Holstein Kiel vs Kaiserslautern Predictions

• Holstein Kiel kept clean sheets in three of their last four home league games.
• Kaiserslautern failed to win four of their last five competitive matches.
• The home side on the day won both encounters the last time these sides shared a division.

Holstein Kiel can begin their home campaign with a win

After battling to an entertaining 2-2 draw with relegated Furth on the opening day, Holstein Kiel now turn their attention to one of the newly promoted sides, Kaiserslautern. The hosts should be confident of picking up the points here as they are unbeaten at home since March, with all three wins in that time coming without reply.

On the other hand, Kaiserslautern began their 2.Bundesliga campaign with a win, a cracking result for the newly promoted side looking for a foothold in the division. However, they were defeated in their last league visit here on route to a rock bottom finish!

Since winning his first ever personal encounter with Holstein Kiel, Kaiserslautern manager Dirk Schuster has played out seven winless encounters with the coastal outfit (D3, L4).

The final verdict

We are backing Holstein Kiel to inflict further misery upon Dirk Schuster and give Kaiserslautern something of a belated reality check about the quality of opposition in the second tier.

As for the correct score, we are going for a small stakes play on a narrow 1-0 win for the hosts.
