Venue: Wildparkstadion.
Karlsruher SC
Kalrsruher SC will hope to bounce back from their 5-1 defeat at home to Greuther Furth on Saturday, their biggest loss of the season.
Having named the same line-up early in the last three games, Schwartz almost certainly freshen things up as he looks to end the year on a high.
That could mean a start for people like Frode, Pourie and Grozurek, but winger Choi Kyoung-Rok ruled out because of a cruciate ligament injury.

Not available: Muller (Injured), Choi Kyoung-Rok (Injured)
doubtful:
WEHEN WIESBADEN
Wehen Wiesbaden lost the chance to move out of the bottom three as they lost 3-1 at relegation rivals St Pauli on Saturday, and they have won just one of their last eight games.
Schaffler top scorer, who has netted 12 of the 20 goals in the Bundesliga 2 team this season, is suspended after picking up a fifth yellow card last weekend, so players Knoll loan could make his first start.
Otherwise, it will be a line-up looks familiar, with none of the six long-term absences are expected to return but no fresh injury concerns.
Predicted line-up (5-4-1): Lindner; Ajani, Mockenhaupt, Dams, Chato, Dittgen; Aigner, Titsch-Rivero, Mrowca, Kyereh; Small hill

Prediction
Both sides were promoted last season.
Both come from a heavy defeat at the weekend, so the first goal will be very important.
But back KSC to go into the winter break in a better spirit with a nervy victory against Wehen Wiesbaden lower, precious lost their leading scorer.
Karlsruher SC 2 0 Wehen
