Each team’s starting lineup from their last match in this tournament is listed.

Holstein Kiel

In Matchday 14, Marcel Rapp's side suffered a heavy 1-4 defeat against Borussia Monchengladbach. This result extended their losing streak in the league to five matches. Holstein Kiel has remained in 17th place in the Bundesliga standings for nine consecutive rounds, with a five-point gap from the playoff zone. Notably, the team has scored only four times in home matches this season, a record better only than St. Pauli's three.

• The club has not scored more than one goal in 6 of their last 7 home games in this tournament.
• Holstein Kiel has lost 6 of their last 7 home matches in the Bundesliga.
• The team has conceded at least two goals in their last 5 league matches.

Augsburg

In the last round, the team fell to Bayer Leverkusen (0-2). Over the past six Bundesliga matches, the club has secured just one victory (3 draws, 2 losses). Jess Thorup's side sits in 13th place in the Bundesliga standings, with a six-point cushion above the playoff zone. Notably, Augsburg has scored only four goals in away matches this season, the lowest among all teams in the tournament.

• The club has not won in their last 10 away matches in this tournament (2 draws, 8 losses).
• The team has not scored more than one goal in 9 of their last 10 away games in the Bundesliga.
• Opponents have scored at least three times in 11 of Augsburg's last 12 away matches in the league.

Holstein Kiel vs. Augsburg: Match Prediction

Marcel Rapp's side has been unconvincing in the Bundesliga, having secured only one victory in this tournament, narrowly defeating Heidenheim, who currently occupies a playoff spot.

Augsburg, on the other hand, has performed more confidently in the Bundesliga. Jess Thorup's side has remained unbeaten in 5 of their last 7 matches in this tournament (2 wins, 3 draws). During this period, they only failed to earn points against top teams, such as formidable Bayern Munich (0-3) and the reigning champions, Bayer Leverkusen (0-2).

I anticipate that in the upcoming match against one of the Bundesliga's lower-ranked teams, the visitors will secure at least a point. My prediction: Augsburg to win or draw
