RB Leipzig has been fighting consistently for a while for the final Champions League qualification spot, which is testament to the team's tactical discipline and resilience, considering the many injuries to key players at various stages of the league season. After the narrowest of defeats to Borussia Mönchengladbach, Leipzig bounced back with impressive wins over Hoffenheim and Wolfsburg.
After each team has played 29 Bundesliga games, Leipzig uncomfortably sits in 4th position with just 3 points separating Leipzig from Mainz (5th place) and Freiburg (6th place). With the race for the Champions League heating up as the league draws to a slow conclusion, fans will want to see how Leipzig cope with such pressure.
RB Leipzig: Lineup
RB Leipzig will most likely maintain the formation they have used for a while, which is their standard 4-2-2-2 formation. This formation has brought great balance in both attack and defence for the team. With the attacking duo of Loïs Openda and Benjamin Šeško leading the line, goals are expected, although the absence of influential players such as Xavi Simons, Dani Olmo, and Willi Orbán (due to suspension and injuries) might limit the team. The defence is still very solid, especially considering the formation Leipzig plays.
🔖 RB Leipzig starting lineup (4-2-2-2)
Gulácsi – Henrichs, Simakan, Lukeba, Raum – Haidara, Schlager – Forsberg, Baumgartner – Openda, Šeško
⛔️ Out: X. Simos (suspension), X. Schlager, B. Henrichs, W. Orban, D. Raum, A. Nusa (injury)
👤 Head coach: Zsolt Löw

Holstein Kiel: form and statistics
Holstein Kiel has had a very turbulent and frustrating Bundesliga season, as evident in the team's inconsistent run of results. Kiel's form away from home has been of particular concern for the coach as the team has struggled consistently to get points, especially against top sides like Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich. However, against fellow strugglers, the team has shown moments of brilliance, demonstrated in the impressive win over Heidenheim (3-1). The team's chances of survival are slim but can be improved by maintaining consistent results, starting with Leipzig.
Holstein's recent form consists of four wins, five draws, and eleven losses when playing away. To maintain their Bundesliga status, the team has to urgently improve their defence and make its attack very potent. The attack has already shown some signs of improvement in the team's victory over Mainz, meaning the defence is the main concern. The main obstacle for Kiel will be to remain compact and resilient at the back.
Holstein Kiel: Lineup
Holstein Kiel is expected to play their favourite 4-2-3-1 formation with the ambition of staying compact and playing on the counter. With Benedikt Pichler still out injured, Alexander Be and Shuto Machin could lead the line, with Armin Gigovu supporting. In midfield, Holtby’s absence will be felt, but Magnus Knuds and Nicolai Remb could bring some experience. Marcel Rapp will hope his three at the back and wing players would provide a disciplined defence to absorb Leipzig’s pressure and keep things tight early on.
🔖 Holstein Kiel starting lineup (3-4-1-2)
Dahne – Becker, Ivezic, Komend – Rosenb, Tolkin, Knuds, Remb – Gigovi – Be, Machin
⛔️ Out: B. Pichler, A. Kelati, L. Holtby (all injured)
👤 Head coach: Marcel Rapp

RB Leipzig vs Holstein Kiel match prediction 19 April 2025
RB Leipzig in the last three games against Holstein Kiel have comfortably won by two or more goals. As RB Leipzig is planning to secure a spot in the Champions League, dropping points is not an option, especially against a relegation-threatened side like Holstein Kiel. As Holstein Kiel has shown some grit, they have been vulnerable, especially with playing away, as the team tends to concede early and cheap goals.
RB Leipzig’s offensive play, especially in front of their home fans, is expected to be able to properly trouble Kiel's defence. Kiel playing away always tends to be high scoring, and the same is expected.

Our betting tip on the match: is over 1.5 first half goals for a coefficient of 2.05 on the 1XBet bookmaker.
