Holstein Kiel
Holstein Kiel looked clueless last week in the duel against Preussen Munster. They lost 2-1, which was their fifth winless game in a row (three draws, two defeats).
They sit only a point above Fortuna Düsseldorf in the lower half of the 2.Bundesliga table, so they cannot relax and must push for points.
Recent history shows that Holstein Kiel remained unbeaten in five of the last six home duels against Fortuna Düsseldorf, winning three and drawing two matches.
Fortuna Düsseldorf
Markus Anfang got his first point as Fortuna Düsseldorf coach, with his team playing a 1-1 draw against Kaiserslautern last week. That was a first point after three straight losses with him on the helm, so it’s a slight relief.
However, Fortuna Düsseldorf still struggles in the bottom part of 2.Bundesliga, far from promotion spots. They are still without a few injured players, which makes things even more difficult.
However, a surprising fact is that Fortuna Düsseldorf achieved all three of their wins this season at away stadiums, while remaining winless at home.
The Betting Verdict
Both sides are leaking goals, but Fortuna Düsseldorf are worse, conceding almost twice per match on average.
Holstein Kiel is unbeaten in three at home, with their last two ending in draws. Still, I don’t feel comfortable backing them, considering that Fortuna Düsseldorf won three of their last four away games.
This is a tricky duel for a winner, but we should see goals in both nets at good odds.

Holstein Kiel 1-2 Fortuna Dusseldorf
