When Union Berlin come to Holstein Stadion for the Bundesliga match on Sunday, Holstein Kiel will be hoping to use their home advantage to their advantage.

Holstein Kiel are placed 17th with two points after six matches. Union Berlin occupy a position as sixth in the league on 11 points.

We are bound to see an exciting game this coming Sunday as both Holstein Kiel and Union Berlin are looking to add some much-needed points to their respective accounts.

Holstein Kiel go into their next Bundesliga match, scoring a humble average of 1.4 per game in their last six matches. They scored a mundane nine times, while conceding 19. That amounts to an average of 3.1 per game, where they kept their opponents from scoring zero times.

Union Berlin are currently decent goalscorers, as they managed a bearable 13 goals in the past ten outings for an average of 1.3 goals a game. Their opponents scored a total of 12 goals, and while Union Berlin claimed three clean sheets, they conceded an average of 1.2 goals per match.

Having never played each other in the Bundesliga in the 21st century, this is the first time Holstein Kiel comes up against Union Berlin in this tournament as of late. Thus, any eventual h2h stats stems from meetings in cup matches or friendlies.

Holstein Kiel vs Union Berlin Prediction

Holstein Kiel Form

Holstein Kiel have been too mediocre in their last three matches, where a win has failed to come their way. Against Bochum, they recorded a 2-2 draw, before coming up short against Eintracht Frankfurt, who ran out 2-4 winners. Lately, they recorded another draw in a 2-2 match with Bayer Leverkusen. Holstein Kiel are without a win in their last six Bundesliga matches on home soil, which produced a record of zero draws and three defeats, in which they conceded 12 and scored three goals.

A top half finish is the dream target for Union Berlin, although retaining their Bundesliga status has to be the priority.

Union Berlin Form

Their past three matches saw Union Berlin beating Hoffenheim 2-1, losing 1-0 against Borussia Moenchengladbach, and beating Borussia Dortmund by 2-1. Union Berlin didn't manage a single away win in their last six Bundesliga matches, but managed three draws, while suffering three defeats. They conceded seven and scored three goals themselves.

A top half finish is the dream target for Union Berlin, although retaining their Bundesliga status has to be the priority.

Union Berlin and Holstein Kiel seem to find it tough getting their defensively lines in order, as they both concede too many goals. We hope the trend continues on Sunday, as we aim for both teams to score.

Holstein Kiel fought their way to zero wins and one points from their last three games against teams inside the top six. They were on target five times in these matches, but also let in 12 goals. Holstein Kiel claimed zero wins, two draws as well as four defeats in the Bundesliga this season. Union Berlin have a record of three wins, two draws and one defeat in the Bundesliga.
