Holstein Kiel desperately need points on Sunday, Dec 13 at 1:30 PM in the 2. Bundesliga. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Holstein Kiel come into this fixture out of form (0W 2L recently). Hannover 96, meanwhile, arrive struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Despite playing at home, Holstein Kiel face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Hannover 96 have won 6 of 10 encounters, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Holstein Kiel won 1–3. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.6 per game in recent meetings.

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