Freiburg vs Holstein Kiel prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – January 11, 2025
One of the matches of the 16th round of the German Bundesliga will be played on Saturday at the Europa-Park Stadium, where Freiburg will host Holstein Kiel. We suggest betting on goals in this match with good chances of success.
Match Preview
In the last round, Freiburg, under the guidance of Julian Schuster, suffered a crushing defeat against Bayer Leverkusen (1:5), continuing their streak of inconsistent performances. The team has managed only two wins in their last eight Bundesliga matches, with three draws and three losses.
This form has dropped the club to 9th place in the standings, although the gap to the European competition zone remains minimal – just one point. At home, Freiburg performs much more confidently, securing five wins in their last seven home matches in the league.
As for Holstein Kiel, in the 15th round, Marcel Rapp’s team secured a commanding 5:1 victory over Augsburg. For the Bundesliga newcomer, this was only their second win of the season, ending an unpleasant streak of five consecutive losses.
However, Holstein's position in the table remains precarious: the team sits in second-to-last place, trailing the relegation playoff zone by two points. Their defense is particularly concerning – with 38 goals conceded, Holstein has the most vulnerable defense in the current Bundesliga campaign. Their away record is also disappointing, with five losses in their last seven away matches.
