Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
All eyes will be on Holstein-Stadion when Holstein Kiel and Hannover face each other in the 2. Bundesliga round 7. Following a thrilling 3-0 win over Aue, Holstein Kiel played out a 2-2 draw with Karlsruher at the weekend, with the team extending their brilliant goal-scoring run. The hosts are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach against Hannover, and we predict that they will find the net in Saturday’s showdown.
Keep in mind, though, that all Skrzybski, Korb, Holtby, Fridjonsson, Komenda, and Arslan are out of contention with injuries. Die Roten, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over St. Pauli, and seeing that they will go for a victory against Kiel as well, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. Midfielder Tom Trybull is quarantined, while both Sebastian Stolze and Franck Evina remain in the treatment room.
