Impact Kramaric finished calmly to record his 10th league goal of the season, adding to his four assists on the campaign. He has started 2026 in excellent form with seven goals in his last eight league matches, and his 45 shots this season place him among the top strikers in the Bundesliga.

Albian Hajdari - Assists against Koln Hajdari assisted once to go with two chances created and six clearances in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Koln.

Impact Hajdari delivered a crucial assist with a cross into the box for teammate Ozan Kabak to head home. The defender has featured at both left back and center back this season and has recorded 11 shots and five chances created, solid attacking numbers for a Bundesliga defender. While this marked just his first assist of the campaign, his defensive work remains his biggest strength, with 40 tackles and 24 interceptions placing him among the more reliable defenders in the league. If he continues to see time at left back, there could be greater attacking involvement going forward. Hajdari will next face St Pauli, who sit 16th, presenting a favorable matchup.

Ozan Kabak - Scored against Koln Kabak scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) and eight clearances in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Koln.

Impact Kabak scored for the second consecutive match, bringing his league tally to four goals this season, a total that places him among the top scoring center backs in the league. While Hoffenheim have continued to struggle defensively, conceding 30 goals in 23 matches, his attacking threat from the back has remained a clear positive. Kabak will look to help stabilize things defensively in the next fixture against St Pauli, who currently sit 16th, making it a favorable matchup.

Oliver Baumann - Concedes two goals in loss Baumann made two saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Koln.

Impact Baumann had an active outing against Koln and has continued to face a heavy workload this season, dealing with 101 shots across 23 league matches while conceding 30 goals. His 70.3 percent save rate remains solid compared to many goalkeepers in the league, though the Hoffenheim defense has often left him exposed, with much of the team's success coming from their attacking play rather than defensive stability. Baumann's next fixture comes against St Pauli, who currently sit 16th, presenting a favorable opportunity to return to keeping a clean sheet.

Cole Campbell - Option for play again Campbell (ankle) has been deemed fit ahead of Saturday's match against St. Pauli, according to manager Christian Ilzer.

Impact Campbell is back in the mix after he was suffering from an injury, with the midfielder putting his ankle issue in the rearview mirror. This is good for the player, but he is unlikely to see much of a role this season, only appearing for 16 minutes off the bench all season.

Bernardo - Set for play Bernardo (undisclosed) is an option for Saturday's match against St. Pauli, according to manager Christian Ilzer. "Bernardo is available again and will be in the squad."

Impact Bernanrdo is not going to miss any more time after a time out with an undisclosed injury, cleared for play Saturday. This will give the club back a starting defender after four games away, huge news as the squad recovers from some injuries. The big question is whether he will start immediately, looking plausible as a defender.

Impact Moerstedt will be one of numerous players to hit the sidelines Saturday, as the forward is suffering from an illness. This is a minor loss for the club, as he has only started once all season, although the club is low on attacking options. The good news is he should recover quickly, possibly an option to face Heidenheim on March 7.

Impact Bebou is sidelined for Saturday's matchup against Koln due to illness.

Impact Lemperle is still dealing with an ankle injury and will not be available for Saturday's matchup against Koln. The forward was unable to get back to full fitness in time and will now aim to return for next week's fixture. In his absence, Bazoumana Toure is set to continue taking on a bigger role in the attack and should see extended minutes while Lemperle remains sidelined.

Impact Bernardo sat out the last two matches with an injury, but the defender was back in full training this week and is firmly in the mix for Saturday's showdown against the Goats. The Brazilian has been a locked-in starter along the back line whenever he is healthy, and he could step right back into that role if the staff feel he is ready to go from the opening whistle.

Impact Campbell has been battling an ankle injury and has been out for an extended stretch, but the attacking midfielder returned to full team training this week and is trending toward being available for Saturday's showdown against the Goats. That said, his return is not expected to shake up the starting XI, as he is likely to ease back in as a bench option for the time being.

Kevin Akpoguma - Suspension over Akpoguma is no longer banned and is an option for the club moving forward.

Impact Akpoguma is no longer stuck with his red card and can return, an option to face Koln on Saturday. He earned the red card in his only start of the season and has mainly gone unused all season, unlikely to gain more time after a woe in his one chance to prove himself.
