Holstein Kiel desperately need points on Sunday, Jan 31 at 1:30 PM in the 2. Bundesliga. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

St. Pauli come into this fixture drawing too many games (3D in last 5). Holstein Kiel travel out of form (0W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. St. Pauli won their last outing, while Holstein Kiel suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

History strongly favours St. Pauli here — they've won 5 of 10 previous meetings against Holstein Kiel, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 2–2 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 4.0 per game in recent meetings.

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