Holstein Kiel - Arminia Bielefeld

Phil Harres remains the focal point for Holstein Kiel as they prepare to host Arminia Bielefeld at Holstein Stadion on 7 November 2026 for matchday 11 of the 2. Bundesliga. The forward is expected to lead the line alongside Giorgi Kvilitaia, aiming to reignite the attacking spark that saw the side put three goals past Dynamo Dresden in late October. Kiel enters this contest looking to recover from a narrow defeat to Greuther Fuerth, a result that punctuated a challenging run of form where consistency in the final third has often proven elusive.

Arminia Bielefeld arrive with momentum, buoyed by a recent 3-1 victory over Eintracht Braunschweig. With Marius Woerl anchoring the midfield, the visitors have shown a capacity to grind out results, including a clean sheet in their narrow win against Bochum. The historical head-to-head record favours the visitors, who have enjoyed success in previous encounters at this venue, but Kiel will be determined to disrupt that trend and climb the table.
