This is how Dortmund last played!
The results of recent weeks underline Dortmund's upswing. The team delivered a convincing away performance in the 2:2 draw in Munich, followed by a narrow 3:2 victory over Gladbach. Dortmund picked up another success against Hoffenheim, winning 3:2 - proof of their mental strength. Particularly impressive were the dominant performances against Wolfsburg (4:0) and Leverkusen (4:2), in which the offense showed all its class. Dortmund remained unbeaten in five consecutive matches, scoring 16 goals in the process. This run underlines the current run of form and gives the team a clear psychological advantage ahead of the home game against Kiel. The trend at this stage is clearly in favor of the hosts.
How good is Kiel's current form?
Holstein Kiel are fighting against relegation and have recently bounced back with two wins and a draw. The most recent away record stands out positively: In the last five games in foreign stadiums, Kiel have won twice and taken a point twice. Only one defeat has been recorded in this span. In the 3-1 win in Augsburg, the Storks showed more offensive determination and defensive stability than in large parts of the season, according to Dortmund - Kiel Tipp. Despite finishing 17th and a goal difference of 49:77, their recent performances have been more combative. It remains to be seen whether this development will be enough to withstand a strong opponent like Dortmund. However, the match could still offer potential for those who want to take advantage of a free bet without a deposit.

That was Kiel's last game!
Kiel's results in the final stretch of the season reflect a certain inconsistency. After a 1:2 against St. Pauli, the team surprised with a 1:1 in Leipzig. This was followed by a thrilling 4:3 against Gladbach - strong offensively, vulnerable defensively. In Augsburg, Kiel then played a more controlled game and won 3:1, before losing narrowly to Freiburg again. The inconsistent defensive performance is striking: In the last five games, Kiel conceded at least one goal in every match. Nevertheless, three games won or drawn in this period show that the team should not be underestimated. In the clash with Dortmund, however, it is likely to be the defense in particular that will be called upon to avoid coming under pressure early on.
