Holstein Kiel vs Hoffenheim Prediction & Betting Tips | 18/01/2025 | Football

Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:

Holstein Kiel

Holstein Kiel

Hoffenheim

Hoffenheim

Holstein Kiel will be aiming to build on a historical 4-2 win over Borussia Dortmund when they take on Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga round 18. Kiel are eyeing their third consecutive win at home and they are surely capable of matching Hoffenheim at their Holstein-Stadion. Experienced midfielder Lewis Holtby is banned for the match, while all Schulz, Skrzybski, Erras, Komenda, and Kleine-Bekel remain in the recovery room. The visitors, on the other hand, failed to spoil Bayern Munich’s party at Allianz Arena.

As Hoffenheim have been struggling on the travels of late, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the home team. To make things even worse for the away team, Czech Republic defender Pavel Kaderabek serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards. The two clubs meet for the first time at the venue.

Prediction:
2-1

Highlighted Player (Pavel Kaderabek):

Pavel Kaderabek

Pavel Kaderabek is a Czech Republic defender born on 25 April 1992, who has enjoyed a bright start to his professional career. Coming through the youth ranks at Sparta Prague and gaining some first team experience during a loan spell with Viktoria Zizkov, the right-sided defender was finally able to show what he is capable of during the 2012/2013 season and he didn’t need a lot of time to make the next step in his career.

After scoring impressive 10 goals in 76 league appearances for Sparta Prague, Kaderabek joined Bundesliga side Hoffenheim in the summer of 2015, shortly after he had established himself as a starting right-back in the Czech Republic national team.

The talented footballer helped Repre make it to the Euro 2016 finals by starting 9 qualifying matches, once again proving his killer instinct by scoring two goals. Pavel Kaderabek looks set to become one of leading players of the new generation and a big club move may not be far away either.
