2. Bundesliga preview: Greuther Fürth vs. Holstein Kiel

Greuther Fürth will host Holstein Kiel at the Sportpark Ronhof on Sunday afternoon in a crucial 2. Bundesliga meeting between two lower-table rivals. Fürth currently sit 12th in the table with nine points, while Kiel trail directly behind in 13th place with eight points. A victory for Fürth would mark their 500th all-time win in the 2. Bundesliga as they look to recover from a 3-0 defeat against VfL Osnabrück.

Holstein Kiel enter Bavaria on a high note after defeating Dynamo Dresden 3-0 in the league and eliminating TSG Hoffenheim on penalties in the DFB-Pokal. Tim Walter's side is still chasing its first away league win of the campaign, having secured just one point from four road matches. Greuther Fürth will be without injured defender Maxim Dal, while Kiel are missing Taisei Abe, Hamza Muqaj, and several other long-term absentees.
