Koln from the Bundesliga and Holstein Kiel from Bundesliga 2 go at each other in this relegation-promotion double-legged playoff on Wednesday. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.

Both sides have clashed only twice in all of German football. This was in the second division back in the 18/19 season with Koln winning the second leg while the first ended in a stalemate.

Highly-anticipated encounter on the cards

FC Koln had quite an abysmal season in the German top flight. After 34 games played, they picked up only 33 points, scoring just 34 goals, and conceded a whopping 60- the second-worst defensive record in the league. Although they have a chance at redemption having finished in the relegation playoff spot above Werder Bremen and Schalke 04.

Holstein Kiel would only have themselves to blame if they fail to secure promotion into the top flight given that they were inches away from automatic qualification. However, with two losses in their last two games Greuther Furth winning both their final games caused the Kiel-based side to drop into the promotion playoff spot.

Koln vs Holstein Kiel Prediction: 2-1

Koln won three of their final five games in the Bundesliga and as such, head into this game in decent form. As such, given that their opponents failed to win their last two games, we would be leaning towards the home side.
