Northern duel: Holstein Kiel meets unbeaten Hannover 96!
There will be a thrilling northern duel in the 2nd Bundesliga on August 30, 2025, when Holstein Kiel meets Hannover 96. The game kicks off at 1 p.m. The guests from Lower Saxony are currently undefeated league leaders and want to further extend their impressive series of successes. Coach Christian Titz particularly emphasizes the defensive stability and the rapid integration of the new additions, which is what makes the team strong this season.
Holstein Kiel, on the other hand, after a bumpy start to the season with two defeats against SC Paderborn and Arminia Bielefeld, recently achieved an important 3-1 win against Greuther Fürth. Kiel's coach Marcel Rapp is optimistic and demands points for his team. At the same time, he expresses respect for the opponent and emphasizes that Hannover 96 cannot dominate every one of their opponents.
Strong comeback from Pichler
The game has a special personal touch for Benedikt Pichler. The former Kiels striker now plays for Hannover 96 and is looking forward to his first goal for his new club. Pichler was Holstein Kiel's top scorer last season with seven goals and two assists in the first 15 matchdays. He is convinced that the team can have lasting success, but warns about the unpredictability of football.
The summer was turbulent for the current Holstein Kiel squad as many top performers left the club. Nevertheless, Pichler emphasizes that the new players are hungry and show a lot of potential. The development of young talents, such as Tom Rothe, is particularly encouraged in Kiel. Striker partner Fiete Arp has also developed positively in the last few games and is regularly scoring goals.
