Hoffenheim name both Kevin Volland and Joselu to start as they visit Bundesliga's basement club Greuther Furth.
Joselu looks likely to play just off Volland and the pair will be supported by Stephan Schrock and Roberto Firmino.
For the hosting Furth, two-goal striker Nikola Djurdjic starts up front and the bottom side are looking to keep things tight with a combative central midfield three of Johannes Geis, Jozsef Varga and Stephan Furstner.
Furth: Grun; Baba, Mavraj, Sobiech, Zimmermann; Gels, Varga, Furstner; Park, Klaus; Djurdjic
Hoffenheim: Gomes; Beck, Delpierre, Vestergaard, Ochs; Williams, Weis; Schrock, Firmino, Joselu; Volland
