Holstein vs Koln: who will play in the Bundesliga?
On May 29, Holstein and Koln will play the second match for a Bundesliga spot in the next season. Will Billy Goats be able to take revenge on away after the disappointing loss in the home fixture? We offer our prediction and betting tips.

Command Analysis

Holstein Kiel

Holstein managed to get an away win over Koln (1:0), which significantly increased their chances for a promotion to Bundesliga. In an away fixture Ole Werner's men played very accurate on defense and converted one of their few goal-scoring chances.
As we remember, Holstein finished third in the second-tier, but team's main achievement in this season is, of course, a win over Bayern in the round of 32 of German Cup.

FC Koeln

Koln created problems for themselves with a loss to Holstein at home (0:1). Now Billy Goats have to win with at least the same score on away. Friedhelm Funkel's men had a terrible form during the last matches of the Bundesliga season.
A loss to Freiburg (1:4) and a draw against Hertha (0:0) left Koln in the relegation playoff zone and only a narrow win over Schalke (1:0) in the last matchday of the season (1:0) saved the team from straight relegation to the 2. Bundesliga.

Tip and bets
A result of the first game has completely changed the chances of both teams. After getting the advantage of an away win, Holstein will probably play defensively at home. Koln has no choice but to go ahead, though their offensive line is not so great right now. In our opinion, we won't see many goals in the second match.
Our prediction - total under 2,5 goals
We are also expecting a new team to appear in the Bundesliga. Holstein proved their worth during this season and hosts should be able to keep their advantage after an away win over Koln.
Our second bet is on Holstein to go through
