Holstein Kiel vs RB Leipzig Prediction & Betting Tips (7 December)

After being able to qualify for the Bundesliga for the first time in its history last year, Holstein Kiel simply cannot rise to the level of the elite's demands. Because after 12 days, this team has only garnered 5 points and it only occupies 17th place in the ranking with an already considerable delay of 6 points on the first non-relegation team. Below most of their opponents, the Storks have lost 5 of their last 6 matches. Victorious for the first time this season against Heidenheim 1-0 at the beginning of November, the promoted team quickly fell back, losing to Werder Bremen 2-1, Mainz 0-3 and finally Sankt Pauli 3-1 last weekend. Opposite, the situation is starting to become worrying on the side of RB Leipzig.

Very disappointing in the Champions League where they did not take a single point after 5 days, this team also finds itself in difficulty in the championship now. Indeed, Marco Rose's players have been defeated 3 times in the last 4 days played against Dortmund 2-1, Gladbach 0-0, Hoffenheim 4-3 and finally Wolfsburg last week 1-5. Following this very bad series, the Red Bulls fell to 4th place in the ranking. This week, RasenBall Sport will have the opportunity to relaunch itself by challenging Eintracht Frankfurt in the German Cup.

In addition to being in difficulty on a sporting level, Holstein Kiel must still cope without the long-term injured Bekel, the young Kelati, and the Swedish striker Bernhardsson (1 goal in 3 matches) who must still withdraw this weekend -end. On the other hand, up front, we should find the Japanese striker Machino who has scored 4 times in the Bundesliga. Last week, it was the young striker Harres (2 goals) who was able to save the honor in added time by reducing the score. The infirmary is also well stocked on the RB Leipzig side.

We find there the important left side Raum, the starting midfielder Schlager, the essential playmaker Xavi Simons, the Danish striker Poulsen, the defender Bitshiabu, the rather fragile midfielder Elmas, the frame defender Klostermann and replacement midfielder Ouedraogo. All these little people were joined last week by the French defender Lukeba who is not expected before the end of the year. On the other hand, offensively, the Belgian striker Openda (5 goals and 3 assists in the Bundesliga, 2 assists in C1) and the Slovenian international Sesko (3 goals and 2 assists in the Bundesliga, 3 goals in C1) are expected to perform, they who have not been able to be decisive for a while now.
