Münster vs. Kiel: Who will decide the duel in the relegation battle?

On Friday, October 31, 2025, the 11th matchday in the 2nd Bundesliga starts with an exciting encounter between Preußen Münster and Holstein Kiel. The betting providers see the guests from Kiel as favorites for this game, which is understandable given the current table situation. Kiel is in 10th place with 12 points, while Münster is in 11th place with just one point less. A win for Münster could lift them straight above Kiel, which could fuel the spirits of both teams.

The two teams last played a duel in the 3rd league in 2017, and since then there have only been draws in three direct meetings. On paper, the chances are good for both teams, but the role of favorites is clearly visible. Kiel played against Wolfsburg in the DFB Cup on Tuesday, which can certainly be seen as a disadvantage. Münster, on the other hand, can look back on a longer regeneration period.

Form and statistics

Kiel has not won in the last four games, but has drawn three times. However, their away record is not bad: out of five games they won two and drew another. On the other hand, Münster has already conceded 19 goals, while Kiel has only conceded 10 so far - a clear indicator that Kiel's defense is more stable.

  • Kiel: 2 Siege, 1 Unentschieden aus 5 Auswärtsspielen.
  • Münster: 19 Gegentore in der Saison.

Both teams have yet to finish without conceding a goal this season, which increases expectations for an exciting and goal-rich duel. It is noteworthy that Kiel allowed the fewest big chances in the league. Historically, the two teams have nine wins each in 24 games, which makes predictions even more complicated.

Lineups and tactics

The expected lineups suggest different approaches: Münster is expected to play in a 4-1-2-1-2 system, while Kiel wants to play in a 3-4-1-2. It is worth noting that Kiel scored in eight out of ten games, while Münster conceded at least one goal in every game. Münster can particularly count on Etienne Amenyido, who has scored three goals so far, to enliven the attack.

This duel will be a real treat for all football fans, promising not only statistically but also emotionally. What happens on the pitch could be crucial to how the table develops in the coming weeks.

An interesting footnote from the last few days are the impressive performances by the band Memphis Lightning. Their energy and excellent shows have been well received by fans. Many recommend experiencing them live, which shows that you can also experience a lot culturally outside of football. The region attracts attention with this mix of sport and culture. Maybe one of the two teams will be able to generate as much excitement as the Memphis Lightning does in their shows.
