Holstein Kiel take on the visitors Hannover in the round 17 match of German Bundesliga 2. The match will be played on Friday, November 11th at Holstein-Stadion (Kiel).
Holstein Kiel can again be considered the middle of the Bundesliga 2. The "Storks" reached its peak in 2021. Then they managed to finish in the regular championship in 3rd place. But the play-offs ended in failure. And then the club fell back to 9th position in the 2021/2022 draw. And now they are hanging out at about the same level, alternating good segments, with a couple of victories, with failures. In mid-October, it was possible to beat Nuremberg and Heidenheim and draw with the leader, Darmstadt. But after that it was 1-2 with Fortuna at home. It seems that it turned out to be rehabilitated by defeating Karlsruhe. But with St. Pauli in Hamburg, they did without goals.

Hannover have long been stuck in this division. The Reds played in the Europa League 10 years ago and made their way to the playoffs of this tournament. Last season, formerly glorious team finished at the bottom part of the Bundesliga 2 table, in 11th place. Perhaps now it will turn out better - it was not for nothing that Stefan Leitl was invited, who raised Greuther Furth to the elite division of Germany. After a weak start (1 point in 3 matches), a strong stretch was taken, with 16 points in 6 matches. But then it was not possible to continue such an impulse, and they began to alternate good and bad matches more often. A couple of defeats were alternated with victories over Arminia and Karlsruhe with a goalless draw in Nuremberg. The leader, Darmstadt, defeated them, after Melem scored the only goal in the 62nd minute. But with Fortuna at home, it turned out to take another solid victory - the visitors from Dusseldorf received 2 unanswered goals.
Clubs alternately gave out successful seasons for themselves in head-to-head meetings. In the season before last, Holstein (Kiel) took the maximum points. But in 2019/2020 and 2021/2022 all 4 fights were won by Hannover. Holstein will be the favourite, especially in his native Kiel. But Hannover is also determined to compete for points even on the road. So it begs the bet that everything will end "both to score".
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
