Holstein Kiel vs Freiburg Preview and Team News

Holstein Kiel Team News

With two matches remaining in the Bundesliga, Holstein Kiel are in with a chance of securing survival for next season. They’re currently within the relegation zone, a point behind Heidenheim in 16th, and three above bottom-placed VfL Bochum. 

Holstein Kiel have seen a revival of their form in their previous three games, during which they are unbeaten, picking up a draw and two wins. They host Freiburg on Saturday, who are looking to remain inside the top four and secure a place in next term’s Champions League.

The team have to deal with injuries to five of their players ahead of Freiburg. Sidelined players include Patrick Erras, Ivan Nekic, Andu Kelati, Marco Komenda, and Colin Kleine-Bekel. Additionally, Nicolai Remberg will miss out on the match because of his suspension.

Holstein Kiel predicted lineup vs Freiburg: (3-4-1-2): Dähne; Zec, Johansson, Becker; Tolkin, Gigović, Knudsen, Rosenboom; Skrzybski; Machino, Bernhardsson.

Freiburg Team News

Freiburg will want to finish strong to seal a spot in the top four of the Bundesliga and book a place in next season’s Champions League. They’re unbeaten in their last four games, having won three and drawn one. In their previous five, they have 1 defeat, 1 tie, and 3 victories.

Their good form means they’re 4th on the table with 52 points. One above 5th-placed Borussia Dortmund and two ahead of 6th-placed RB Leipzig. The tight race for the top four is likely to go to the wire, which means Freiburg are under pressure to win this weekend.

The squad have three injuries to deal with ahead of Saturday’s trip to Kiel. Daniel-Kofi Kyereh is out with knee surgery, Bruno Ogbus is sidelined with an Achilles tendon rupture, and Lucas Höler has a muscular problem.

Freiburg have kept a single clean sheet in their last 7 outings in the Bundesliga. Their target will be to regain some solidity and compactness in their last 2 matches, starting with Holstein Kiel.

Holstein Kiel vs Freiburg Prediction 

• Pick: Freiburg to win
• Odds: 2.09 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Holstein Kiel 1-2 Freiburg

Saturday’s will be a high-stakes match as the relegation-fighting Holstein Kiel host Champions League-chasing Freiburg. 

The visitors are high-flying in form this season, putting themselves in the driving seat to seal a top-four berth. Holstein Kiel, on the other hand, are plugging away at a challenging term and look to end it strongly to bolster their chances of Bundesliga survival.

While the two clubs are in opposite positions on the table, they’re evenly matched in offensive output. Holstein Kiel have scored 48 times, more than Freiburg’s 46. However, the fault lies in their defensive records. Where the guests have conceded 49, the hosts have let in a staggering 75 goals – the highest in the league by a distance.

Given these records, I back a narrow win for Freiburg as they bolster their top-four chances.

Holstein Kiel vs Freiburg Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Freiburg To Score Its Goal 1 Up To 15 Minutes – Yes
• Odds: 3.8 (22Bet)

Freiburg will look to tone down the atmosphere inside the Holstein-Stadion by making a fast start and keeping the home squad in their box. The focus will be on dictating the tempo of the game, keeping possession, and pressing aggressively to minimise danger in transitions. 

A fast start and the hosts’ poor defensive record, back Freiburg to get the earliest goal within the first quarter hour.
