Holstein Kiel vs RB Leipzig Prediction: Over 2.5 goals expected and RB Leipzig to win

Last weekend, RB Leipzig suffered a home loss to Wolfsburg by a score of 1-5, which could b𓄧e considered the worst performance of the season. In front of the home fans, Die Rotten Bullen was humiliatingly outplayed from the very first minute of the match until the very last minute of the match. They let up three goals in the first half. It is possible tha🌳t Marco Rose's job will be in jeopardy if RB Leipzig is unable to turn their fortunes around this next weekend.

On Saturday afternoon, during gameweek 13, they travel t✃o Holstein-Stadion to compete against Kiel, who have recently been promoted. In the first twelve games of the season, they were defeated nine times, and they are now in the penultimate position in the Bu꧅ndesliga table.

Last🔯 Friday, Holstein Kiel was defeated by St. Pauli on 𒀰the road by a score of 1-3. The team gave their adversaries an excessive number of opportunities to score on the occasion.

Holstein Kiel

Holstein Kiel has had a fairly poor start to the campaign. Last week's 3-1 loss to fellow newly promoted side St. Pauli reinstates the diffe🌱rence in quality between the two former 2. Liga side. However, there have been some bright sparks in the side including Shuto Machino who has n🌸etted four goals in the Bundesliga this season.

Also, adding to this sense of positivity, Kiel can take some hope from their 2-2 draw against Bayer Leverkusen 🐠in spite of this being back on matchday six🌄. Interestingly enough, the last time Holstein Kiel did face RB Leipzig was in 2014 when both sides were in the 3. Liga.

That time out, Kiel lost 2-0 at the Holstein-Stadium. Ahead of the game against Leipzig, Holstei💦n coach Marcel Rapp said: “We need to get basics like running, battling and passion onto the pitch along with output.”

RB Leipzig

With a 3-0 🉐victory over Eintracht Frankfurt in the middle of the week, Leipzig, coached by Marco Rose, received their first victory since October. For the DFB-Pokal, Loïs Openda's performance, which included two goals and a 🐻man-of-the-match performance, enabled them to advance to the quarter-finals.

In contrast, the situation has been rather different in the league, as th🌞ey have been defeated in each of their four previous matches and were humiliated by Wolfsburg in their 5-1 loss at the Red Bull Arena from the previous weekend. Although they have been having a string of dismal results, the team led by Marco Rose has managed to maintain their position in the top four. In addition to this, they are only five points behind Frankfurt, who is currently in second place.

Expert Betting Tips

RB Leipzig ha꧋s not been victorious in any of their last six matches across all competitions, and they have lost as many as five of those matches. As a direct result of this, they dropped down to the fourth position in the Bundesliga standings. The encounter against Holstein Kiel, on the other hand, provides them with a fantastic opportunity to dramatically alter their fortunes.

With 31 goals conceded in the first 12 games of the season, the home te🥃am has the second-worst defensive record in the division. In their most recent two league losses, they have suffered setbacks at the hands of teams such as Mainz and St. Pauli, both of which scored three goals against them.

I expect Leipzig to bounce back from the humiliating 1-5 loss and win this game. Also, given how terrible Kiel's defensive p𓆉erformance has 🍌been thus far this season, betting over 2.5 goals is very ideal.
