St. Pauli vs Holstein Kiel Prediction & Betting tips
When it gets dark on Monday night on the Kiez and the floodlight on Millerntor, then we know: The Second Bundesliga calls! In the last match of the fourth matchday in the second highest German league are facing St. Pauli and Kiel. According to the quotas, the storks are even favored by the Baltic Sea coast.
The distribution of the quotes thus underlines the hitherto disappointing performances of the Hamburg, who have only one point after three matchdays on the account and last two times in a row in league operation lost the short. The mood in coach Jos Luhukay’s team is also anything but optimistic and optimistic.
Nevertheless, it is quite surprising that in the game St. Pauli against Kiel a tip on the away win is considered more probable than the first three of the home side, especially as the KSV Holstein could only four counters on the credit side recorded. After all, the protégés of Andre Schubert last offered the best performance of the still young season at the 2: 1 against Karlsruhe.
Because the Kieler but only two of 28 away games at the Millerntor victorious designed and even in the current league season, the only guest appearance in Darmstadt deservedly lost 0-2, we would before the duel St. Pauli vs.. Kiel to give up a forecast on the game outcome.
St. Pauli:
Football is a result sport. FC St. Pauli had to take this bitter insight last weekend after the away game at VfB Stuttgart once more.
Although the Hamburg delivered a really good game at the Bundesliga relegated and in particular in the first 60 minutes could have been higher, was at the end of a 1: 2 defeat zubuche, by the Kiezklub for the time being slipped to a direct relegation zone.
With only one point from three league games as well as due to the recent two defeats at home against SpVgg Greuther Fürth and in Stuttgart, the Paulians ranked in 17th place and have to watch in the coming weeks as quickly as possible to overturn the proverbial goat, so as not to prematurely connect to lose to the top half of the table.
Only the belief in a successful run is currently missing in the Hanseatic city of Hamburg, because on the one hand, the defensive week makes hair-raising unfocusednesses and on the other lacks coach Luhukay still the alternatives to respond adequately to failures or form weaknesses.
Whether the midweek defenders James Lawrence (Anderlecht) and Matt Penney (Leicester) can remedy the situation remains to be seen. In addition, there is still a strong and creative six as well as a striker who takes on the last-term criticism of exploitation of opportunities.
Another problem identified is the lack of condition in the final phase. For more than 60 minutes, St. Pauli was the better team in Stuttgart before a small break-in followed. The best example of this was provided by Mats Möller Daehli, who was one of the best players on the pitch and yet had to be replaced exhausted after just under an hour.
By the way, the term “must be” has to be critically questioned, because after the game the 24-year-old Norwegian claimed that his substitution had come too early and that he could have played a bit longer. His coach claimed exactly the opposite, which reiterates the tensions within the team.
Although the Kiezkicker won at least eight of their 17 home games last year and at home significantly more effective than occurred in the distance, in the current situation an appearance in front of their fans may not be a big advantage.
The pressure is clearly on the shoulders of the ambitious table 17, who wants to operate after the 1: 3 defeat in the only home game against Fürth necessarily redress.
We therefore forecast between St. Pauli and Kiel that a tip on the home side – despite surprisingly high home prices – does not claim a high probability of success.
We can imagine that coach Luhukay after six goals in three games against an offensive opponent such as keel once the focus on a compact defensive work, then to come with targeted attacks to success.
Christopher Avevor, Markus Ziereis, Ih-Yeong Park, Luis Cordes, Henk Veerman and Borys Tashchy will not stand for injury. Despite the defeat at VfB Stuttgart mentioned several times, Jos Luhukay will probably start a similar starting eleven as in the previous week. It remains to be seen whether this Pauli team is then able to hold on for 90 minutes the ailing pace.
Kiel:
For the athletic leadership duo of KSV Holstein, the away game on Monday night is a Millerntor a very special challenge. The speech is of course by Andre Schubert and Fabian Boll, who both have a common Pauli past. The former crowd pleaser “Boller”, of course, even more than the now 48-year-old football teacher.
Fabian Boll belongs with his more than 300 official matches for the Kiezklub in altogether 14 years to the largest idols of the association. The 40-year-old detective, who is currently resting his job with the police to take about 50 minutes on the A7 to Kiel in daily life, followed in the summer the call of his ex-coach Schubert and became his assistant at the fjord.
On Monday, however, old friendships will have to rest, because Boll’s and Schubert’s attention is logically focused solely on kidnapping the three points from the old employer. The prospects for it are not bad, because the storks seem to have come into shape in time for the away task in Hamburg.
After a moderate start with only one point from the two games at home against Sandhausen (1: 1) and in Darmstadt (0: 2), the Kiel in the first round of the DFB Cup in Salmrohr at 6: 0 shot the frustration of the soul ,
It followed the important 2-1 home win last weekend against the undefeated Karlsruher SC.
The Northern Lights did not let themselves be disturbed despite a temporary 1-0 deficit and shot the match thanks to two goals from Jae-sung Lee. With now four points, Holstein is in the midfield of the table, but has the opportunity to re-establish the connection to the top group with another threesome.
In order to focus more closely on the direct duel between St. Pauli and Kiel, we should state that the orientation of the storks in the current season is no longer necessarily comparable to the march route from the previous year.
Former coach Tim Walter, who now swings the scepter at VfB Stuttgart, stood like no other for unconditional and high-risk offensive football, which often went to the detriment of the defensive. Andre Schubert, on the other hand, prefers a more orderly style of play, which his protégés now better and better internalize.
In this respect, it is not uncommon for bookmakers to take the results, numbers and facts from the last game year as the basis for their quota distribution and possibly weight them too much. Two of the three second division matches ended with a maximum of two goals.
Jannik Dehm must continue to watch injured. Jonas Meffert was sent off against Karlsruhe with a red of the field and is therefore also missing in the squad of the guests. Otherwise, only a few changes are expected. For Meffert Ignjovski should move into the defensive midfield. Emmanuel Iyoha is also a candidate for a jump in the starting lineup.
