Holstein Kiel vs Bochum Prediction & Betting tips
Kiel – Bochum, two winners of the last weekend, whose interim results are still different. While Holstein Kiel, with 16 points and third place, is naturally very satisfied, the VfL Bochum, which has entered the ascent boom, has hoped for more than ten points after the first eight games.
For the time being, the paths of both clubs crossed. In the first round of the DFB Pokal 2002/03, Bochum played as a former Bundesliga player with just 2: 1 in the third-placed regional league North playing storks.
Holstein Kiel :
Holstein Kiel have already made an appearance with eight test matches without defeat, but they did not make a good start against SV Sandhausen (2: 2) and 1. FC Union Berlin (3: 4). The team of coach Markus Anfang then used the DFB Cup to fuel a 2: 1 victory against Eintracht Braunschweig self-confidence. The Stork in the league won a series of four victories in a row against SpVgg Greuther Fürth (3-1), SSV Jahn Regensburg (2-1), 1. FC Kaiserslautern (2-1) and the Erzgebirge Aue (3-0). This run ended with a 0: 1 at home against FC St. Pauli, but was obviously interrupted only briefly. At the MSV Duisburg, Kiel landed a 3: 1 victory last Friday.
While Christopher Lenz and Manuel Janzer are still going to be injured for longer, Patrick Herrmann returns to the starting line after a yellow / red ban. In general, however, no major changes are to be expected.
Probable lineup: Kronholm – Herrmann, Schmidt, Czichos, Heidinger – Peitz – Schindler, Drexler, Mühling, Lewerenz – Ducksch
Bochum:
After a change of coach from Gertjan Verbeek to Ismail Atalan almost three weeks before the start of the season, the VfL Bochum from the first two matches against FC St. Pauli (1: 1) and MSV Duisburg (1: 1) only one point, but then the compulsory task FC Nöttingen in the DFB-Cup with a 5-2 away away. But Arminia Bielefeld followed a 2-0 defeat and a good start was perfect. With wins against Dynamo Dresden (3: 2) and SV Darmstadt 98 (2: 1) the VfL made the connection, but a 1: 2 against the 1. FC Heidenheim and a 3: 1 at the 1. FC Nuremberg (1: 3) each, according to their own leadership, cost the laboriously gained ground directly. This made it all the more important for Sunday to land a 3-goal home against FC Ingolstadt (2-0).
It was a good chance for coach Atalan to be on top of a double-point after his success against Ingolstadt. But the strong Kevin Stöger has to be replaced by the fifth yellow card, for which Sidney Sam would be able to return. Otherwise only Luke Hemmerich and Timo Perthel will be missing.
Probable lineup: Riemann – Celozzi, Fabian, Bastians, Danilo – Losilla, Tesche – Sam, Kruse – Diamantakos, Hinterseer
