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 story so far in the 2. Bundesliga for Holstein Kiel at their home stadium (Holstein-Stadion) is 4 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats.
Holstein are returning here after visiting Jahn Regensburg and winning with a 2-1 scoreline. Mühling and Korb scored the goal(s). Goalkeeper Dähne got the top rating on the team in that game; 8.12 out of ten. Dähne saved a penalty.
A 1-1 draw away before that, with Schalke 04 the opponent.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 Kiel as a small favourite), we find seven games. Holstein Kiel has won four of these, drawn two and lost one.
The Holstein Kiel fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 10 matches. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Holstein Kiel have conceded 16 from these games.
Fortuna Düsseldorf form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their 2. Bundesliga travels is 4 wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats. Three has not been a lucky number for Fortuna Düsseldorf as they have been defeated three times in a row since the St. Pauli match.
Fortuna Düsseldorf have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 292 minutes ago. Hennings was the goal scorer.
Fortuna Düsseldorf might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Nurnberg proved too strong as Düsseldorf slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Merkur Spiel-Arena. Hoffmann, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 8.03. Hoffmann hit two key passes and won 8 of 12 duels.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Werder Bremen wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Fortuna Düsseldorf playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were one Fortuna Düsseldorf win, one draw and four defeats.
Fortuna Düsseldorf have scored 11 goals on their travels this season, from 10 away games in the league. Düsseldorf have conceded 14 goals in these away matches.
