Holstein Kiel vs Hamburger SV Prediction & Betting tips
Almost all experts have now made a decision. HSV is the absolute top favorite in the second Bundesliga and the first contender for promotion to the Bundesliga. But that doesn’t mean that the Red Pants will win every game in the House of Commons. Holstein Kiel in particular will have something against it, because the storks have been the feared opponents of Hamburg in the second division to date.
The Hanseatic League has never prevailed against Holstein Kiel in the second Bundesliga. At home, Hamburg even suffered the first historical defeat in the lower house against the storks. Nevertheless, the best bookmakers see the Hamburgers on Monday with the better prospects of a three.
In the table of the second division, Daniel Thioune’s team is at the top. 16 points from six games are a grandiose result, which should ideally be expanded on the fjord. However, Kiel also got off to a very good start and are second with five points behind before the matchday. Overall, it is difficult to make a concrete forecast in the top match between Kiel and HSV.
Ole Werner’s team has the opportunity to really get on the Hanseatic side with a home win. However, it is impossible to pull past the Rothosen this Monday. Hamburg remain at the top, the only question is how big the cushion will be before the international break. We think it will be more luxurious and tend to tip the guests in the match between Kiel and HSV.
Kiel :
This season Holstein Kiel is playing the football that is needed in the second division to be successful. One calls it disgusting, the other speaks of physical play. 19 yellow and two red cards mean rank 18 in the fairness table. Especially in a derby, the HSV can prepare for the fact that the Kiel will be more robust again.
In the first six days of the match, the storks suffered only one defeat. The highly traded Bundesliga relegated from Düsseldorf and Paderborn were also defeated in their own stadium. This makes it clear how dangerous the storks are in the Holstein Stadium and therefore it is not absurd to take a look at the odds for a point win for the home side in the match between Kiel and HSV.
Last weekend, the Kiel team had to be satisfied with a 1-1 draw in the Ore Mountains. After nine minutes the result was already established. Janni Serra had equalized the early deficit. Because Philipp Neumann flew off the pitch after a quarter of an hour, the draw in Aue must definitely be viewed as a success.
Philipp Neumann will miss his team for a few weeks now. Then there is only the injured Noah Awuku. Otherwise, the storks are well staffed on Monday, because all other players should be available to coach Ole Werner. Kiel does not have the best line-up, but almost with the desired formation.
HSV :
Daniel Thioune has given HSV a bit of unpredictability. Tactically, the Hanseatic players play extremely variable and have also strengthened themselves outstandingly for second division conditions. There is no doubt that the championship in the second Bundesliga is only going to go through HSV this season, which is the prevailing opinion for the third year in a row.
This year, however, the Hanseatic people seem to be more stable. There are not many teams that are unbeaten in German professional football this season, HSV is one of them. 16 points from five games indicate how good Hamburg is this year and therefore the odds comparison of the betting base on Monday between Kiel and HSV shows a forecast of an away win.
On the last day of the match there was a city derby against FC St. Pauli in Hamburg. In the end there was a fair 2-2 draw, even if the Rothosen had a little more of the game. Simon Terodde scored his fourth brace in the sixth game and is at the top of the top scorer list with eight goals. If we will, the attacker is the Robert Lewandowski of the House of Commons.
In terms of personnel, things are looking really good again at HSV. All ailing players reported fit again before the derby in Kiel. Jeremy Dudziak or Bakary Jatta are therefore an option for the starting XI. This means that Daniel Thioune will only have to do without Rick van Drongelen, who is training again after his cruciate ligament rupture.
