Holstein Kiel - Borussia M'gladbach predictions

Holstein Kiel have their work cut out for them if they want to beat Borussia M'gladbach. They are widely considered to be the weaker team – though the difference is not huge, to be fair. Overall, it’s shaping up to be an exciting showdown.

Borussia M. are heading into what’s surely be a challenge. Holstein Kiel are not to be taken lightly and an away victory would certainly be a big success for the visitors.

The 1:1 result at the end of Holstein Kiel’s previous match against RB Leipzig was quite surprising. They were considered far weaker than their opponents going in, yet managed to pull ahead in the first half.

Borussia M. were the clear underdogs in their previous Bundesliga matchup, as indicated by the overwhelming 7.64 odds that most bookies offered for their win. As expected, they lost, but not nearly as bad as many tipsters expected. A one-goal difference is not insurmountable, and it gives their supporters hope that they’ll be able to make up the points somewhere else.

The hosts have a dubious performance record at home. The previous 3 times they played at home were marked with over 5 goals conceded. That’s bad news considering playing at home is usually seen as an advantage.

Given 6 goals conceded in their own net over the past 3 matches, Borussia M'gladbach's defensive line is much to be desired.

Holstein Kiel are 1 point behind the safety and Saturday brings quite a challenge in their relegation battle. A new defeat would be quite a blow for the hosts who are sitting in 18th but a look at the prices offered by online bookmakers is enough to suspect how this match is likely to pan out.

As far as the head-to-head stats are concerned, Borussia M. already confirmed their status as favourites. They defeated the away team previously in the season, leaving little doubt as to which squad is in better form.

If you want to get some value out of this match, you’ll need to be willing to take a risk. The best betting offers are found in the HT/FT market, specifically for a Draw/Away bet.
