Heidenheim - Holstein Kiel predictions

Betting odds can be illusive at times and Holstein Kiel are more than capable of pulling an upset. However, Heidenheim should have a clear path to victory if they stick to the plan.

It would be a minor miracle for Holstein Kiel to win at Heidenheim, and they’re likely aware of that. Though risky, such an outcome could bring solid profits thanks to the 3.67 price on most online sportsbooks.

,It all seemed lost for Heidenheim at the half-time break of their previous away game. Their opponents Hoffenheim were in the lead and were expected to win – but Heidenheim managed to equalize against all odds and walk away with a point in a 1:1 stalemate.

Holstein Kiel were facing odds of 1.57 to win their most recent Bundesliga match, so not even their most ardent supporters had much hope. However, they were playing at home and managed to keep up with Stuttgart throughout the runtime, earning themselves a single point.

Heidenheim’s recent performances have raised some questions about their defence. They conceded 6 goals throughout their latest three Bundesliga matches and betting on Over 4.5 seems like a reasonable option.

Holstein Kiel have a notoriously bad track record when it comes to defending their posts. Though their recent streak of 5 conceded goals over 3 home games does not directly apply here, it’s still bad news.

With just 16 points to their name, Heidenheim are number 18th in the standings. This puts them right on the road to relegation unless they manage to start winning.

The away team are struggling to get out of the relegation zone while they still have time to earn some points. After all, they’re not very likely to win any in round 26 because of the severely unfavourable matchup.

Heidenheim previously played this match as the visitors in a previous round of the Bundesliga and suffered a fairly narrow defeat. Most bookies believe things will end differently this time, pricing a home win at 2.05.

A string of injuries put a large chunk of the visitors’ lineup out of contention. They’ll have to make do without Patrick Erras, Colin Kleine-Bekel, Max Geschwill, John Tolkin, Ivan Nekić. Given that they were already underdogs anyhow, this puts them at a severely disadvantaged position.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 2.06.
