Holstein Kiel vs SC Freiburg Predictions

Go for goals at Holstein-Stadion

Both teams to score has been a winner in Holstein Kiel’s last five Bundesliga games and that looks the best bet when they host Freiburg on Saturday. Both teams have scored in six of Freiburg’s last seven outings.

Freiburg are fourth in the Bundesliga, 13 places and 27 points above Holstein Kiel, who are in the second automatic relegation spot. The hosts have won six of their 32 games this season, while Freiburg have 15 wins from their 32 matches.

Holstein Kiel are in form, aiming for a third straight Bundesliga success, having beaten Monchengladbach 4-3 two weeks ago in their last home game. However, Freiburg come here on the back of two straight away wins and have been successful on four of their last six on the road as they push for a Champions League spot.

Holstein Kiel defied odds of 3/1 to secure a commanding 3-1 win over Augsburg, maintaining their run of matches with both teams scoring.

Holstein Kiel have won five of the 11 games in which they’ve scored first this season (45%), and they opened the scoring in this game to extend that run to five matches.

Both teams have found the net in plenty of Holstein Kiel’s home games this season. Seven of their last nine Bundesliga home games have ended with both sides scoring.

The two sides are in form going forward. Holstein Kiel have scored in eight of their last nine league games, while Freiburg have found the net in their last seven, scoring at least twice in four of those.

There have been over 2.5 goals in six of Holstein Kiel’s last eight Bundesliga matches and a 2-1 win for Freiburg looks like a decent correct-score option. Ten of the visitors’ 15 wins this season have been by a single goal and Holstein Kiel have been on the losing end of that scoreline three times.
