doubtful with a shoulder injury.

Prediction

  • Both teams featured in the DFB Pokal in midweek but Kiel do enjoy 24 hours more rest and recuperation.
  • Heidenheim continue to punch above their weight, impressing in European competition as well this season.
  • Kiel, German champions way back in 1912, have shipped at least two goals in every game this term.
  • A share of the spoils could be a good shout here between two of the minnows of the Bundesliga.
