On April 19, 2025, at the Red Bull Arena in Leipzig, a match of the 30th round of the German Bundesliga will take place, featuring RB Leipzig and Holstein Kiel. I suggest betting on goals in this encounter.
RB Leipzig
Leipzig has a clear objective for the end of the season — to finish in the top four to secure a spot in the Champions League. The team missed out on a trophy in the German Cup, losing to Stuttgart in the semifinals. However, after this defeat, the "Bulls" quickly bounced back, securing two successful Bundesliga victories and solidifying their position in the standings.
Currently, Leipzig holds the fourth place, with a two-point lead over fifth-placed Mainz. They are only three points behind third-placed Eintracht. With a tight battle at the top of the table, the season's end promises to be tense, and dropping points against outsiders like Holstein is absolutely unacceptable.
Holstein Kiel
Holstein confirms its status as one of the main underdogs of the season, securing just one victory in the last 13 matches. The team demonstrates extremely unstable defense — after 29 rounds, they've conceded 70 goals, the worst record in the league by a significant margin.
Nevertheless, Holstein shows decent attacking prowess, scoring at a level comparable to mid-table teams. They can challenge even the giants, as evidenced by thrilling matches: a 3-4 away defeat to Bayern and a 4-2 home victory over Borussia Dortmund.
However, their chances of survival are rapidly dwindling. The club has only 18 points, and they trail the safe 15th place by 11 points with 5 rounds remaining. In the current circumstances, this looks essentially like a verdict.
Probable lineups
- RB Leipzig: Gulacsi, Nedelkovic, Bitshiabu, Lukeba, Klostermann, Baku, Vermeeren, Seiwald, Baumgartner, Sesko, Openda
- Holstein Kiel: Dahne, Becker, Zeitz, Komenda, Rosenboom, Knudsen, Remberg, Tolkin, Gigovic, Bernhardsson, Matino
Match facts and H2H
- In the first round, Leipzig confidently defeated Holstein away with a score of 2-0, leaving the opponent no chances.
- Holstein consistently scores away — the team has scored in 11 consecutive away matches.
- In the last three matches involving Leipzig, the "Total over 3.5" bet was successful.
Prediction
Leipzig is the clear favorite in the upcoming match and should confidently claim victory against an outright underdog. However, Holstein has repeatedly proven capable of creating serious problems even for top teams, especially in the attacking phase. The "both teams to score" bet at odds of 1.66 looks attractive.
