Player to watch – Tom Rothe

Tom Rothe has been a bright spark at left back for Union Berlin this season, netting twice and assisting twice in 13 starts in the Bundesliga for the Iron Ones since August.

Rothe can perform against Kiel again

Rothe had an impactful outing against Holstein Kiel back in October when the 20-year-old created one of the goals and scored the other in the Iron Ones 2-0 win. The flying fullback will be determined to make a similar splash on Sunday.
