Borussia Dortmund have a last throw of the dice as far as Champions League football is concerned. Placed fifth, their fate isn’t even in their hands as they prepare to host relegated Holstein Kiel. Let’s have a look at the prediction for this match.
Borussia Dortmund are on a fine run at these closing stages of the season. They sit just a point outside the top four and will keenly watch the Eintracht Frankfurt v Freiburg game.
If they can match or better Frankfurt’s result this weekend, then Champions League football will be assured. Coming off a run of five straight wins in all competitions, Dortmund will be favorites to beat Holstein Kiel.
Dortmund came from behind to beat Bayer Leverkusen 4-2 last week, and Holstein Kiel will hope the same doesn’t befall them. If it does, it won’t change much anyway, as the visitors have already been relegated.
A 2-1 loss at home to Freiburg last time out confirmed they will be playing in the Bundesliga 2 at least for one more season. That defeat came off the back of three unbeaten outings, and Holstein Kiel will want to sign out on a high.
They have a good scoring run, a stat that should worry Dortmund. In their last 10 Bundesliga matches, Holstein Kiel failed to score just once.

Our Borussia Dortmund vs Holstein Kiel Prediction
Borussia Dortmund are paying the price for a slow start to the season. The hosts have picked up form well, but that comes really late in the day, as their fate is no longer in their hands. There is still reason to believe they’ll finish in the top four, so back Dortmund to give it all for a win here.
The problem is that they rarely keep clean sheets, and this will excite Holstein Kiel, who have accepted their fate. Our prediction for Borussia Dortmund v Holstein Kiel is for Dortmund to win and both teams to score.
