-------------------------------------
Holstein Kiel
The home team will be without the services of Marvin Schulz, Steven Skrzybski, Colin Kleine-Bekel, and Patrick Erras. Apart from the quartet, everyone should be available for selection for Marcel Rapp.
Holstein Kiel will line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation, where Timon Weiner will be in goal. The back three will be made up of Timo Becker, David Zec, and Marco Komenda.
Lasse Rosenboom and Finn Porath will feature in the wing-back role, and they will surely have a lot of defending to do. In the centre of the park, Nicolai Remberg will pair up with Armin Gigovic. Alexander Bernhardsson and Shuto Machino will be the two chief creators behind Phil Harres, who will lead the line for Holstein Kiel against Borussia Dortmund.
Borussia Dortmund
A flu outbreak which affected as many as 12 players forced Nuri Sahin to start without quite a few of his regulars last time out. Emre Can, Nico Schlotterbeck, and Waldemar Anton are among those who were affected, and they might not yet be ready to be involved in this fixture. Niklas Sule remains sidelined with an injury, while Pascal Gross is suspended.
The visitors will stick to the 4-2-3-1 formation, where Gregor Kobel will be in goal. The back four could once again be made up of Yan Couto, Julian Ryerson, Yannick Luhrs and Marcel Sabitzer. Couto and Sabitzer will be the full-backs, while Ryerson and Luhrs will feature in the heart of the defence.
In the centre of the park, Felix Nmecha could form the double pivot with Julian Brandt. The duo will not only look to shield the backline but also control the tempo of the game. Maximilian Beier will take up the no. 10 role, while Karim Adeyemi and Jamie Bynoe-Gittens will feature out wide on the flanks. Serhou Guirassy should lead the line for Borussia Dortmund against Holstein Kiel.
Holstein Kiel possible starting lineup:
Weiner; Becker, Zec, Komenda; Rosenboom, Remberg, Gigovic, Porath; Bernhardsson, Machino; Harres
Borussia Dortmund possible starting lineup:
Kobel; Couto, Ryerson, Luhrs, Sabitzer; Nmecha, Brandt; Adeyemi, Beier, Bynoe-Gittens; Guirassy
Holstein Kiel vs Borussia Dortmund Head-To-Head and Key Numbers
This will be the third encounter between Holstein Kiel and Borussia Dortmund, with BVB picking up two wins from their previous two encounters.
Dortmund are unbeaten in five of their last six Bundesliga games, claiming two wins and three draws since the third week of November.
Holstein Kiel have lost six of their most recent seven Bundesliga games, with a 5-1 victory over Augsburg in December being the exception.
Dortmund have won just one of their seven Bundesliga away matches this season while losing four and claiming two draws so far.
Prediction: Holstein Kiel 2-3 Borussia Dortmund
If Dortmund come into the clash with several first-team starters missing due to illness, Holstein Kiel could have an opportunity to boost their survival chances. However, Sahin's side still managed to score twice against the champions, and their attacking firepower could help them escape Holstein-Stadion with three points.
