Holstein Kiel vs Wolfsburg Prediction

Holstein Kiel Form

Holstein Kiel have seen it all in their last three matches, which added four points to their account. They first shared the points in a 1-1 draw with Fortuna Duesseldorf, before claiming 3 points in a 1-2 win against Hannover 96. Unfortunately for them, this was followed by a 3-2 defeat at the hands of Hoffenheim.

In a season where everything runs absolutely smoothly Wolfsburg might be able to surprise. However, a finish inside the top half of the Bundesliga looks the most realistic scenario.

Wolfsburg Form

Wolfsburg endured a tough spell in their last three matches, from which they have nothing to show. They were beaten 2-0 by Bayern Munich, before Mainz 05 ran out 1-3 winners. A third defeat on the trot followed against Bayern Munich, who came out 2-3 winners. Wolfsburg claimed two wins against one draw and three defeats in their last six away matches in the Bundesliga. The scoreline from these matches reads ten goals conceded and six scored.

In a season where everything runs absolutely smoothly Wolfsburg might be able to surprise. However, a finish inside the top half of the Bundesliga looks the most realistic scenario.
