Player to watch: Serhou Guirassy
Centre-forward Serhou Guirassy’s performance this season has been truly admirable. With 20 goals to his name during the 2024/25 Bundesliga season, he has caught the eye of several top clubs in Europe.
Guirassy on fire for BVB
Guirassy needs a miracle to dethrone Harry Kane from 1st place in the goalscoring department. There’s a five-goal gap between them currently. And sure, Guirassy will probably not manage to score five or six goals to reach the former Spurs star, but one thing is certain – Kovac’s key weapon in the attack has the quality to prove our professional Borussia Dortmund vs Holstein Kiel prediction correct.
