Recap
Hoffenheim II are an exciting young side that favors a fast-paced, attacking style of football. Head coach Stefan Kleineheismann’s team recently secured an impressive 1-2 away victory over Ingolstadt, adding to their earlier successes against Fortuna Düsseldorf (0-2) and Regensburg (5-1).
Despite their youthful squad, TSG also have valuable experience in 36-year-old Klaus Gjasula. In attack, Yasin Zor has been particularly effective in front of goal, already finding the net five times, while Florian Micheler has contributed three assists.
Meppen is going through a difficult spell, having suffered three consecutive defeats while conceding 11 goals. This poor run has seen them fall into the relegation zone and their situation is further complicated by several important absences:
❌Zehir (5/1) – suspended
❌Sprekelmeyer (4/0) – suspended
❌Zenga (1/0)
❌Fedl (1/0)
The hosts have a good opportunity to continue their good momentum and secure another victory.
