Holstein Kiel

Holstein Kiel celebrated their 2.Bundesliga survival last week with their fourth straight victory!

They beat Eintracht Braunschweig 2-0, which was their sixth consecutive unbeaten match (5 wins), so their league survival is well deserved.

Overall, this was a season to forget for Holstein Kiel. From a Bundesliga promotion contender last year, they were dragged into a relegation battle this season. Changes are coming up this summer, and perhaps next year will be better.

Magdeburg

Holstein Kiel did their thing last week; now it’s Magdeburg’s turn. Magdeburg sits two points above the automatic relegation spots with two games in hand, so two wins would guarantee them 2.Bundesliga survival.

And there are some good reasons to back Magdeburg. First, their recent form has been outstanding – 4 wins in 6 games, including a highly important 1-0 victory against Hertha Berlin last week. They are capable of stepping up, and I expect more of the same in this match.

Even though Magdeburg have lost 4 of their last 6 away games, they are sitting 6th on the away table.

The Betting Verdict

Magdeburg is in fine form heading to this high-stakes trip.

Holstein Kiel secured their status last week, so some line-up changes are expected, which gives Magdeburg a good chance of winning at solid odds.

Take the away win for Magdeburg here.
