Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Holstein Kiel and Werder Bremen face each other in a highly-anticipated 2. Bundesliga game at Holstein-Stadion. Kiel are not having a season to remember, with the team sitting in the relegation zone ahead of the visit of Werder Bremen. All Simon Lorenz, Noah Awuku, Marco Komenda, and Ahmet Arslan are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Die Werderaner, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous four league fixtures, but they need to start winning on a regular basis if they are to secure a top-three finish. Anyhow, Werder Bremen are more of a team than Holstein Kiel, and we predict that the promotion-chasing visitors are going to pick up all three points from the match. Midfielder Nicolai Rapp has been tested positive for coronavirus, while all Milos Veljkovic, Nick Woltemade, and Thore Jacobsen should miss out with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Theodor Gebre Selassie):
Born to Ethiopian father and Czech mother, Theodor Gebre Selassie was the first ever player of African descent to represent the Czech Republic national team when he was handed his debut back in 2011. The right-sided defender has since done well to nail down a regular starting berth and went on to play at the Euro 2012 and Euro 2016 finals.
Gebre Selassie represented the likes of Vysocina Jihlava, Velke Mezirici, Slavia Prague and Slovan Liberec, before the solid showing at the 2012 European Championship helped him earn a move to Werder Bremen.
The right back has performed well at the Weserstadion, but he eventually lost his place in the Czech Republic starting XI, making just three appearances during the Euro 2016 qualifying campaign. However, having amassed over 30 appearances for the national team with a proud history, he can be quite satisfied with how his international career has panned out so far, while there is still time to further raise his stock.
