Bochum
Holstein Kiel
The weekend will be habitually busy in soccer terms, a lot of soccer awaits us and within the Bundesliga. Dailysports experts have prepared their prediction for the match Bochum - Holstein Kiel.
Bochum
In the transition matches Bochum miraculously retained a place in the Bundesliga, managing to get back after a home defeat with a score of 0:3. The start of this championship does not look optimistic, as the club lost all three meetings.
In the last round managed to open the account away against Freiburg, but the opponent exerted strong pressure, so it was impossible to resist - 1:2. In addition to failures in the Bundesliga, there was also a departure from the national cup, lost away not the most dangerous Regensburg with a score of - 0:1. The situation is now difficult, Bochum is one of the three teams that has not yet scored points, so we have to think about survival.
Holstein Kiel
It is also hard for the newcomer to the Bundesliga, who can not yet get a grip on the points. Holstein Kiel is not shy to attack and play open soccer, but so far it does not bring the desired results. In the last round the team crashed out on their field Bayern with a score of 1:6.
Of course, the main task of the club for the season, to keep a place in the elite, we can not count on more. Holstein Kiel won the only match of the season in the German Cup, when they barely defeated Aachen from the third division with a score of 3:2.

Prediction
In the battle of outsiders, Bochum is a slight favorite, this is due to the experience of playing in the elite, as well as the factor of their arena. We should expect an interesting match on the counter-course, I think the teams will show effective soccer, a bet on a total of more than 2.5 goals looks promising.
