Prediction: 3-0
Holstein Kiel
Leipzig will look to build on back-to-back wins over Hoffenheim and Wolfsburg when they take on Holstein Kiel in the Bundesliga round 30. The Red Bulls are determined to represent Germany in the Champions League for yet another term and a win over Kiel will see them move one step closer to meeting their goal. The bad news for the hosts, though, is that Xavi Simons misses out through suspension after scoring a brace in the last league match.
The likes of Xaver Schlager, Benjamin Henrichs, and Antonio Nusa are sidelined with injuries. Meanwhile, the visitors are stuck at the bottom with only 18 points on their account. As Holstein Kiel are low on confidence following a heart-breaking loss to St. Pauli, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. David Zec is back from suspension, but all Patrick Erras, Colin Kleine-Bekel, Ivan Nekic, Lewis Holtby, and Benedikt Pichler miss out with injuries.

Willi Orban was born on 3 November, 1992 in Kaiserslautern, Germany. Orban plays as a centre back, but he can operate as a defensive midfielder as well.
