Hannover vs Holstein Kiel Match Preview

Hannover couldn't get a positive result in the previous round against Arminia Billefldt, in a game that was pretty close. The only goal of the game came in the dying minutes scored by the hosts, with the final 1-0 leaving a bitter taste in Hannover.

After this outcome, Hannover have totaled just one win in the last five rounds in 2.Bundesliga, while they dropped a few ranks to the 15th place of the standings, having 26 points.

Central defender Felipe remains unavailable due to injury, as well as midfielder Haraguchi for the home team.

Holstein Kiel faced Heidenheim in the previous round, being the favorites on paper, however, they failed to take anything of this match. This defeat ended the three-match winning streak for Holstein Kiel, who dropped to 8th place with a total of 33 points after 24 rounds played. 

With a win tonight they could climb up to 3 places higher in the standings, reaching the 5th position, 5 point less than playoff-placed Hamburg

Goalkeeper Reimann remains unavailable, as well as midfielder Meffert and striker Serra for the guests.

I expect a pretty close game tonight, between two sides that both lost their matches in the previous round. One more defeat could place Hannover into a lot of troubles, but I cannot trust a team that have the tragic 1-7-3 home record.

On the other side, Holstein Kiel's away performances are really good with a 6-2-4 total record. I believe that the value here is in the away team to win.
