Team News

Holstein Kiel
Bochum
  • Colin Kleine-Bekel is on his way back from an ACL injury. Patrick Erras has a concussion, Marvin Schulz is battling a muscle injury, while Alexander Bernhardsson is ruled out for several weeks with a patella injury.
  • Nicolai Remberg is available after suspension, but Carl Johansson has a knee niggle.
  • Ibrahima Sissoko is suspended after picking up five yellow cards, but Dieter Hecking, barring late injuries, is likely to have a full-strength squad at his disposal.

Prediction

  • A meeting of the bottom two so it's the proverbial relegation six-pointer.
  • Kiel, German champions way back in 1912, have shipped the most goals, 52 in just 20 games.
  • Bottom club Bochum have improved of late under head coach Dieter Hecking but still remain rooted to the foot of the table.
  • Kiel occupy an automatic relegation spot, despite a recent upturn including a shock 4-2 win over hapless Borussia Dortmund.
  • Kiel should have the quality to nick this one on home soil with goals at a premium.

  • BTTS is almost guaranteed when these two meet, with the last 8 H2H matches seeing both the teams scoring. Holstein is also on an 8 game BTTS streak. Safe to back BTTS in this encounter as well.

  • I can see this match BTTS defenitly

  • There should be 2 goals in this game...over 1.5 safe pick for your accas
