Holstein Kiel hosts the champion Bayer Leverkusen at the Holstein-Stadion in a fixture from the 23rd round of the Bundesliga. Please stay with us and our Accurate football predictions today. Here we go!
Holstein Kiel are in a huge danger of losing their place in the Bundesliga. They are currently at the bottom of the standings being 18th with 13 points won. This team have won just three of its matches in the league so far – that’s simply not enough to survive.
In their last match Holstein Kiel lost their 15th match for the season – against Eintracht Frankfurt. Marcel Rapp’s team scored thanks to Finn Porath, but at this moment Eintracht were already three goals ahead. It was another unsuccessful match for Holstein Kiel.
Bayer Leverkusen are still 8 points behind the leader Bayern Munich. Last week Die Werkself had the chance to reduce the gap, but they were unable to beat the Bavarians at home – the match ended with a 0-0 draw.
Leverkusen’s head coach Xabi Alonso took some interesting decisions against Bayern. He left on the bench both Patrik Schick and Victor Boniface, opting for Nathan Tella in the attack. Now the Basque manager could change his idea and bring back Schick or Boniface in the starting eleven. He will need the firepower they can bring in the attacking phase.
Against Bayern Munich, Alonso chose a more traditional 4-4-2 formation, but it didn’t work as planned. Now he could opt for his favorite 3-4-3 again – a formation that brought him a lot of success in Germany.
That’s the Accurate football predictions today for the Bundesliga clash between Holstein Kiel and Bayer Leverkusen. The champions are hungry for the win here, especially after the draw against Bayern Munich. At the same time the hosts are desperate for points as they are in a very difficult situation.
