A victory for Holstein Kiel on Sunday at Holstein-Stadion against VfL Bochum could see them climb out of the Bundesliga's automatic relegation zone.
Holstein Kiel are second last in 17th place with 12 points and were beaten 4-3 by Bayern Munich on February 1, while Bochum are last with two points fewer and lost 1-0 against Freiburg last Saturday.
We say: Holstein Kiel 2-1 VfL Bochum
Despite Bochum's improved form of late, it is hard to ignore the fact they have been so easily beaten on the road this season.
Additionally, Holstein Kiel have been stronger at home in recent weeks, and their improved exploits in the final third should make them favourites on Sunday.

With the chasing pack not far behind, RB Leipzig will hope to cling onto their Champions League spot when they host St Pauli at Red Bull Arena on Sunday in the Bundesliga.
Leipzig's tally of 33 points sees them come into the weekend in fourth place in the final Champions League qualification spot, but fifth-placed Stuttgart are just one point behind, while St Pauli are 13th with 21 points and drew 1-1 with Augsburg on February 1.
We say: RB Leipzig 1-1 St Pauli
St Pauli have been excellent at keeping their opponents out, and it is difficult to see how a struggling Leipzig side will be able to cause them significant problems.
However, the hosts rarely suffer defeat at home, so it would not be surprising if the two teams played out a closely fought stalemate.
