REF’s picks

Holstein Kiel hold the psychological edge with a strong historical record against Eintracht Braunschweig, making the draw no belt entry a sensible approach. Both sides sit near the relegation zone and desperately need points, which could lead to a cagey, nervy affair. However, the visitors have looked slightly more cohesive recently despite their struggles.

1. 1Holstein Kiel have won four of the last five head-to-head encounters against Braunschweig.
2. 2Both teams are hovering precariously just above the drop zone and fighting for survival.
3. 3Braunschweig's poor defensive form and lack of cutting edge on the road remain major risks.
