Holsten Kiel take on the visitors Kaiserslautern in the round 2 match of German Bundesliga 2. The match will be played on Saturday, July 23th at Holstein-Stadion (Kiel).
Holstein Kiel will try to return to the level of 2021. The "Storks" have a victory in the championship of Germany. And a couple of times they finished the fight only in the final of this tournament. But these are classic "traditions of antiquity," the first third of the last century. In fact, the current version of the project is a team that only in 2013 still played at the level of the Oberliga, and returned to the Bundesliga 2 only 5 seasons ago. Of course, the draw before last stands apart, the best and the most bitter at the same time. Well, to fly out in the semi-finals of the cup - this was already a record. But after all, having taken 3rd place in the final standings and going to the playoffs, the club from Kiel lost to Cologne there. Pretty expected after this, the team rolled back in one fell swoop to 9th place in the last draw. But the new start is not bad: 2-2 on the field of Greuther, who has taken off from the Bundesliga last season.

Kaiserslautern are finally back in the 2nd Bundesliga. The "Red Devils" gave their last serious triumph in 1998 - the same breakthrough under the leadership of Reehhagel, when the team, which had just returned to the elite division of Germany, took the "Silver Salad Bowl". All this, however, did not save from the fact that all 4 previous seasons in a row, from 2018 to 2022, the popular project was held at the level of the 3rd division of the country. And they even took 10th place there, then, in 2021, and even 14th place. Then there was an incredible rush to 3rd place, but they might not have given anything if the new coach, Dirk Schuster, who came in May, could not beat Dynamo Dresden in the playoffs (0-0 at home, 2-0 away). Moreover, with him the newcomer was able to win, returning at a higher level, and against Hannover. It seemed that the “96s”, equalizing the score in the 80th minute, snatched a draw. But at 90+2, Kraus scored the final 2-1.
The clubs only faced each other in the Bundesliga 2 in 2017/2018. Then they were marked by productive home victories. Kaiserslautern, with its popularity, is only a newcomer to the division. We bet that Holstein will win in Kiel, but we will insure ourselves with a "0" handicap.
Prediction for the match: Holsten Kiel to win.
