Holstein Kiel under pressure: Must score against Schalke

Holstein Kiel is under pressure before the home game against Schalke 04. After two weak performances against the last-placed Fürth and the northern rival Hannover, the team is in danger of falling to the relegation spot in the 2. Bundesliga.

What happened?

Coach Marcel Rapp said at his press conference: „We have something to make up for from the last two games“. The team knows how the situation is and does not want to be influenced by horror scenarios.

Why is this important for Holstein Kiel?

Two long-time Holstein professionals, Timo Becker and Finn Porath, switched to the currently also struggling promotion candidate Schalke before this season. Porath warns his new colleagues about his former club: „We know that teams are always very motivated against Schalke“.

What comes next?

The home game against Schalke 04 takes place on Sunday at 13.30. Holstein Kiel wants to use its chance and score to avoid falling to the relegation spot.
