THE TEAM NEWS
GREUTHER FURTH
- Greuther Furth's 2-0 defeat at Stuttgart last Saturday was their first in the league since Matchday 1 but they will still be pleased with their season so far.
- Centre-back Maximilian Bauer has been ruled out again after missing the trip to Stuttgart along with long-term absentees Marco Meyerhofer and Sebastian Ernst.
- Coach Stefan Leitl has no new injury worries so he is not expected to tinker much with the team that started at Stuttgart, although top scorer Daniel Keita-Ruel is pushing for a recall.
Predicted line-up (4-1-4-1): Burchert; Sauer, Caligiuri, Mavraj, Wittek; Sarpei; Hrgota, Seguin, Green, Mohr; Keita-Ruel
Unavailable: Meyerhofer (Injured), Ernst (Injured), Bauer (Injured), Steininger (Out of favour), Parker (Out of favour)
Doubtful: Kehr (Injured)
HOLSTEIN KIEL
- Holstein Kiel lost 2-1 at home to Hannover 96 last Friday in their first game under interim coach Ole Werner, who remains in charge for this match.
- Werner's team selection against Hannover raised some eyebrows as he made a total of five changes, including in goal where summer signing Ioannis Gelios was preferred to Dominik Reimann.
- Striker Emmanuel Iyoha is out after being forced off at half-time against Hannover while Finn Porath and Aleksandar Ignjovski both sustained injuries in training this week which are likely to rule them out.
Predicted line-up (4-3-3): Gelios; Todorovic, Wahl, Schmidt, Van den Bergh; Meffert, Muhling, Ozcan; Atanga, Serra, Lee Jae-Sung
Unavailable: Dehm (Injured), Sander (Injured), Iyoha (Injured), Ignjovski (Injured)
Doubtful: Porath (Injured)
THE PREDICTION
Greuther Furth will not be too downhearted after their defeat at Stuttgart as they were very much in the game against the league leaders. Leitl's side will thus be confident of returning to winning ways against struggling Holstein Kiel, who have lost seven of their last eight away league games.
