MATCH PREVIEW
MAIN PREDICTION: DRAW
As expected, it has been a difficult start for Aue, who have lost five of their first eight league matches, winning two and drawing one, with the most recent defeat a 1-0 away loss at Paderborn last weekend. On the flip side, though, Viola have secured wins over Duisburg (2-1) and St. Pauli (3-1). Aue are one of the lowest scorers in the league, netting just eight goals in eight games. As a result, Daniel Meyer’s men are hovering just one place and two points above the bottom three in 15th.
Tim Walter’s Holstein Kiel returned to winning ways last time out after picking up only one point from their previous three league matches. Having lost to Union Berlin in round seven, the Storks were excellent against Darmstadt in their last league outing, with three first-half goals proving enough to secure a clear 4-2 victory on home soil. As a result, Kiel now find themselves in ninth place.
This should be a very tight game at Erzgebirgs Stadium with both teams aiming for points – but I expect that both will cancel each other out.
SECOND PREDICTION: HILO – LOW
Two of Aue's three home league matches and two of Holstein Kiel's last three away league games have resulted in two total goals or fewer. Expect that trend to continue.
HEAD TO HEAD
Holstein Kiel took four points form both of their fixtures with Aue last term, winning 3-0 away and drawing 2-2 on home soil.
