Team News

Holstein Kiel
Mainz
  • Magnus Knudsen is suspended after picking up five yellow cards.
  • Andreas Hanche-Olsen is nearing a return from a broken toe, while fellow defender Moritz Jenz is struggling with a muscle injury.

Prediction

  • Mainz impressively eased past beat Dortmund 3-1 last time out, but that momentum may have been stalled by the international break.
  • Kiel, German champions way back in 1912, have conceded at least two goals in every game this season, apart from their first-ever Bundesliga win against Heidenheim.
  • A share of the spoils could be a good shout here.
