Hot Take: Get Ready for Next Saturday's Showdown – The Final Match of the 2024/25 Bundesliga Season is Upon Us!
You better believe it, folks! The final round of the current German championship is here, and it's gonna be a doozy. We've got our eyes on a thrilling wager that's proven golden in all of Holstein's away games, and this time, we're putting our money where our mouth is!
The Lowdown
Borussia Dortmund has been on fire under coach Kovac, stringing together an impressive 7-match unbeaten streak, with a whopping 6 wins and a draw against Bayern (2:2) to boot. They're aiming for a Champions League spot, so you can bet they'll be giving it their all.
But don't let that confidence in attack (over 2 goals per game on average) fool you. Their defense leaves much to be desired, with 51 goals conceded, making them the worst among the top 7 teams in the Bundesliga.
Holstein's been putting up a strong fight towards the end of the season, grabbing 7 points from matches against Leipzig, Mönchengladbach's Borussia, and Augsburg. They even gave Freiburg a run for their money in the last round, attempting a solid 15 shots on goal.
The Prediction
Now, Holstein may seem demotivated after their loss to Freiburg, which ended their hopes of staying in the Bundesliga's top tier. But let's not underestimate these guys. They've scored in every away match this season, and in the first Bundesliga round, they scored a respectable 4 goals against Dortmund. There's at least one goal in them against the "black and yellows" in the upcoming match.
