Majer crocked, Özcan debut

Wolfsburg worry
Knudsen chops down that man Arnold, who remains on the deck for a lengthy period. The 30-year-old hobbles off, before subsequently making his way back into the action

Goal-stein Kiel
Kiel fired off 15 attempts on goal against Hoffenheim, finishing the game with an Expected Goals (xG) rating of 2.0. They have now scored at least once in their last 26 competitive games, dating back to a 2-0 home loss to Nuremberg on 29 October 2023.
Previous meeting
The last meeting between Kiel and Wolfsburg was the second leg of a relegation playoff in 2018, where a late Robin Knoche goal ensured victory for Wolfsburg, who had already won the first leg 3-1.
New surroundings
Kiel's defeat on the opening day will have been a reality check about the task that lays ahead of them this season. They'll aim to shore up their defence ahead of Wolfsburg's visit to give them a chance of securing their first win of the season early on.
