Confirmed 2. Bundesliga Lineups: SV Darmstadt 98 vs. Holstein Kiel

Darmstadt host Holstein Kiel in the standout game of matchday 1 on Saturday afternoon. Florian Kohfeldt’s men were in the race for promotion last season, while Kiel endured a difficult time after an immediate return from their debut Bundesliga campaign.

Both teams could now push for a Bundesliga promotion as they will start the season with a head-to-head fixture. The hosts have a new-look attacking line after the summer departure of Isac Lidberg, Fraser Hornby and Marco Richter.

Here are how the two teams will start the game at Bollenfalltor.
