Hertha BSC won their most recent match 0-1 away at Holstein Kiel's own ground, while Holstein Kiel had just lost 0-1 in their previous league game and had just won a friendly 3-1. This match is therefore a meeting between a team pushing up the table and a team that has not won a single league game yet. Holstein Kiel have still not won in their first 7 league matches, picking up only 4 points from 4 draws and 3 defeats, scoring just 7 goals, but their defence has not been that bad, because at home there have been goals in the first half of every one of their last 6 matches. As for Hertha BSC, they have won all 7 league matches, scoring 19 goals and conceding 8, and they have gone 5 matches without defeat, but in the first half of their away games there have been goals in only 5 of 8 matches. What to watch after kick-off is how deep Holstein Kiel will sit, because if they close the middle tightly and do not concede early, this game could drag on, and Hertha BSC, who score 31% of all their goals in the 76th-90th minute, may have to wait for a late moment to break through.
