MATCH PREVIEW

MAIN PREDICTION: HOME WIN

Dresden’s results have improved of late, with the team winning one, drawing two and losing one of their previous four. After an excellent 1-1 draw with second-placed Nurnberg two weeks ago, Dresden earned another important point at even-matched Braunschweig last Sunday as they held them to another 1-1 result. Dynamo still have work to do in the race against the drop, but they now sit three points above the drop zone.

Third-placed Holstein Kiel remain four points behind Nurnberg in the race for the automatic promotion places. However, their scoreless draw against second-from-bottom Darmstadt last time out ensured that Kiel have once again wasted a good opportunity to bridge the gap to the teams above them. They will be conscious of Ingolstadt’s recent rise in the table as they are only holding a five-point lead over them.

Dresden have looked a different team at DDV-Arena over the past couple of months, having lost only once, and they should have enough quality to see off Kiel here. My money is on a Dresden victory. 

SECOND PREDICTION: ODD/EVEN – ODD 

Over 83% of the last six league meetings at Dresden between these teams have ended with odd goals. Back an odd scoreline in this match.

HEAD TO HEAD
Holstein Kiel’s 3-0 win on their own turf earlier in the season was the first fixture between these two sides in the 2. Bundesliga.
