Holstein Kiel will hope to use their home crowd at Holstein-Stadion to spur them to victory against Mainz 05 in the Bundesliga on Sunday, as they continue their quest for survival.
The hosts have just five points from 10 games and are second last in 17th place, four points and two positions from automatic safety, while Karnevalsverein are 10th with 13 points after 10 matchweeks and beat Borussia Dortmund 3-1 on November 9.
We say: Holstein Kiel 1-2 Mainz 05
Given Holstein Kiel's poor defensive displays this season, they could concede at least twice once again on Sunday.
Additionally, Mainz have been strong away from home in 2024-25, and they should be considered favourites.

In a match that could affect both the relegation battle and the race for European football, Borussia Monchengladbach are set to welcome St Pauli to Borussia-Park on Sunday in their 11th Bundesliga game of the campaign.
Die Fohlen are ninth with 14 points and managed to earn a point against RB Leipzig on November 9 after drawing 0-0, whereas their opponents are third-last in 16th place with eight points and were beaten 1-0 by Bayern Munich on November 9.
We say: Borussia Monchengladbach 1-1 St Pauli
Borussia Monchengladbach have been in better form of late, and it is difficult to see them losing at home.
Having said that, St Pauli may prove to be stubborn opposition, and it would not be surprising if they managed to hold out for a draw.
