Greuther Furth take on the visitors Holstein Kiel in the round 1 match of German Bundesliga 2. The match will be played on Saturday, July 16th at Sportpark Ronhof Thomas Sommer (Fürth).
Greuther Furth is back where they are more comfortable. The Shamrocks played in Bundesliga 1 last season for the second time in their history. It turned out, perhaps, better than in the debut year at this level. Since the winter, they even managed to start taking points from opponents more or less regularly. But we can talk about some progress compared to the fall, when we lost to everyone in general. But still, the year ended with 3 victories and 18 points, having not only relegated ahead of schedule, but also finished in last place. At the same time, they broke up with the coach, Stefan Leitl, only in the summer. He was replaced by Mark Schneider, who previously managed Thun and Wasland-Beveren.

Holstein Kiel had a rather weak last season. The "Storks" were good the year before last, 2021. In Bundesliga 2, this ambitious team took 3rd place, but lost in the play-offs. In parallel, it turned out to reach the semi-finals in the German football cup. In contrast, the next draw brought a rollback to a very mediocre 9th place. However, the post of head coach remained with Marcel Rapp, a young professional for whom this is the first full-fledged experience as a head coach. At the same time, one of the leading defenders left, Phil Neumann, who went to Hannover. He was replaced by Marvin Schulz, once a very promising German defense player, who was involved in the German youth team, who had played in the Swiss championship for Lugano for 4 previous seasons. It remains only to understand in practice how combat-ready the current version of Holstein is.
In the 2020/2021 season, when Greuther Furth was rushing to the top division, this team managed to win both matches. First, in October, there were 3-1 on the road, after which they scored 2 unanswered goals at home in February. Greuther Furth is playing at home and will definitely try to start the new championship successfully. We believe that it will work out - we bet on the hosts of the arena.
Prediction for the match: Greuther Furth to win.
