Command Analysis

Holstein Kiel

Current form
Holstein scored a crushing 5-1 home win over Augsburg on the eve of the break, slightly increasing their chances of saving the season. However, they failed to build on that success. In the previous round, the storks played away against Freiburg and lost 2-3, scoring two goals at the very end thanks to a brace by Phil Harris, who has been a real revelation in the team this season. In general, the open and bold football played by Marcel Rapp charges does not bring positive results. After 16 rounds, Holstein occupies the penultimate 17th place in the standings and is six points behind the saving 15th place.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kleine-Beckel will miss the match due to injury. Erras, Schulz and Skrzybski are in doubt.

Borussia Dortmund

Current form
Borussia had a tough test right after the break – a home match against Bayer. By the eighth minute of that match, Dortmund were losing 0:2 and despite all their efforts, they couldn’t even play for a draw – they lost 2:3. After that failure, Nuri Sahin’s team left the top 6 and is in eighth place in the standings with 25 points. An away match against an outsider is ahead, there is a real chance to take three points. However, it is alarming that the Bumblebees have not been playing their best away matches in the Bundesliga throughout the season – only five points in seven matches.

Holstein is the worst team in the Bundesliga in terms of defense, having already conceded 41 goals. The desire to play bold and open football often leads to failures.

The hosts, regardless of who their opponents are, play in a fairly open manner and are capable of scoring a goal at home, especially given the Bumblebees' problems with their lineup.

Second bet - both teams to score with odds of 1.60
