- Patrick Rakovski will start in goal again, with Raphael Schäfer and Alexander Stephan still out injured.
- Javier Pinola is suspended after his fifth yellow card of the season and should be replaced by Marvin Plattenhardt at left-back.
- Mike Frantz and Alexander Esswein compete for a spot in the starting line-up.
- Tomas Pekhart is still the first option up front, with Sebastian Polter waiting for his chance on the bench.
- The new back-four worked well last weekend and all defenders should keep their spots, although the competition is huge with players like Emanuel Pogatetz, Christian Träsch or Ricardo Rodriguez waiting on the bench.
- In fact, interim manager Köstner is not expected to make any changes after a promising performance last week.
