Kiel Tagged Warm Favorites
Holstein Kiel looked amazing in the first half of the 2. Bundesliga opening round against Darmstadt last weekend, building a 2-0 lead. However, they conceded two unanswered goals and had to settle for a 2-2 draw here.
It was an unfortunate outcome for them, needing the clash with 1.78-0.85 expected goals, and 6-3 shots on target. Jonas Meffert missed a great opportunity to seal victory just before Darmstadt scored an equalizer.
Holstein Kiel didn’t play an important role in 2. Bundesliga last season, finishing in 12th place with 41 points after 34 rounds, just four points above the red zone.
St Pauli Hoping for an Express Return to the Top Flight
Like their upcoming opponents, St Pauli also had a lead in the opening round against Greuther Furth, Marcus Mathisen breaking the deadlock right after the break, but ultimately won just a point in a 1-1 draw.
The Neighborhood Kickers had good results in pre-season, recording victories against Altona 6-2, Emden 3-1, Babelsberg 4-1 and GOrica 2-1, while losing just one encounter against AFC Bournemouth 4-1.
They competed in Bundesliga in the previous campaign but finished last with 26 points after 34 rounds, scoring just 29 goals. New head manager Marcel Rapp was appointed earlier this summer with a goal to help them regain elite status.
