Aue vs Holstein Kiel Prediction & Betting tips
The start of the new year could not have been any more different for the two teams. While the home side has not yet celebrated a threesome, the guests are so far undefeated in 2020. The form speaks clearly for the guests in this duel, but the home side are extremely strong at home.
The good start of Kiel is also reflected in the table of the 2nd league, where the storks have now passed the violets. Should they really succeed in reconnecting to the promotion places?
It didn’t look like that at the beginning of the season. After a completely screwed-up start, the Kiel team found themselves in the table cellar. The Erzgebirge, on the other hand, have been away from the relegation zone for the entire season and can therefore be satisfied with the course so far.
In order to prevent another slide, a victory has to be won slowly. The kick-off in the Erzgebirge Stadium takes place on Sunday at 12:30 p.m.
Aue :
In the past few years, the struggle for relegation has always been a priority for the Erzgebirge. It seems to be different this year. With a good start to the season, Aue developed a point cushion so that there is justified hope of a relaxed season.
After ten days of play, the purple and whites already had 18 points on the account and were surprisingly fourth in the table in the second division. At the present time the Saxons won eight threes and shared the points with the opponents six times. That makes a total of 30 points and seventh place.
The advantage over the relegation place to the 3rd league is still reassuring nine points. However, the start to 2020 has not been successful.
In the 0-0 win against leaders Arminia Bielefeld, Aue took the only point this year. At Wehen Wiesbaden (0: 1) and in Stuttgart (0: 3) it suffered defeats.
The purple and white must continue to rely on home strength. 24 of the total of 30 points were scored by the violets in the Erzgebirge Stadium and are thus in third place in the home table.
Nevertheless, the best bookmakers in the game Aue against Kiel make an unfavorable forecast for the hosts and assign them the outsider role. Odds of 3.30 are offered for the tip on the home side.
The best goal scorer of the Saxons is the Azerbaijani Dimitrij Nazarov, who has scored seven times. His goals are urgently needed and the first goal in the new year should finally be celebrated on Sunday.
Defender Sören Gonther will miss the game on Sunday due to the fifth yellow card. Does the head coach Dirk Schuster’s team end the series of three games without a win or does the trend continue and the violets slide again into the relegation zone?
Holstein Kiel:
The course of the Kiel season is completely opposite to that of the Erzgebirge Aue. The storks made a catastrophic start and were in a disappointing sixteenth place in the table after six matchdays and only had five points on the plus side.
Trainer Andre Schubert was released from his duties and Ole Werner has been in charge since then. In the meantime, the situation of the North Germans improved dramatically and with 30 points the KSV worked its way up to sixth in the table. This puts the blue, white and red ahead of the opponent from Aue and the gap to third is only eight points.
The offensive is particularly impressive and has already scored 34 goals. The fourth best value in the league behind the three top teams. The defensive, which has conceded 32 goals so far, is also greatly improved. In 2020 the storks only conceded two goals.
At the start after the winter break, the KSV made a 1-1 draw against the lilies from Darmstadt. Then a 2-0 success at KSC.
Last Monday, the Werner team received FC St. Pauli at the end of the 21st matchday. The Kielers, who are rather weak at home, ultimately won a bit happily with 2-1, because the Kiez-Kicker missed a penalty in the 95th minute.
The storks have now been undefeated for five league games and the third win in a row is intended to further narrow the gap to the top clubs.
The KSV represents the second best away team in the league, which justifies the favorites role. Fabian Reese, who was signed by FC Schalke 04 during the winter break, is currently struggling with muscular problems. There is a question mark behind his use.
