THE TEAM NEWS
HOFFENHEIM
With Ozan Kabak and Stanley Nsoki both out for Hoffenheim, expect Kevin Akpoguma, John Brooks and Attila Szalai to line-up together in a back three. Midfielder Dennis Geiger is also missing, as is striker Andrej Kramaric, with Maximilian Baier likely to get the nod alongside Wout Weghorst as part of a front two.
PREDICTED XI (3-5-2): Baumann; Akpoguma, Brooks, Szalai; Kaderabek, Promel, Grillitsch, Stach, Skov; Weghorst, Beier
UNAVAILABLE: Geiger (Injured), John (Injured), Kabak (Injured), Kramaric (Injured), Nsoki (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Vogt (Injured)
EINTRACHT FRANKFURT
Dino Toppmoller will check on the fitness of Kristijan Jakic leading up to this game, with the midfielder’s knee problem rendering him a doubt. However, both Sebastian Rode and Simon Simoni are definitely out with calf and elbow injuries respectively.
PREDICTED XI (3-4-3): Trapp; Tuta, Koch, Pacho; Buta, Larsson, Shkiri, Nkounkou; Gotze, Marmoush, Chaibi
UNAVAILABLE: Rode (Injured), Simoni (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Jakic (Injured)
THE PREDICTION
Eintracht Frankfurt’s lack of cutting edge in front of goal has prevented them from taking the next big step and breaking into the European places. In seven Bundesliga fixtures, they’ve scored just six goals. Hoffenheim meanwhile, boast 16 goals to their name and four wins from their last five. Even without Kramaric, they have enough attacking firepower to cause Eintracht serious problems here and with home advantage in their favour, backing Hoffenheim to edge out their toothless opponents has to be favoured.
