St. Pauli vs Holstein Kiel Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Both teams find themselves in the relegation battle after 11 games.

This weekend’s Bundesliga clash takes us to Hamburg to witness a bottom-of-the-table clash as St. Pauli gear up to welcome Holstein Kiel in their 12th Bundesliga fixture of the season. The hosts have found it really tough this season and are too close to relegation. They have managed just one win in their last three games and come into this fixture on the back of two back-to-back defeats.

Holstein Kiel on the other hand are also one of the favourites to get relegated this season. With just one win, two draws and eight defeats, they are placed 17th on the table (out of 18 teams). They will be keen to put up a good show and add some points to their tally before it gets too late. The Storks have lost four of their last five games and will aim to pull off a surprise and get something out of this away clash.

His physicality coupled with his game awareness and positioning makes him one of the most important assets for his side.

Shuto Machino (Holstein Kiel)

Shuto Machino has established himself as one of the regular starters under Marcel Rapp. The young forward is well known for his pace, agility and technical acumen. His goal-scoring instincts, combined with his creative ability, have proven useful for his team on several occasions.
