Holstein Kiel
In their last outing, Ole Werner's team secured a 2-1 victory away against Darmstadt. This win extended their unbeaten run in the Bundesliga to four matches (2 wins, 2 draws). Currently, Holstein Kiel is in a strong position to secure a spot in the promotion playoffs, sitting just a point behind the second-placed team.

Freiburg
Christian Streich's side suffered a 0-3 defeat at home to Bayern Munich in the last round. This loss ended their three-match unbeaten streak in the Bundesliga. Freiburg is currently in mid-table, with little to play for in terms of European qualification or relegation threats.
- The team has not won in their last 4 away matches in the Bundesliga (2 draws, 2 losses).
- Freiburg has conceded at least two goals in 3 of their last 5 away games in this tournament.

Holstein Kiel vs. Freiburg: Match Prediction
Holstein Kiel has shown strong form at home, particularly in their attacking play, and will be eager to continue their push for promotion. Meanwhile, Freiburg has struggled on the road recently and may find it difficult to contain Kiel's offensive threats.
Considering these factors, I expect Holstein Kiel to capitalize on their home advantage. My prediction: Holstein Kiel to win
