THE PREDICTION

Only a point currently separates these two sides in the table with both looking nervously over the shoulders at the bottom three. Holstein Kiel overtook Hansa Rostock in the table last weekend after beating Paderborn, whilst Hansa fell to defeat at home to Schalke 04. However, the visitors can gain revenge and move back above Holstein Kiel with three points here. Aware of this, the hosts are expected to make themselves difficult to break down and not take any unnecessary risks going forward. This is likely to lead to a lifeless contest with Hansa themselves not wanting to throw extra bodies forward that could risk them being hit on the counter attack, knowing that a loss here could see them fall into the bottom three. Therefore, under 2.5 goals scored is to be favoured in what should prove a low scoring affair.
