In Bielefeld, the coach had to do without Sebastian Rudy (back problems) and Munas Dabbur (cold). Now the duo is back in training and thus on Saturday (15.30, live! At Sebastian) an option against the VfL Wolfsburg. To what extent are both in question for the starting eleven, hardly forecast. Especially Dabbur, who actually has excellent qualities in the box, has so far not been able to convince permanently in the Kraichgau. The quota of the 29-year-old in the Bundesliga is manageable with nine hits at 40 missions, runner and in terms of pace he has a lot of the position competitor Ihlas Bebou a lot. On the other hand, in the spectacular 2: 3 in Dortmund on the 3rd match day, he met in the meantime 2: 2 in the meantime.

Does Hoeness even build completely?

Midfieldroutinian Rudy enjoys the highest appreciation at Hoeneß, but against Wolfsburg, the defensive battle stroke talked more about Diadie Samassekou or Dennis Geiger on the side of Florian Grillitsch in the midfield center. Unless Hoeneß builds completely against the Lower Saxony, Kramaric puts in the top and one of the mentioned center players to the ten. The added extra stability and lacked it in the early terminal at 0: 0 at Arminia dramatically.

In any case, the next few weeks in Hoffenheim are likely to be exciting, because they lead to a trend-setting character. After the Furiosen 4: 0 For the season opener in Augsburg the TSG hard – five points from five games, that s too little for this squad. Especially the 0: 2 against Mainz 05 has left some observers concentrated. The game against the wolves and the following Baden-Württemberg duel at the VFB Stuttgart before the fible break will be crucial for the question of whether the Hoffenheim season opener can be designated as successful.
