Dynamo Dresden

Dynamo Dresden cannot drop out directly, but has only a two-point advantage over the relegation playoff spot.

Their goal difference is even, and it's risky if they only draw here, so we should expect them to go for a win against perfectly safe Holstein Kiel.

Dynamo Dresden is in solid form, having won 3 of their last 5 matches. They missed a huge chance to secure their status last week after losing 2-1 to Eintracht Braunschweig, which now puts more pressure on them.

However, we should not forget Dynamo Dresden’s recent stellar home performances, as they have won 4 of the last 5 at home.

Holstein Kiel

Holstein Kiel’s fantastic run of 4 straight victories saved them from relegation worries, and their last week’s 1-3 home loss to Magdeburg is without meaning.

They are finishing in the lower part of the 2.Bundesliga, close to mid-table, which is a success considering how long they struggled near or in the relegation zone.

Another huge factor that contributed to their safety was away performances in recent weeks. Holstein Kiel won all their last three away games before this trip to Dresden.

The Betting Verdict

Dynamo Dresden have not beaten Holstein Kiel in 6 straight duels, losing 5 times.

Holstein Kiel is safe and relaxed now, and Dynamo Dresden is not. They need a win, which I believe they’ll get.

Dynamo Dresden won 4 of their last 5 at home, and they should close out this season with a win in their final home game at fair odds.

The Pick :

Dynamo Dresden 2-1 Holstein Kiel
