Dramatic duel: Braunschweig welcomes Kiel in the relegation battle!
This Sunday, December 7th, 2025, the teams from Eintracht Braunschweig and Holstein Kiel will meet in the Eintracht Stadium. At 1:30 p.m., the 15th matchday of the 2nd Bundesliga will be about important points in the fight against relegation. While Eintracht Braunschweig is currently in the relegation zone as 16th in the table with 13 points, Holstein Kiel can breathe a sigh of relief with 15 points and 13th place.
The form of the two teams couldn't be more different. Eintracht Braunschweig has only managed one win in its last five games and recently had to gain some breathing room with a 2-0 win against 1. FC Kaiserslautern. However, their home game record is modest: only two wins from seven games speak for themselves. On the other hand, Holstein Kiel will arrive with mixed feelings after a 0-1 defeat against Hertha BSC; the away record includes two wins from seven matches. Their statistics in direct duels also speak for them.
The direct balance sheet
Looking at the lineups, both coaches rely on a 3-4-2-1 system. Eintracht Braunschweig will have Ron-Thorben Hoffmann in goal and a defense line made up of Kevin Ehlers, Patrick Nkoa and Lukas Frenkert. Holstein Kiel brings Jonas Krumrey as goalkeeper and relies on a similar defensive formation. Injury concerns plague both teams: Braunschweig is missing Fabio Di Michele, Florian Flick, Frederik Jäkel, Lino Tempelmann and Sven Köhler, while Kiel is without Alexander Bernhardsson, Andu Yobel Kelati, Carl Johansson and Patrick Erras.
