Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
Holstein Kiel
Hannover will look to build on a 3-0 win over St. Pauli when they host Holstein Kiel to their HDI-Arena on Matchday 24. Die Roten impressed in their last league match, with the team putting an end to their three-game winless run. Hannover, though, are still sitting in the danger zone, only three points clear of bottom three, meaning that Friday’s clash is of big importance for the hosts.
Philipp Ochs is a major doubt following his recent positive test for COVID-19, while fellow midfielder Sebastian Ernst misses out with an Achilles tendon problem. Kiel, on the other hand, are in the same situation as they are sitting just above Hannover in the 2. Bundesliga table. The two teams seem to be evenly matched at the moment, and, taking everything into account, the share of spoils is on the cards. Both Lewis Holtby and Mikkel Kirkeskov are rated doubtful, while Hauke Wahl should recover from illness (flu).
