THE PREDICTION
It was a happy Christmas for Holstein Kiel, who ended 2020 two points clear at the top of Bundesliga 2 following five wins on the spin. In fact, they have only lost one of their last 14 league games, and that was against promotion rivals Greuther Furth. A solid defence has been the foundation for their success so far in this campaign, with Ole Werner’s men conceding a league-best 11 goals in their 13 matches. Osnabruck won 4-2 here last season but it should be a very different story this time around, and there is no reason Kiel cannot claim another win and clean sheet, especially since the visitors have scored just five times in their last six games.
