1899 look to maintain good form

Matchday 33 in the Bundesliga sees 1899 Hoffenheim travel to Eintracht Frankfurt. Kick off at the Commerzbank-Arena is at 15:30 CET.

"We want to enjoy ourselves in these final two games," said attacker Vedad Ibisevic ahead of Saturday's match in Frankfurt. The Bosnian international has scored three times in his last two games an will be hoping to continue that form at the Commerzbank-Arena. "We can't allow them to play football. We need to hit them on the counter," said Ralf Rangnick.

Vorsah back in the squad

The 1899 supremo will be without captain Per Nilsson, goalkeeper Timo Hildebrand and defender Andreas Ibertsberger for the clash, while Matthias Jaissle and Demba Ba remain long-term absentees. Isaac Vorsah could make a return. The Ghanaian returned to training last week following months out with torn knee ligaments and will likely travel to Frankfurt. Carlos Eduardo and Andreas Beck appear to have overcome their respective knee problems, meaning Rangnick should be able to name an unchanged starting eleven.

Captain jumps ship

Eintracht's last home game of the season will be a sold out affair. Captain Christoph Spycher, who revealed he will be leaving the club at the end of the season, will be missing due to a knee injury. Zlatan Bajramovic, Alexander Vasoski (both still in rehab), Marco Russ (knee) and Caio (thigh) are also unavailable. Former Hoffenheim captain Selim Teber has overcome his knee injury and is fit to play against his old team-mates.
