Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Holstein Kiel will be eager to bounce back after their 4-3 loss to Bayern Munich, a game in which they showed great character by scoring two late goals. Marcel Rapp’s side has been strong at home this season, and the return of important midfielder Nicolai Remberg from suspension further boosts their chances. With a well-organized attack and a passionate home crowd behind them, Kiel will look to make a statement on Sunday.
Bochum, on the other hand, have struggled on their travels, with the team still eyeing their first away win of the season. Their midfield will be further weakened by the absence of Ibrahima Sissoko, who serves a suspension. Although Bochum can be dangerous in attack, their defensive vulnerabilities have been evident, and they may struggle to cope with Kiel’s intensity. With Kiel’s home form, Remberg’s return, and Bochum’s away struggles, we predict that the hosts are going to win Sunday's relegation six-pointer.
