The away team has a few worries of its own. With such a sloppy performance this season, Roger Schmidt's men have racked up the least amount of points for Die Werkself in almost a decade. The absences of Admir Mehmedi, Kevin Volland and Kevin Kampl will damage the team's tactics, especially if they want to end their current three-game streak without a win in the domestic tournament.
The team's all-time top scorer, Stefan Kiessling, will try to celebrate a special personal milestone.
