Holstein Kiel - Bayer Leverkusen predictions

A mere glance at the betting odds for this match should tell you most you need to know. A home win here is almost an impossible outcome, so it’s not very likely we’ll see solid betting opportunities in the 1X2 market.

Bayer Leverkusen seem to be on their way to another easy victory and 3 more points to the tally. Priced at 1.29, the odds favour them heavily, so any outcome other than an away win is not exactly a safe choice.

Holstein Kiel’s painful defeat in their previous away match could have been seen from a mile away. They were facing Eintracht Frankfurt as visitors, so betting predictions never gave them much of a shot. The home team took an early lead which culminated in a 3:1 loss for Holstein Kiel.

Leverkusen’s previous round was a home match against Bayern München which ended in a draw. The scores were equal at half-time as well, which was quite surprising given the 3.15 odds on a home win.

The hosts will be looking to cut down on the number of goals they concede. They’ve recorded more than 5 total concessions over the last 3 matches, which is usually a cause for concern.

The away team’s home game record shows a high rate of goal scoring – more than 5 in the previous 3 matches, to be precise. Although they don’t have the advantage of a home game in this showdown, their attackers are still determined to do well against Holstein Kiel.

It’s fair to say the hosts have been struggling for the most of the Bundesliga season. With 13 points after 23 rounds, they sit in 18th place. Nothing is yet lost and they can still make it to safety if they play their cards right in the remaining part of the Bundesliga season.

Despite being favourites, Leverkusen couldn’t manage to secure a victory the last time they played against Holstein Kiel. This gives the hosts some precedent when it comes to beating the odds, but it’s not a strong case.

Patrick Erras, Colin Kleine-Bekel, Timon Weiner, John Tolkin will not be able to play for the hosts this Saturday due to various injuries. This makes their chances of coming out on top as underdogs even smaller but is important to keep in mind when considering betting odds.

The visiting team’s position as favourites is beyond question, especially with their whole roster at hand. They’ve had no recent injuries heading into the match at Holstein Kiel,

An Over 3.5 Goals bet is easily the smartest choice for this fixture, consider in the teams’ respective histories. It’s a considerably more probable outcome than it seems, so the 1 odds are great value.
