Wolfsburg vs Kiel Soccer Prediction

In one of the final matches of the season to be played in the German competitions.

To be counted towards the Relegation phase of the Bundesliga, 1st leg, to be played at the Volkswagen Arena in the city of Wolfsburg, they play the Wolfsburg side and the Kiel team in what will be the first official match between the two teams in their history.

The home team comes to this meeting after a poor season once again, following what has been the course of the team for many years now (since fighting with Bayern for the title, was always down, in authentic free fall), with the team now struggling for maintenance in the Bundesliga, something that came to check again in this sporting season, where the team almost did not return to the second tier of German football.

Only a much worse Hamburg team, who confirmed their descent after many years of escaping at the end of the day, was a 4-1 win over Cologne and saved the Bruno Labbadia team.
As for the visiting team, it enters this playoff of access to the Bundesliga after a fantastic season in the German second division, being that also narrowly could not reach the direct ascent to the first division of the Germanic soccer, having even finished as the team with the best offensive record of the event, with a fantastic 71 goals scored, ending the season with a 6-2 defeat to Braunschweig, who confirmed their presence in the playoff that the team will play in this match in the first leg of the match.

This will be a historic moment as the team will be able to reach the Bundesliga for the first time, something they have never achieved in their 117-year history.

Given that Kiel rested a few players in their last match of the respective league, considering that already had the 3rd place safe, but also taking into account the fact that the current coach Markus Anfang leaves the club at the end of the season to go train the Colony (with the sports director and some players also leaving training) this could negatively affect the team for this meeting, in one of the two most important games of this season.

Thus, it is already difficult to predict this meeting, because you can not see how these facts will influence Kiel in this playoff but also because Wolfsburg is not a properly trusted team in recent years (both capable of achieving great things and surprising by the negative).

Wolfsburg vs Kiel Prediction

Thus, although he felt that this match could end up with goals alone, given Kiel’s offensive mentality and ability demonstrated throughout his time, but also remembering the weaknesses of Wolfsburg, I still believe that the fact that it is a decisive match, allowing the team to win in the Bundesliga next season, can lead to both playing more defensively and thus decreasing the odds of scoring goals. I believe I can finish with 1 or 2 goals.
