Holstein Kiel Travels Early: Fighting for League Survival

Holstein Kiel is traveling two days before the away game against Karlsruher SC. Coach Marcel Rapp wants to better prepare for the game with this measure.

What are the reasons for the early arrival?

The reasons are relatively simple, said Rapp. We have already had several Saturday games where the journey was longer and we sometimes sat in the bus for seven or eight hours.

What is the current situation of Holstein Kiel?

Holstein Kiel has not won in four games and has lost three of the last three games. The Bundesliga relegation team is only one point away from the relegation playoff spot as 14th in the table with 24 points.

Who are the key players returning?

Swedish striker Alexander Bernhardsson returns to the squad after more than two months. Midfielders Umut Tohumcu and Kasper Davidsen are also fit again.
