Holstein Kiel face Dynamo Dresden at Holstein Stadion, Kiel on Sunday, Oct 25 at 1:30 PM in a basement battle that neither side can afford to lose. Both clubs are deep in the relegation picture in the 2. Bundesliga, and defeat here could prove costly come the end of the season.

Holstein Kiel come into this fixture out of form (0W 2L recently). Dynamo Dresden, meanwhile, arrive struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

History strongly favours Holstein Kiel here — they've won 8 of 10 previous meetings against Dynamo Dresden, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Holstein Kiel won 1–2.

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