Holstein Kiel desperately need points on Sunday, May 23 at 3:30 PM in the 2. Bundesliga. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

VfL Bochum come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 2L). Holstein Kiel travel out of form (0W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

In 10 previous meetings, VfL Bochum lead 2–4 with 4 draws. Their last encounter ended in Holstein Kiel won 3–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.6 per game in recent meetings.

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