After two games we know a little more about the qualities of Holstein Kiel and Fortuna Düsseldorf in this fresh 2. Bundesliga season. Read our match preview!

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Holstein Kiel form and stats

The hosts won their first 2. Bundesliga game here at Holstein-Stadion, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Holstein Kiel last season were 5 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses from 17 games.

The Holstein goalkeeper Ioannis Gelios is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 267 minutes without conceding a goal in the 2. Bundesliga.

The home team returns to Holstein-Stadion after being equal after 90 minutes with Eintracht Braunschweig (placed 15th) on their last time out; the 2. Bundesliga game ended 0-0. Ahead of that match, Holstein won a home game hosting Paderborn (1-0).

This is expected to be a close game, with Holstein Kiel perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Holstein as a small favourite), we find six games. Holstein Kiel has won two of these, drawn zero and lost four.

At Holstein-Stadion, Holstein Kiel has the goal stats of 1-0 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.

Fortuna Düsseldorf form and stats

Fortuna Düsseldorf have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the 2. Bundesliga were 2 victories, 6 draws and 9 defeats from 17 fixtures. Fortuna Düsseldorf seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

The supporters enjoyed Düsseldorf's previous game versus Würzburger Kickers (placed 18th), a 2. Bundesliga 1-0 win played at home. A 1-2 defeat away at Hamburger SV before that.

World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager U. Rösler when Dawid Kownacki scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 74th minute.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found two similar matches played by Fortuna Düsseldorf in our archives, and the results are: one win for Düsseldorf, zero draws and one defeat.

Fortuna Düsseldorf have the goal stats of 1-2 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last six meetings): Holstein won one game, three matches ended with a draw and Fortuna Düsseldorf has two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: three / three
