Holstein Kiel vs Hertha BSC — Tips & Analysis

Over 3.25: Goals have followed Hertha all season, and that is the main reason we want the busier game. They have won all seven league games for 21 points and a +11 goal difference. Their away trips have been loud, 3-1 at Osnabrück and 5-3 at Braunschweig. Eight of Hertha's last 12 games had 3 or more goals. Kiel are the other end of the table, bottom on 4 points from seven games and still without a league win. Their home games are not quiet, though. Their three home league games this season finished 1-1, 2-2 and 2-2, so two of the three ended with four goals. Kiel also look thin at the back. Lasse Rosenboom, Frederyk Roslyng, Hamza Muqaj and Taisei Abe are all expected to miss out. Hertha score almost 2 goals a game and let in more than one, so they do not shut up shop either. Kiel have had seven days of rest to Hertha's five, and a bottom side chasing a first home win will push forward. The honest part is the margin. The likeliest single score is a 1-2 Hertha win, which leaves this one needing a fourth goal. Kiel have tied three of their five home games, and none of their last 12 games reached 5 goals, so a tighter night is well in play. We still want the goals here.
