Bochum vs Holstein Kiel Prediction & Betting tips
With Bochum against Kiel there is a duel between two goal-happy teams. After all, the third and fourth best series of attacks of the Second Bundesliga face each other. Another parallel is the fickle defensive series, which in contrast to the services of the attacking departments often drop significantly.
In view of this combination, it is not surprising that in the games with the participation of the West and North German goals on the flowing line: With 3.3 per game, the home side even have the highest average per game. The 3.1 goals in the games of the guests are only slightly behind this value and represent the second highest number in the second Bundesliga.
For the encounter between Bochum and Kiel, the tip therefore aims to ensure that at least three goals are scored and that at least one goal is celebrated on both sides. The home side will be very offensive because, unlike the opponents, they still have relegation concerns, which means that an open game is emerging.
The kick-off in the Vonovia Ruhrstadion takes place at 17:30 p.m. on May 27.
Bochum:
Bochum are particularly keen to score at home: with 31 goals, the kickers from the Ruhr area can point to the best home offensive in a league-wide comparison. This group of coach Thomas Reis apparently calls this quality even without a spectator.
In the first match after the resumption of play around a week ago, VfL immediately achieved a clear 3-0 home win against Heidenheim. Congolese striker Silvere Ganvoula with twelve goals and Danny Blum are two impressive examples of the strong offensive.
The latter midfielder is not only very successful as an executor, there are currently nine goals, but also as a provider: The 29-year-old has eight goals from his teammates – second-best value in the Second Bundesliga.
The fact that league operations are still against relegation and not about jumping into the upper house for Bochum is obviously due to the back team. This regularly undoes the great work of the storm.
She has already made an impressive 45 goals – a number that only the second to last table from Karlsruhe and 1. FC Nürnberg barely top. However, the defense has recently stabilized: Three consecutive clean sheets were won against Dresden, Heidenheim and finally the KSC.
Coach Thomas Reis, who had taken over the job from Robin Dutt after five matchdays and had managed to lead the team from the penultimate place in the table to at least the lower midfield, will undoubtedly rely on an offensive match plan. Only four points separate the team from Castroper Strasse from the relegation site, which is why it is essential to score.
Kiel:
The ball rested in the second Bundesliga for almost 70 days before it started again in mid-May. Holstein seemed to have weathered the break very well.
In the first match at Jahn Regensburg, everything indicated a victory, but the two-goal lead in the Upper Palatinate was still lost and in the end the kickers from the Baltic Sea had to be content with a draw that felt more like a bankruptcy. Nevertheless, the playful performance was absolutely fine except for the poor exploitation of opportunities. This verdict was impressively confirmed last weekend.
VfB Stuttgart were defeated 3-2 at home in the Holstein stadium, although the Swabians deserved a point in view of the balanced game. In the encounter with Bochum, coach Ole Werner can also rely on the away strength of his team, which, as seen in the match near Regensburg, continues to exist.
Only Arminia from Bielefeld has so far scored more points and scored more away goals in the lower house of German football. In view of this, the odds for an away win by KSV with cashback in a draw are also interesting in the duel between Bochum and Kiel.
