This is the match between 2 promotion candidates but one team is in a slightly better position to go up. While hosts still didn't lose at home, their opponent from the far the North of Germany havent lost any of their 9 away matches so far this season, and have amazing defense on the road with conceding only 5 goals so far! Holsten Kiel is the team that beat Bayern MUNICH in the Cup after penalties, which is more than amazing success for the 2nd league club (January 13) and they are knocking on the doors of Bundesliga 1.

Dusseldorf comes from a very disappointing defeat against Wurzburg Kickers, and Kickers are the team that is almost already relegated, sitting at the very bottom of the table. For this upcoming game, the coach of Dusseldorf Uwe Rosler has to deal with the missing of his 2 important players: The best player of Dusseldorf's defense Andre Hoffmann is suspended and offensive midfielder Shinta Appelkamp is now injured. The offensive impulses from this big talent who is half German half Japanese will be a lot missed in this game for hosts. Due to the situation in the table with the home team currently trailing the top 3 spots by already, 6 points is practically forced to win this encounter which should suit and go into the hands of Holsten Kiel who are expected to find enough free space in the field to establish their fast counter-attacks, offensive transitions, and they have been very dangerous with this style for their opponents so far this season. Hosts will have to attack and try to overcome visitors on standings, and this will be a great fit for Kiel to sit back and wait for deadly counters. The interesting thing is to see that all of Dusseldorfs nine wins this season have been against teams from a lower position in the table. In the autumn of 2020, Holsten Kiel had won at home against today's rivals 2:1. Hosts couldn't win against Kiel in the last three mutual games 3 games against Kiel. I think this trend will continue in this game. The draw is likely, but don't be surprised to see the first loss for Dusseldorf at home in this season, Kiel is a very organized club and they will aim for 3 points after all. Two possible results, Kiel wins 2-1 or draw 1-1.

这是两个晋升球队之间的比赛，但其中一个队处于稍微有利的位置。虽然东道主仍然没有在主场输掉比赛，但他们来自德国北部的对手本赛季到目前为止的9场客场比赛中还没有输掉任何一场，而且他们的客场防守非常出色，目前为止只丢了5个球!霍尔斯滕·基尔是在点球大战中击败拜仁慕尼黑的那支球队，这对1月13日的联赛第二俱乐部来说是一个巨大的成功，他们正在敲开德甲联赛的大门。

杜塞尔多夫在与维尔茨堡踢球者队的比赛中惨败，而踢球者队几乎已经降级，坐在积分榜的最后一名。在即将到来的这场比赛中，杜塞尔多夫的教练乌维·罗斯勒不得不处理他的两名重要球员的缺席:杜塞尔多夫最好的防守球员安德烈·霍夫曼停赛，进攻型中场球员辛塔·阿佩尔坎普受伤。这位拥有一半德国血统一半日本血统的天才的进攻冲动将会在这场比赛中被东道主错过很多。由于表中的情况与主队目前落后的前3位,6分几乎是被迫赢得这种西装,应该遇到的Holsten基尔将找到足够的自由空间的领域建立快速反击,进攻转换,他们一直在与这种风格非常危险的对手本赛季到目前为止。东道主将不得不进攻并试图在积分榜上战胜客队，这将是基尔坐等致命反击的绝佳时机。有趣的是，杜塞尔多夫本赛季取得的9场胜利都是对阵积分榜上排名较低的球队。2020年秋天，霍尔斯滕·基尔(Holsten Kiel)在主场以2:1击败了今天的对手。在过去的三场对抗赛中，东道主都没能战胜基尔。我认为这一趋势将在游戏中继续下去。平局是有可能的，但是不要惊讶于杜塞尔多夫本赛季在主场的第一次失利，基尔是一个非常有组织的俱乐部，他们的目标是3分。

预测比分1:2或1:1。
