Holstein Kiel vs Kaiserslautern Prediction & Betting tips
Kiel – Lautern, both clubs look back on the season with different feelings. Aufsteiger Holstein Kiel has remarkably well presented and stands with seven points also outstanding. The 1. FC Kaiserslautern, on the other hand, is still unbeatable and with just two points before last. In order not to hang from the beginning in the cellar, the Red Devils should score points in the far north.
Both clubs stood opposite each other only three times, each in gray prehistory. In the final round of the German Championship 195/53 the FCK won 4-2 in Kiel and 2-1 in home. And in 1965/66, the Red Devils in the round of the DFB Cup were clearly 3-0.
Holstein Kiel :
Holstein Kiel has already indicated in the preparation, after the rise also in the 2nd Bundesliga to be competitive. The storks lost none of their eight test games and drew their attention, among other things, with victories against Hamburger SV (5: 3) and Odense BK (2-0). At the start of the season, they were able to make a 2-2 win against SV Sandhausen. Afterwards, Kiel had to beat the 1. FC Union Berlin after a 3: 4 open defeat before the DFB Cup against Eintracht Braunschweig (2: 1) a first victory. And this confirmed the team of coach Markus early then with the first three in the league against the SpVgg Greuther Fürth (3: 1), the SSV Jahn Regensburg (2: 1) a completely deserved first away win. In the national pause, the small series was continued with a 3: 1 against Hamburger SV II.
After the strong performance in Regensburg, there is no reason to change. However, the injured Christopher Lenz has to be replaced, for whom Johannes van den Bergh, who has just returned, could begin. Nor is Ilir Azemi, the second newcomer, Aaron Seydel, for the first time to belong to the squad.
Prospective installation: Kronholm – Herrmann, Schmidt, Czichos, van den Bergh – Kinsombi – Schindler, Mühling, Drexler, Lewerenz – Ducksch
Kaiserslautern :
The 1. FC Kaiserslautern has already revealed in the preparation one or other problem and not quite surprising it ran then also to the season start anything but optimal. At first, the Pfälzer had a 3-0 defeat at 1. FC Nürnberg and did not get beyond a 1-1 draw in the first home game against SV Darmstadt 98. After all, there was a 4: 0 victory in the DFB Cup with regional league star SV Eichede, who did not really give the backwind. Instead they went on to a 2-0 defeat at Fortuna Dusseldorf, who took the second 1-1 in the second home game against Eintracht Braunschweig. The Red Devils have the biggest deficits as in the pre-season again in the game forward, as only two goals in four Ligaspielen easily. On the transfer market the problem was reacted.
It is not impossible that the Swede, Sebastian Andersson, who has just been forced to make a transfer, is on his way from the start. Daniel Halfar should have been able to cure his brain damage from the match against Braunschweig and since Kacper Przybylko celebrated his comeback in the charity match, all men are on board.
Prospective installation: Müller – Kessel, Vucur, Correia – Mwene, Halfar, Albaek, Guwara – Kastaneer, Atik – Andersson
