Team News

Hoffenheim
Wolfsburg
  • Grischa Prömel will be out for several months with a ligament injury, while Benjamin Hübner is nearing a return from an ankle injury.
  • Backup goalkeeper Luca Philipp has had a operation on his finger, Munas Dabbur is ruled out with a shoulder injury, while Ihlas Bebou and Ermin Bicakcic are both recovering from knee injuries.
  • Lucas Nmecha is ruled out with a knee injury and will also miss the World Cup.
  • Kevin Paredes and Bartol Franjic are both ruled out because of calf problems.
  • Wantaway Max Kruse suffered a thigh injury and is unlikely to play for the club again.

Prediction

  • Volkswagen-backed Wolfsburg have 24 hours more recovery time going into the game having seen off Dortmund on Tuesday.
  • Hoffenheim are slipping down the table after a run of four games without a win, while Wolfsburg are improving all the time under Niko Kovac, unbeaten in seven league games.
  • A narrow win for the in-form Wolves would not be a surprise here.
