MATCH PREVIEW
MAIN PREDICTION: AWAY WIN
Sandhausen are one of the form teams in the German second division, winning four, drawing two and losing none of their past six league matches. At bottom side Duisburg, Sandhausen drew 2-2 last weekend. However, despite their good recent form, they have still picked up just three league wins at Hardtwald Stadium since mid-October, drawing five and losing two of their last ten league matches on their own patch. The team are currently only four points above the drop zone.
Holstein Kiel have been enjoying a fine season under Tim Walter’s tutelage, spending most of their league campaign in the top six. The Storks have an even record away from the Holstein Stadium, securing five wins, drawing five times and suffering five defeats in league action. Since winning back-to-back away league matches back in early December, they have won just one of their past six away league games whilst losing two and drawing three. Holstein Kiel suffered a setback when they lost 2-1 at home against promotion rivals Paderborn last weekend.
Sandhausen have been in remarkably good form in recent weeks but Holstein Keil should be too strong. I can see the visitors’ promotion push continuing with another away league victory this weekend.
SECOND PREDICTION: HILO - HIGH
Both teams have been scoring a fair amount of goals of late and that looks set to continue here with both attacks on fire. Sandhausen have scored two or more in four of their last five league matches while Holstein Kiel have registered nine goals in their last five league games. Both teams should at least be able to find the net and I will therefore predict a high-scoring league game.
HEAD TO HEAD
Sandhausen beat Holstein Kiel 3-1 in the team’s only home league encounter against Holstein Kiel in the second division back in 2017.
