THE PREDICTION
Holstein Kiel can cut the gap on leaders Bochum to just two points with a win in this crucial encounter in the promotion race. Ole Werner’s men have only lost once on their travels this season but the hosts have won seven of their last nine league games at the Ruhrstadion, scoring 22 goals in the process. Kiel have been steady in front of goal, too, finding the net in all but one of their league matches this term - and that was on the second weekend of the campaign. They also boast the best defensive record in the division but Werner is without two of his first-choice back four for this one, so Both Teams To Score looks a good bet in a game where a lot is at stake.
