Holstein Kiel vs Union Berlin Prediction and Betting Tips (20.10.2024)

Command Analysis

Holstein Kiel

Germany

Current form

There are only two teams left in the Bundesliga that have not won a single game since the start of the season: Holstein and Bochum. Marcel Rapp men have drawn twice and are one point ahead of Bochum, but 17th place is unlikely to suit them. Before the international break, Holstein showed their best side in the match against Bayer (2:2). In that match, they managed to come back from 0:2 down. It should be noted that the team strives to play actively, constantly press, but at the Bundesliga level, many players cannot withstand a serious pace. Hence the regular lapses in defense - 19 goals conceded, which is the worst indicator among all participants in the tournament.

Disqualifications and injuries

Kleine-Beckel and Kelati will not play today due to injuries. Johansson and Holtby are questionable.

Interesting trends for betting

Holstein have been losing in the first half in four of their last five matches
Five of the team six Bundesliga matches have seen goals exchanged

Estimated line-up : Weiner – Ivezic, Geschwill, Erras – Becker, Remberg, Gigovich, Knudsen, Porat – Skrzybski, Pichler.

Union Berlin

Germany

Current form

Union has stood out for its pragmatic approach at the start, and in the game the team clearly relies on clear actions in defense. In six rounds, the Berliners have scored only six goals, but are in seventh place in the table. A victory today will allow them to rise straight to fifth place. Breaking through the defense of Bo Svensson charges is not an easy task, since the team has conceded only four goals. The Union players left for the international break in high spirits, since they beat the formidable Borussia Dortmund on their home field (2:1). In defense, we note defender Diego Leita, who is everywhere and is good at tackling.

Disqualifications and injuries

Juranovic and Stein will not play today due to injuries. Tusar appearance on the field is in doubt.

Interesting trends for betting

Union are unbeaten in six of their last seven Bundesliga matches
In three of the Berliners' previous five matches, there was no exchange of goals

Estimated line-up : Rennow - Duki, Vogt, Leyte - Trimmel, Khedira, Schaefer, Rothe - En, Hollerbach, Vertessen.

Tip and bets

1.6"Union" with a handicap (0)

Holstein have been winless since the start of the season and it is unlikely that this streak will be broken today. The hosts try to play open and bold football, but such tactics lead to constant failures in defense. Union plays well against such bold teams, which could be seen, for example, in the meeting with Hoffenheim, the Berliners have no problems with implementation. We believe that precisely due to a more reliable game in defense, the guests can count on three points today.

Our prediction is Union victory with an Asian handicap (0) at odds of 1.60

2.14Union IT goals are more than 1.5

Bet on total

Union have scored only six goals since the start of the season, but have scored twice in their last two victories against Hoffenheim and Borussia Dortmund. We think it won't be difficult for the visitors to score at least two goals against modest Holstein today.

The second bet is the individual total of goals for Union over 1.5 with odds of 2.14

Betting on offsides

Note that Holstein have not lost due to offsides in four of their last five matches. Based on these statistics, we recommend another betting option.

Prediction: Holstein will not lose due to offsides with odds of 1.67
