Confirmed DFB Pokal lineups: HSV vs. Kiel

HSV host Holstein Kiel tonight at the Volksparkstadion in a tense Round-of-16 clash. As favourites, HSV will hope their stronger squad and home crowd push them through — but Kiel know how to cause upsets (just ask Bayern Munich!).

Kiel arrive battle-hardened: despite recent struggles in the league, they knocked out Wolfsburg in the previous cup round and historically have always been a tough opponent for Hamburg — especially away.

With just about an hour to go until kickoff, here are the confirmed lineups of both teams:
