Team News

Holstein Kiel
Borussia Dortmund
  • Patrick Erras has a concussion, Marvin Schulz is battling a muscle injury, while Steven Skrzybski has problems with his Achilles.
  • Filippo Mané has a calf issue, while Niklas Süle will be out for several months with an ankle injury.
  • Pascal Gross is suspended for one more game after his red card before the winter break.
  • Waldemar Anton, Nico Schlotterbeck, Emre Can, Ramy Bensebaini and Alexander Meyer are all reportedly struggling with illness.

Prediction

  • The Bundesliga resumed after the winter pause with injury-hit Dortmund losing 3-2 to Leverkusen under the Friday evening floodlights.
  • Apart from their two wins, Kiel, German champions way back in 1912, have conceded at least two goals in every game this season.
  • Dortmund have suffered from travel sickness with just a single away win at Wolfsburg to end 2024.
  • Despite their injury problems, Dortmund should win this fairly easily, but BTTS is the play too.
