• Holstein Kiel have scored under 1.5 goals in six of their nine Bundesliga home games.
• St Pauli have scored under 1.5 goals in eight of their nine Bundesliga away games.
• Holstein Kiel have won just two of their nine Bundesliga home games this season. 
• St Pauli have failed to win any of their nine Bundesliga away games this season. 

Holstein Kiel’s poor home form

Holstein Kiel will host St Pauli this Monday in German Bundesliga 2 action, where they will attempt to win their second straight Bundesliga 2 fixture. However, they will have to overcome a run of poor home form if they are to earn all three points. 

Holstein Kiel have been one of the Bundesliga 2’s worst sides at home this season. They have earned just 10 points from their nine Bundesliga 2 home games. Only two sides have earned fewer points at home than them in the Bundesliga 2 this season. 

In fact, Holstein Kiel have won just two of their nine Bundesliga 2 home games, with only Hannover having won fewer home games than them going into Monday’s fixture. Meanwhile, they have lost three of their nine Bundesliga 2 home games, drawing four. 

St Pauli’s unimpressive away form 

Despite their poor home form, Holstein Kiel may be given confidence by the poor away record of Monday’s visitors. St Pauli have earned just four points on their travels this season. Only one Bundesliga 2 side have earned fewer points than St Pauli away from home going into Monday’s game.

In addition to that, St Pauli remain one of only two Bundesliga 2 sides who have still failed to win any of their away games this season. They have lost five of their nine Bundesliga 2 away games, drawing the other four. 

This game may deliver a low-scoring contest

On balance, we feel Monday’s fixture is unlikely to produce too many goals. Firstly, Holstein Kiel have scored just 12 goals in their nine Bundesliga 2 home games this season. Only three teams have scored fewer home goals than them going into Monday’s game. Furthermore, Holstein Kiel have scored under 1.5 goals in six of their nine Bundesliga home games this term. 

Meanwhile, St Pauli have scored just eight goals in their nine Bundesliga 2 away games this campaign. Only one Bundesliga 2 side have scored fewer away goals than them going into Monday’s fixture. St Pauli have also scored under 1.5 goals in eight of their nine Bundesliga 2 away games. 

We are therefore backing under 2.5 goals to be scored in this fixture. We also feel neither of these two sides look particularly likely to win this game, so a 1-1 draw is a likely result here.
