Holstein Kiel form and stats

Holstein Kiel have only played one 2. Bundesliga game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 6 wins, 4 draws and 7 defeats from 17 matches.

Holstein Kiel are returning here after visiting Gutersloh in a DFB Pokal fixture and winning with a 2-0 scoreline.

Previous to that game, a 2. Bundesliga home match hosting Greuther Furth in a game that was won 2-1.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Holstein have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 13 matches with the results: Won 6, drawn 3 and lost 4.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Holstein Kiel at home in the league. 2 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.

Magdeburg form and stats

One match played away so far in the 2. Bundesliga for Magdeburg and it was a tie. Last season the statistics for their away games were 6 wins, 3 draws and 8 losses from 17 games.

Two travels in a row for Magdeburg, whose boss Titz could celebrate last time after the DFB Pokal win against Jahn Regensburg.

A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Eintracht Braunschweig.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 8 similar matches played by Magdeburg in our archives, and the results are: 2 wins for Magdeburg, 2 draws and 4 defeats.

It's early days yet, but Magdeburg has scored 1 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
