Our prediction for the match Wolfsburg vs Holstein Kiel
“The Wolves” were again not remembered for anything positive last season. As a result, Kovač had been fired by the summer. At the same time, his successor, Hasenhüttl, was given the opportunity to get used to “combat conditions” – it was already possible to finish in a modest 12th place under his leadership. “The Storks”, who were only a middling team in the 2. Bundesliga in 2023, finishing in 8th position, rose to 2nd place last spring (that was enough to reach the elite division of the country).
The newcomer to the Bundesliga is expectedly fighting for survival. The team has recently managed to beat Borussia Dortmund, but still there are few victories, which means few points, and it can’t break away from the relegation zone. And the club lost to Hoffenheim at the home arena in the previous round – 1-3. “The Wolves” started off rather tensely – there were only 2 wins in the first 9 rounds. Still, the team continued to fight for the cup. As for the Bundesliga, November and December brought 4 wins in a row. And the failures in the battles against Freiburg and Borussia Dortmund were followed by a success in the struggles with Hoffenheim and Mönchengladbach – that allowed rising to the European competition zone. The club even tried to give Bayern a fight, but lost with a 2-3 result.
The hosts play spectacularly. They score more than 2.2 goals, but, at the same time, they concede a lot – more than 1.7 goals per game. The guests are doing the opposite: scoring just under one and a half goals, they concede more than two and a half in return.
