Holstein Kiel vs Wolfsburg Prediction & Betting Tips (31 August)

Holstein Kiel has established itself as one of the rising stars of German football. It must be said that this club was still playing in the Regionaliga 12 years ago and that it has just made several climbs in a few years to the point of taking 2nd place in the ranking, in 2.Bundesliga, last season to make its comeback at the highest level, almost 80 years after his last stint in the elite. Victorious for their first official match played in the German Cup against Alemannia Aachen 2-3, the Storks on the other hand lost their first championship match played against Hoffenheim last week 3-2 despite a good reaction at the end of the match. Opposite, Wolfsburg is obviously much more accustomed to the Bundesliga than its opponent of the day can be but this team still remains in a completely failed exercise during which it even almost scared itself very badly.

Finally, the VfB took 12th place after a disastrous second part of the season, with only 4 units ahead of the red zone. A reaction is therefore expected this year from the Wolves who started with a success in the German Cup 0-1 against Koblenz. Long ahead on the scoreboard against Bayern Munich, they were however overthrown in the second half 2-3 by the Bavarians.

It has become a regular occurrence to see the net bulging at both ends in recent Holstein Kiel home matches in the Bundesliga, with six of their previous eight contests following this formula. Given that nine of the last 13 Wolfsburg away games at this level have also seen neither keeper emerge with a clean sheet, something similar is expected when the two teams meet.
