Holstein Kiel form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Holstein Kiel's two home games in the 2. Bundesliga so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Holstein-Stadion.
Holstein Kiel faced defeat in their previous match, away at Paderborn (2-7). The first setback in the shape of a loss after going undefeated in four league fixtures. As you see from the result above, Holstein Kiel suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one. The penalty miss from Mühling in the defeat against Paderborn was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen. The forward Skrzybski outdid all the other footballers in that match and received a match rating of 7.33 out of 10. Skrzybski scored one goal, served one assist and hit one key pass.
Before that game, the 3-0 home victory against Eintracht Braunschweig.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Holstein have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 11 games) they have won 4 times, drawn 1 and lost 6.
Goals keep coming in this team's league matches, with 5 in a row containing at least three goals (over 2.5).
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Holstein Kiel at home in the league. 5 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Sandhausen form and stats
No 2. Bundesliga points yet away for Sandhausen, from their first 2 matches.
Sandhausen might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Nurnberg proved too strong as Sandhausen slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at BWT-Stadion am Hardtwald. It's probably bad news for Sandhausen that their goalkeeper Drewes made six saves in the Nurnberg fixture, but still couldn't stop a defeat. Defender Okoroji was the best team player with a rating of 7.34. Okoroji hit one key pass and won 5 of 8 duels.
Prior to that match, the Sandhausen manager Schwartz faced defeat when travelling to Karlsruher SC and losing 2-3.We have checked recent matches where Sandhausen have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 11 games were 2 victories, 1 draw and 8 defeats.
Sandhausen have the goal stats of 3-5 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Holstein Kiel three wins, four draws and Sandhausen three victories. As for goals, seven matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three games had two or less.
