Holstein Kiel have had a rough stretch lately, with no wins in their last five matches - mostly draws and a couple of narrow losses. 1. FC Magdeburg are struggling even more, having lost four of their last five, including some heavy defeats. So neither team is in good form right now, and both look short on confidence.

When these two have met recently, the games have often been lively, with several meetings producing plenty of goals - including a wild draw and a couple of high-scoring away wins. Given that Kiel are at home and Magdeburg are in worse shape, this looks like a close game that could go either way, but Kiel have a slight edge and are the more likely winners.
