Holstein Kiel vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction & Betting Tips (29 September)

Last season, Holstein Kiel achieved one of the greatest feats in its history by taking 2nd place in the 2.Bundesliga to validate, for the first time, its rise to the elite. Unfortunately, the first steps of those promoted to the highest level are particularly complicated since they only took one point during the first 4 days. Dominated in their first 3 matches played against Hoffenheim 3-2, Wolfsburg 0-2 and Bayern Munich 1-6, the Storks finally stopped the bleeding last week by bringing down a draw in their trip to Bochum. 2-2. Despite this, they remain last in the ranking.

For their part, Eintracht Frankfurt is a team much more suited to the Bundesliga where its ambitions are still quite significant. 6th in the last financial year, the Capricious Diva will even play in the Europa League this season, which she begins this week by hosting Viktoria Plzen. In the championship, Hugo Ekitike's partners were caught cold by losing to Dortmund 2-0 on the first day. But the Eagles ended up taking flight by then winning against Hoffenheim 3-1, Wolfsburg 1-2 and Borussia Mönchengladbach 2-0. With 9 points on the clock, Eintracht Frankfurt is at the foot of the podium.

On the Kiel side, the long-term injured Bekel will obviously not be able to hold his place for this poster. Hit in the head, midfielder Erras should also withdraw this weekend. On the other hand, striker Skrzybiski, the team's top scorer last year, is available, having made his return last week. Offensively, Japanese striker Machino scored his second goal of the season against Bochum last weekend. He is thus ahead of the rookie Gigovic, the Austrian Pichler and the Swede Bernhardsson, all authors of a single goal this season, in the ranking of scorers of this formation.

The young midfielder Oscar Hojlund, the Hungarian hope Lisztes (8 goals with Ferencvaros last year), and midfielders Loune and Wenig, both long-term injured, remain stuck in the infirmary and will forfeit this Sunday. On the other hand, the former Parisian, Hugo Ekitike (1 goal, 2 assists in the Bundesliga) will be operational. This will also be the case of the German world champion Götze and the Egyptian striker Marmoush (3 goals, 1 assist in BL this season) who made an excellent start to the season with a new goal scored last week.
