Holstein Kiel vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction and Betting Tips | January 14th 2025

Holstein Kiel and Borussia Dortmund get the ball rolling in round 17 of German Bundesliga when they lock horns at the Holstein-Stadion on Tuesday. Both sides head into the game off the back of suffering defeats at the weekend and will be looking to bounce back here.

Holstein Kiel were sent crashing back to earth in Bundesliga as they suffered a 3-2 loss against Freiburg at the Europa Park Stadion last Saturday.

Before that, Marcel Rapp’s men snapped their five-game winless run on December 21 courtesy of a 5-1 victory over Augsburg, before securing a 2-1 friendly win over Union Berlin on January 5.

Holstein Kiel have picked up just eight points from their 16 Bundesliga games to sit second from bottom in the table, two points above rock-bottom Bochum.

Like the home side, Borussia Dortmund were denied a dream start to the new year as they suffered a 3-2 defeat against Bayer Leverkusen at the Signal Iduna Park last Friday.

This came after their 3-1 victory over Wolfsburg at the Volkswagen Arena on December 22, a result which saw their four-game winless run across all competitions come to an end.

With 25 points from 16 matches, Borussia Dortmund are currently eighth in the Bundesliga standings, level on points with ninth-placed Werder Bremen.
