Holstein Kiel are struggling in the top-flight this season, currently positioned in the bottom two of the Bundesliga after 16 matches. They are set to face an underperforming Borussia Dortmund side that is in desperate need of a victory this week. The Holstein Kiel vs Borussia Dortmund match will kick off at 17:30 UK Time.
Holstein currently holds eight points, placing them six points away from automatic safety. In contrast, Dortmund has accumulated 25 points, leaving them five points shy of the top three positions. Holstein’s prospects of evading relegation took a hit with a 3-2 defeat on the road against Freiburg. That was a significant departure from the 5-1 victory they achieved at this venue against Augsburg prior to the winter break.
The fans were eager to witness a repeat of that result, especially after the team had struggled to find the net in three of their four previous home league matches. Dortmund recently faced a setback, suffering a 3-2 loss at home to Bayer Leverkusen in their opening match following the winter break. The visitors might find themselves in 8th place if Bremen manages to avoid defeat on Sunday against Augsburg.
Dortmund experienced their first defeat in six league matches, yet they allowed a goal for the 13th time in their last 14 games. That encompassed six straight matches away from home, where Dortmund has managed only one victory and two draws, alongside four defeats in this league season.
