Holstein Kiel vs Bayern Munich Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 14th September 2024

Round 3 of the new Bundesliga campaign will see Holstein Kiel play host to last season’s top 3 finishers Bayern Munich on Saturday.

A look at the Bundesliga standings shows that six points and 14 places currently separate the two teams.

Bayern Munich have delivered a perfect opening to the season so far, and they will be gunning for maximum points when they enter the third match of the season.

It is early days yet, anything can happen and both Holstein Kiel and Bayern Munich are still highly motivated of getting off to a good start. They both have talented squads, and we expect a cracking affair at Holstein Stadion as the teams look to get one over each other.

Holstein Kiel go into their next Bundesliga match, scoring a humble average of one per game in their last two matches. They scored a mundane two times, while conceding five. That amounts to an average of 2.5 per game, where they kept their opponents from scoring zero times.

Bayern Munich show off splendid stats in their last ten matches, where they hit the target 2.1 times on average per game. They scored 21 goals and conceded 16, an average of 1.6 a game. They held on for a clean sheet in three of these.

This is the first time Holstein Kiel squares up against Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga in the 21st century, thus both face a whole new experience of coming up against an unknown opponent.

Holstein Kiel vs Bayern Munich Prediction

Holstein Kiel Form

Holstein Kiel have been a bit bleak in their last three matches, although it opened with a 1-2 victory against Hannover 96. Unable to follow that up, they went down 3-2 against Hoffenheim, before handing over another win to Wolfsburg in a 0-2 defeat. Holstein Kiel did not win any of their last six Bundesliga matches at the Holstein Stadion. They came through these matches with a record of one draws and two defeats, in which they conceded six and scored nine goals.

The big goal of the season for Bayern Munich has to be winning the title, with a place inside the top two expected as the Bundesliga action starts to unfold.

Bayern Munich Form

Bayern Munich are in awesome shape going into this next encounter, as they won their last three matches on the bounce. Ulm got left behind in a 0-4 win, before Wolfsburg got hammered in a 2-3 victory. Freiburg was the most recent victim in a 2-0 win for Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich managed a decent return of three wins in their last six Bundesliga away matches, in which they scored 18 while also conceding 15 times. They also experienced zero draws and three defeats.

Anything lower than at least a second place finish would probably be considered a disappointment for Bayern Munich, as they look to build a title challenge.

We don't expect Holstein Kiel to pull off a surprise, and with goals flowing freely, they could be in for a hammering against strong looking Bayern Munich.
