In my opinion Holstein Kiel have really good chances to avoid loss in today's match up and get promotion into Bundesliga.

First match between both teams in Koln finished with 1:0 Holstein win. They played really decent game as they defended very well and they used their chance to score. For sure that was big boost of confidence for them and they should go with momentum today.

Holstein should be even harder to break today because in first match they played without their two key central midfielders - Muhling (12 goals and 2 assists in 31 matches) and Meffert (he played in all 34 matches in regular season). Today both of them back to the squad and we will see them on the pitch since first minute. This is great info for the hosts and Koln will have big problems to take control in the middle zone.

Koln had big problems in first match to break Holstein defense and I see the same story today. Holstein is extremely solid at the back, especially at home. They conceded only 19 goals in 17 home matches in current season. On the other hand Koln conceded 111 goals in last 51 away league matches. Holstein was able to stop Bayern Munich at home in Cup (2:2 and Holstein won by penalties). I don't see reason's why they cannot score and stop Koln today.

Koln is much better at home than on away - they won only 14 of last 68 away league matches, it's really low winning %. This year they have been eliminated from the Cup by poor Bundesliga 2 Jahn Regensburg. In that case they should have big problems against Holstein. Hosts lost only 16 of last 68 home league matches. For sure they coming here full of confidence.

Pressure is on Koln shoulders and that will be very hard to handle for them. Holstein don't have nothing to lose and I trust for them. I expecting another high quality performance from hosts and ticket for the Bundesliga 1 and big celebration after.

在我看来，基尔在今天的比赛中有很好的机会避免失败，并晋级到德甲。

两队在科隆的第一场比赛以1:0的比分获胜。他们踢得很好，防守很好，他们利用机会得分。这无疑极大地提升了他们的信心，他们今天应该会有良好的势头。

荷尔斯泰因今天应该更难突破，因为在第一场比赛中，他们失去了两名关键中场球员——穆林(31场比赛12粒进球和2次助攻)和梅菲特(他在常规赛34场比赛中全部出场)。今天他们都回到了队伍中，我们将从第一分钟就看到他们上场。这对主队来说是一个很好的信息，而科隆要想控制中间区域将会遇到很大的问题。

科隆在第一场比赛中遇到了大问题，打破了荷斯坦的防守，今天我看到了同样的故事。荷斯泰因在后方非常稳固，尤其是在家里。在本赛季的17场主场比赛中，他们只丢了19球。另一方面，科隆在过去51场客场比赛中丢了111个球。在杯赛上，荷尔斯泰因在主场击败了拜仁慕尼黑(2:2，荷尔斯泰因以点球取胜)。我不明白为什么他们今天不能得分并阻止科隆。

科隆在主场比在客场好得多——他们在过去的68场客场联赛中只赢了14场，胜率真的很低。今年他们被可怜的德甲雷根斯堡淘汰出了杯赛。在这种情况下，他们应该对荷斯坦有很大的问题。东道主在过去的68场主场比赛中只输掉了16场。他们来这里肯定充满了信心。

压力压在了科隆的肩上，这对他们来说很难处理。荷斯坦没有什么可失去的，我相信他们。我期待东道主的另一场高质量的表演和德甲的门票，以及之后的盛大庆祝。
