Freiburg beat Holstein Kiel 3-2 on Saturday, before that they were leading 3-0 then surrendered in the 85th and 90th minutes. Marcel Rapp might feel that his club should have played better defensively especially since they did not get a big chance and only faced an xG total of 0.63.
Kiel are five points behind Heidenheim who are in 16th position, which is the Bundesliga’s only relegation playoff spot, and have been beaten in 6 of their last 7 matches. However, the hosts did win Augsburg 5-1 in the match before their loss on Saturday. Holstein have won 2 of their four recent games at Holstein-Stadion, but St Pauli and VfL Bochum have scored less than 6 points at home.

Meanwhile, Dortmund delivered a defensive performance against Leverkusen that was quite alarming, as they surrendered twice in the first 8 minutes and 3 times before the 20th minute. After the match, Sahin said that things would have ended differently if he had a more experienced starting 11.
Borussia’s defensive record is concerning, since they have only maintained three clean sheets in 16 league games and their record of 25 goals given up is the second-worst in the league’s top 8. It should also worry Sahin that his team have scored just 30 league goals so far, and they are on track to score their lowest goals in the top flight since 2014-15.
MatchPlug Prediction For Kiel VS Dortmund
If Dortmund appears in tomorrow’s match with many first-team starters absent due to illness, Kiel could have a chance to increase their chances of a win. But, Borussia still scored twice against Bayer Leverkusen, and their attacking firepower could help them beat Holstein with three points.
Final Prediction: Dortmund Moneyline.
