Head-to-head statistics Augsburg - Holstein Kiel
Augsburg Team Overview
⚪ Under the guidance of Danish coach Jess Thorup, they have managed just one win in their last five matches. In the recent round, Augsburg suffered a 2-0 defeat away to Bayer Leverkusen. However, the "Fuggerstadters" are in no immediate danger: they sit in tenth place with 43 points, just five points shy of sixth. How ambitious the team is will be revealed in the upcoming game. After facing Holstein, they are set to play against Stuttgart and Union Berlin.
🔝 Augsburg have collected 23 out of a possible 30 points from their 15 home matches. As a result, any team finds it challenging at the WWK Arena.

Holstein Kiel Team Overview
🔵 In the last round, Marcel Rapp's team stunned Stuttgart with a 4-3 victory, overtaking Bochum, who dropped points, and lifting themselves from the bottom of the table. At the "Holstein-Stadion" shootout, Suto Matino scored twice, with Alexander Bernhardsson and Armin Gigovic also finding the net.
🔗 The visitors have shown similar results to Augsburg over the past five matches-one win, two draws, and two losses. Reaching the safety of 15th place seems unlikely for Holstein, as they trail by eight points. However, climbing to 16th place, which is just three points away, and securing their Bundesliga spot via the playoffs is still within reach. Yet, this task remains daunting as they face Borussia Dortmund and Freiburg after Augsburg.

Latest news
Augsburg
❌ Yusuf Kabadai, who has been sidelined for a long time with a knee injury, will miss the home game. Additionally, the participation of young defender Noakai Banks and forward Mergim Berisha is doubtful due to injuries.
Holstein Kiel
🔝 Timon Wener ranks seventh among goalkeepers for the number of saves this season, with 89 to his name. Local fans can only hope he continues to deliver in the remaining matches of the season.
❌ Defenders Marko Ivezić (yellow card suspension) and Ivan Nekić (knee injury) will miss the away game. John Tolkin and Lewis Holtby are also doubtful due to injuries. Patrick Erras, Colin Kleine-Bekel, Marco Komenda, and Andu Jobel Kelati are already ruled out for the rest of the season.
🟨 Prediction on Yellow Cards
Augsburg average 1.6 yellow cards per match, while Holstein Kiel average 1.4, indicating that this game might not be overly aggressive. Therefore, we suggest betting on under 5 yellow cards.
⚽️ Prediction on Goals
In none of their last five home games have Augsburg scored more than one goal, with three of those matches ending in a goalless draw. Similarly, Holstein Kiel have not scored more than once in their last five away fixtures. Considering the current form and recent performances of both teams, we believe that a bet on under 3.5 goals is a reasonable prediction.
🚩 Prediction on Corners
In their last five home matches, the "Fuggers" have earned 19 corners (averaging 3.8 per game), while Holstein Kiel have won 25 corners in their previous five away games (averaging 5 per match). Given that this game holds more significance for the visitors in terms of standings, we anticipate that the hosts will be less attack-minded, resulting in fewer opportunities to earn corners. Thus, we recommend a bet on Augsburg's individual total corners under 5.5.
Editor's Prediction
As previously mentioned, we don't anticipate a goal fest from these teams, but we do believe they will both find the net. With nothing to lose, both sides have every reason to go for it. Our main betting suggestion is on both teams to score (yes), a bet that has hit in 7 of Holstein's last 8 matches. We see a likely final score of 1-1.
