Kiel is fighting for a home win against Düsseldorf: A crime thriller awaits us!

On November 9th, 2025 it will be time again in the Holstein Stadium: kick-off for the 2nd Bundesliga when Holstein Kiel meets Fortuna Düsseldorf. The game starts at 1:30 p.m. and the two teams are close together in the table. Holstein Kiel is in 11th place with 12 points, while Fortuna Düsseldorf is in 13th place with 11 points. Who can claim the three points?

The home team from Kiel hasn't done particularly well this season so far with a record of 3 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats. Their goal difference of 12:12 is striking, which shows that although they score a lot of goals, they also concede just as many. At home they had one win, two draws and two defeats in five games. Their last appearance didn't end well with a 1-2 defeat against Preußen Münster. But the team has already scored 5 goals in the last 5 games - whether that will be enough against Düsseldorf remains to be seen.

Fortuna Düsseldorf in form check

Fortuna Düsseldorf is also struggling with its form. Their record is 3 wins, 2 draws and 6 defeats, resulting in a goal difference of 10:19. Interestingly, Düsseldorf is stronger away than at home - in their 5 away games they celebrated 3 wins, but no draws, and only 2 defeats. Most recently there was a 1-1 draw against 1. FC Kaiserslautern, but the team should improve quickly in order to leave the relegation zone.

If you look at the form of the two teams in the last five games, it is clear that the ravages of time are bothering both teams. Holstein Kiel has one win, two draws and two defeats, while Fortuna Düsseldorf can only record one win, one draw and three defeats. This phase of poor form could decide whether we win or lose on Sunday.

Direct duels and betting odds

Historically, the direct duels between Holstein Kiel and Fortuna Düsseldorf are quite even. In the last five matches, Holstein Kiel and Fortuna Düsseldorf each celebrated two wins, with a draw being the only outlier. Will Kiel get the next three points or will Düsseldorf hit back and overtake Kiel in the table?

The odds suggest that the bookmakers see Holstein Kiel as having a slight advantage due to the home advantage.

Fans of both teams can look forward to an exciting duel on Sunday. Holstein Kiel will do everything in its power to make the fans happy in their own stadium, while Fortuna Düsseldorf is hungry for an away win and aims to get the league up and running again. We're excited to see how the teams perform! Who will have the upper hand in the end – Holstein or Fortuna?
