Holstein Kiel
Holstein Kiel is on an amazing unbeaten run of five games, winning all of their last three in the 2.Bundesliga. Their last two wins against Kaiserslautern and Hertha Berlin both came with clean sheets.
Another win would guarantee their safety. All their remaining three games are against teams from the bottom half of the table, and they play twice at home, which makes me certain Holstein Kiel will win at least once.
Holstein Kiel was not that reliable at home lately, losing three and drawing twice in their last six, but managed a convincing 3-0 home win against Kaiserslautern in their last home game.
Eintracht Braunschweig
Eintracht Braunschweig is only a point above automatic drop spots, so every point matters. Two wins from their remaining three games are likely needed for survival, which makes them a bit nervous.
However, they showed very good, stable performance last week in the 0-2 away win against Kaiserslautern.
Eintracht Braunschweig’s games usually do not involve many goals, with six of their last seven ending with under 2.5 goals.
The Betting Verdict
Holstein Kiel are 95% safe with three games left of the season, while Eintracht Braunschweig’s survival chances are 50-50.
The visitors must push in this game, and last week’s win against favourites Kaiserslautern likely boosted their self-belief.
It should be a close game, and I would go with Eintracht Braunschweig to remain unbeaten here.
The Pick :
Holstein Kiel 1-1 Eintracht Braunschweig
