Holstein Kiel

The team has already suffered its 6th defeat in the current championship (2 draws), losing to Stuttgart in the previous round with a score of 1:2. Thus, Holstein continues to be one of the two clubs in this season's Bundesliga, along with Bochum, that have not won a game. Moreover, the Kiel-based team remains in the relegation zone of the league table, occupying the 17th spot, with the gap from the safety of the 15th position now extended to 6 points. Additionally, Holstein has the worst defensive record in the tournament, having conceded 23 goals.

• The club has conceded at least 2 goals in all 8 matches of the current championship.
• There was an exchange of goals in 5 of the last 6 Holstein's Bundesliga encounters.
• At home in the current season of the tournament, the team has lost all 4 matches.

Heidenheim

Under the guidance of Frank Schmidt, the team played to a draw for the first time in the current championship, not scoring in the last round's match against Hoffenheim. This result ended the club's 8-match streak without a draw in the Bundesliga (4 wins, 4 losses). Notably, Heidenheim managed to keep a clean sheet for the 4th time in the current championship. In the Bundesliga league table, the team is in the 10th position, trailing the European competition spots by 4 points.

• In 6 out of the last 8 matches of the club in the German championship, at least one opponent failed to score.
• The team has scored exactly 2 goals in the last 4 away Bundesliga matches.
• Heidenheim has not lost in 11 out of the last 14 away matches in this tournament (5 wins, 6 draws).

Holstein Kiel vs Heidenheim: match prediction

Holstein Kiel suffered another defeat after promotion to the Bundesliga. Notably, in all matches of the current championship, Holstein has conceded at least twice. This should be a concern for the club's fans ahead of the match against Heidenheim, which has managed to hit the net exactly twice in their last 4 away Bundesliga encounters. It is also important to highlight once again the fact that the Kiel team has lost all home games of the current championship.

Heidenheim, on the other hand, consistently earns points on the road, not losing in 11 of the previous 14 matches in this tournament. Moreover, this streak includes matches against much stronger opponents than Holstein. I believe that Frank Schmidt's team will not lose this time either, disappointing the league's least reliable defense at least twice.

Therefore, my prediction is "X2 + Over 1.5" with odds of .
