Holstein Kiel desperately need points on Sunday, May 9 at 1:30 PM in the 2. Bundesliga. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Hannover 96 come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). Holstein Kiel travel out of form (0W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

History strongly favours Hannover 96 here — they've won 6 of 10 previous meetings against Holstein Kiel, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Hannover 96 won 3–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.6 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Hannover 96 a slight edge, but Holstein Kiel are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
