Holstein Kiel vs SV Darmstadt Predictions

• Kiel have lost just one of their last six league games
• Darmstadt are unbeaten in six league games
• The last four meetings between these two sides have all ended with under 2.5 goals

Kiel to come close but fall at the final hurdle

Holstein Kiel host Darmstadt on Sunday afternoon knowing that they need to take all three points to guarantee their promotion from 2. Bundesliga.

Kiel have lost just one of their last six games, a 3-2 loss to Karlsruher last weekend, and they remain one point ahead of Greuther Furth in the race for promotion. They also have an outside chance of winning the title, knowing a three goal win here and a draw for Bochum would see Kiel promoted as champions.

Darmstadt haven’t had anything to play for in recent weeks but this lack of pressure has brought out the best in the side. They are unbeaten in sixth place and will be looking to end the season on a high by denying Kiel promotion.

This has been a tight fixture in recent times with the last three games between these two all finishing with under 2.5 goals. We think the tense nature of this game could lead to the same thing this weekend and we’re predicting that the 2.5 line will remain untouched. Kiel should find the victory but won’t be able to secure the title and we’re forecasting a 2-0 win for the hosts.
