Heidenheim vs Holstein Kiel Prediction & Betting tips
In the game Heidenheim against Kiel, the odds do not provide a clear picture of which of the two ambitious top teams from the 2nd Bundesliga will be the favorite in the direct duel on Friday evening. Some providers see the 1st FCH ahead, others see the cup semi-finalists from the north of the republic.
The fact that a prognosis for the outcome of the game between Heidenheim and Kiel actually proves to be difficult is underlined by the look at the home and away table in the lower house. While the Red-Blue from the Ostalb continue to have the strongest home team in the league, KSV Holstein is still one of the best away teams. First of all, the Werner-Elf left the field as a loser.
Heidenheim:
After the 3: 4 home defeat at the end of January against FC St. Pauli, which was also the first and only in the current season, hardly anyone would have thought that 1. FC Heidenheim would still have realistic chances just five game days later may calculate the first promotion to the Bundesliga. While the Red-Blue only ranked tenth with ten points behind the relegation place, the Schmidt-Elf has now climbed to fifth in the table of the 2nd Bundesliga. The gap to third place has shrunk to four points.
The fact that last year’s third is going into the coming weeks with a lot of self-confidence and has very promising prospects in the battle for the top three places is primarily due to the recent high form. The 1st FCH was able to make four of the last five second division games victorious. Last week there was a hard-fought 2: 1 at the bottom of the table in Würzburg, which meant that the weakness away from home with seven points from the last three guest games could be shelved for the time being.
Kiel :
Holstein Kiel was only in action at Hamburger SV on Monday evening. Despite an early 1-0 lead, the storks ultimately had to be satisfied with a 1: 1, which in view of the numerous missed scoring chances of HSV even had to be classified in the “happy” category. The Kieler still claimed second place and want to land another big point in the fight for promotion on Friday evening.
Between Heidenheim and Kiel, however, a forecast for the guests is associated with a certain risk, as the team of coach Ole Werner recently missed the impressive away strength for long stretches of the season. Admittedly, we complain about a defeat in twelve guest appearances at an extremely high level, but only one of the last four games was won in the distance.
The showpiece of the cup semi-finalists, who will fight for their first place in the final in the semifinals at Borussia Dortmund at the beginning of May, is still their own defense. 22 goals conceded are in total the lowest value of all 18 second division clubs. Even more breathtaking are the only eight hits received abroad, which logically also represent a top score.
