MATCH PREVIEW
MAIN PREDICTION: HOME WIN
Braunschweig produced one
of the surprise results of the week on the road to Ingolstadt in week 16. They
set up with a 4-2-3-1 formation and did well do frustrate Ingolstadt to gain
the win. Torsten Lieberknecht’s men had been in very poor form before that
latest win – without winning a single game in the last four league matches.
Now, they sit ninth the table and have a positive goal difference of +4. While
they still hold the record of the most draws in 2.Bundesliga in 16 matches,
standing at 9. There have not been so many positives to talk of for them this
season, but that win against in-form Ingolstadt may spark a rejuvenated spirit
amongst the camp.
Holstein Kiel travels south
to Braunschweig, having an unbeaten run of the last six matches on their
travels, while they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last four
matches. Holstein Kiel’s form is excellent, having lost none of the last nine
league matches and could defend the leading position against Dusseldorf in the
last game with a 2-2 draw. The next positive aspect of the statistics for them
is that they also have the most goals scored in 2.Bundesliga – creating chances
doesn’t seem to be a problem for them, and most of the time they get those
chances finished as an average from 2,25 goals / game showed.
Braunschweig in front of
their own fans is a different team and most of the opponents will have problems
there. Home win.
HEAD TO HEAD
This teams met for the
first time in 2.Bundesliga.
