Borussia Dortmund vs Holstein Kiel Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Bundesliga 2024-25

The visitors dominated the proceedings against BVB previously this season.

Borussia Dortmund are all set to host Holstein Kiel in match week 34 of the 2024-25 Bundesliga season. Signal Iduna Park will witness the final league clash of the campaign between the two teams.

Borussia Dortmund are in fifth place and still have a clear chance to secure a UEFA Champions League spot for the next season. They will have to win their upcoming clash. Dortmund fell prey to Holstein Kiel last time around, but this time they are looking in good touch and might turn the tables upside down. They are coming in after defeating Bayer Leverkusen in their previous Bundesliga fixture.

Holstein Kiel are in the relegation zone and will see themselves being demoted at the end of the season. Even though they have defeated Dortmund once this season, this time it will be a whole different fixture because there is a change in momentum, big time for both sides. They will be away from home as well, which will be another disadvantage for them.
