They have important players and personalities like Jonas Hector, Timo Horn and Ellyes Skhiri lost. But I think they’re really tough opponents who are always brave and hungry. We’ve felt that in previous games. We’re looking forward to the challenge. We’re playing at home and we know we need a good performance, to win the game.”
