Prediction: 2-1
Holstein Kiel
After surviving Wurzburger Kickers in their German Cup opener, Hoffenheim will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Holstein Kiel in the Bundesliga round 1. Summer signing Marius Bulter should play some part in Saturday’s game after scoring as a substitute in the DFB Pokal clash, while the likes of Ihlas Bebou, David Jurasek, Finn Ole Becker, and Mergim Berisha should miss out with injuries.
Kiel, on the other hand, aim to build on the German Cup win over Alemannia Aachen, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry in the PreZero Arena clash. As Hoffenheim are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we predict that the newcomers are going to return to Schleswig-Holstein with their hands empty. When the two teams met in the DFB Pokal three years ago Hoffenheim crushed Holstein Kiel 5-1. The likes of Carl Johansson, Steven Skrzybski, and Colin Kleine-Bekel are injured for the away team.
Highlighted Player (Pavel Kaderabek):
Pavel Kaderabek is a Czech Republic defender born on 25 April 1992, who has enjoyed a bright start to his professional career. Coming through the youth ranks at Sparta Prague and gaining some first team experience during a loan spell with Viktoria Zizkov, the right-sided defender was finally able to show what he is capable of during the 2012/2013 season and he didn’t need a lot of time to make the next step in his career.
After scoring impressive 10 goals in 76 league appearances for Sparta Prague, Kaderabek joined Bundesliga side Hoffenheim in the summer of 2015, shortly after he had established himself as a starting right-back in the Czech Republic national team.
The talented footballer helped Repre make it to the Euro 2016 finals by starting 9 qualifying matches, once again proving his killer instinct by scoring two goals. Pavel Kaderabek looks set to become one of leading players of the new generation and a big club move may not be far away either.
