Holstein Kiel vs Werder Bremen

Possessing a spot near the bottom of the Bundesliga standings and facing a possibility of relegation Holstein Kiel schedule a confrontation against Werder Bremen at Holstein-Stadion for this Saturday.

Holstein Kiel experienced their third loss of season 19-20 when Heidenheim defeated them 3-1 during March 16 which dropped them to the bottom 18th slot with only 17 points.

The only significant threatening move by the hosts against Heidenheim emerged through their 87th minute opportunity and it marked their tenth occasion of letting in two or more goals in their most recent eleven matches.

Holstein Kiel maintains their offensive abilities because they scored four times in their recent three games and rank first in the bottom group for total goals scored with 38.

Die Storche faces dire circumstances in the Bundesliga because they maintain one of the two positions directly below theRewich this weekend placing third from the bottom with three points behind 16th-placed VfL Bochum yet they trail 15th-placed St Pauli by eight points.

The struggling Marcel Rapp side brings a shrinking position to the game having suffered eight consecutive losses while failing to win any of the previous nine outings.

Since their home matches began Holstein Kiel has failed to secure any wins while playing to two draws and losing two matches which resulted in nine goals against them.

The Werder Bremen team remains puzzled about their defeat to Borussia Monchengladbach because they had six major scoring opportunities although the winning side registered three.

Roundup of defensive performance since their last seven matches has caused concern since the visitors have allowed opponents to score nineteenth times.

In his last encounter with Holstein Kiel, which took place on November 9, head coach Ole Werner did win 2-1, and he deserves recognition for holding his opponents to 12 poor efforts, which came to a total of just 0.6 xG.

The Green-Whites are in bad form; they have lost six of their last seven games and won only one of their last five games, losing the other two.

The team's away record will also worry supporters since, although Werder Bremen defeated Bayer Leverkusen 2-0 in their most recent away game on March 8, they lost four straight games and were held to a draw in one of their past five away games.
