Command Analysis

Holstein Kiel

Current form
After a short winter break, Holstein played five Bundesliga matches, in which they scored only four points. The result is not the most outstanding, but we managed to score 12 goals at once during these meetings. This is an impressive indicator for one of the outsiders of the tournament. In the last round, the Storks played with Bayern, lost 0-4, but managed to score three goals (3:4). It is obvious that Marcel Rapp's team is now betting on the attack, although the defense is not reliable – 52 goals conceded since the beginning of the season, absolutely the worst figure among all Bundesliga participants. In the standings, Holstein is on the 17th line in the relegation zone, lagging two points behind Heidenheim, which is in a higher position.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kleine-Beckel, Johansson, Erras, Schultz and Bernhardsson will not play due to injuries. The entry of Dene and Knudsen into the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- Holstein have scored at least four goals in their last five matches.
- Both opponents scored goals in seven previous Holstein matches
Approximate line–up: Weiner – Becker, Komenda, Zets - Porat, Remberg, Holtby, Gigovich, Tolkien – Skzybski, Harres.

Bochum

Current form
In January, Bochum gave its fans hope of salvation by playing two good matches in a row against St. Pauli (1-0) and Leipzig (3-3). However, it was not possible to build on the successes. In the last two rounds, defeats against Borussia Monchengladbach (0:3) and Freiburg (0:1) followed. With 10 points after 20 rounds, Dieter Hecking's team closes the standings, lagging behind the leading Holstein by two points. A victory today will allow the guests to leave the last line. It won't be easy to succeed, as Bochum has the weakest offensive line in the league with only 17 goals scored.

8.90Tip and bets
The most important game from the point of view of the struggle for survival, the opponents will definitely have no problems with motivation. Holstein have the home field factor and a solid attack on their side. At the same time, the owners are not reliable in defense. Bochum hardly creates chances in attack, there are problems with implementation, and the team regularly fails on the road. We think the hosts have a better chance of a positive outcome today.
Our forecast is that Holstein will win with an Asian handicap (0) for a coefficient of 1.67
