The 2. Bundesliga is back, and this fixture is a game between two teams yet to win in the league. Eintracht Braunschweig and Holstein Kiel each have 4 points from 6 matches, so both need the three points from this game just as much as the other. Eintracht Braunschweig have just lost 0-4 in a friendly, and in the league they have lost back-to-back matches. The defence is clearly a problem when you look at the 2-2 draw they managed before their dip in form. Holstein Kiel, meanwhile, have just won 3-1 in a friendly, and in the league they are unbeaten in 2 straight, drawing 2-2 and 1-1 respectively. The visitors also dominate possession more across the last 10 matches overall (56.2% against 45.9%) and clearly have a defence that concedes fewer goals. This game is likely to play out with Holstein Kiel holding the ball and gradually building rhythm, while Eintracht Braunschweig have to watch their own defence, which has already conceded 13 goals in the league. If the hosts keep conceding easily as before, the game is likely to tilt toward the visitors, who are in the better moment.
