Augsburg vs Holstein Kiel Prediction and Betting Tips | May 4th 2025
Augsburg will host Holstein Kiel at WWK ARENA on Sunday in another round of the 2024-25 Bundesliga campaign. The hosts will be keen to return to winning ways as they hope to make a late push for European qualification.
Fuggerstädter suffered only their second loss in 10 games in a 2-0 defeat against Bayer Leverkusen last weekend and are now six points off Conference League qualification with only three games to go. The hosts have struggled in front of goal in the past couple of weeks and will be keen to improve their attacking form this weekend against a much weaker side.
Holstein Kiel’s late goal earned them a much-needed 4-3 victory over Borussia Monchengladbach last weekend, marking only their fifth win of the league season. Goals from Shuto Machino, Alexander Bernhardsson and Armin Gigovic secured the points for Die Störche, who will now be keen to build on that this weekend.
The visitors sit 17th in the league table with 22 points from 21 matches and must avoid defeat on Sunday to retain their chances of pipping Heidenheim to the relegation playoffs.
