Heidenheim
- Heidenheim sit 3rd in the 2. Bundesliga 2026/2027 with 9 points from 4 matches.
- They have not played many games under the new coach, but a 5-3 win over Dynamo Dresden in the league and a 1-0 win at Greuther Furth in their last match should have built enough momentum to take on Kiel, who will arrive in Voith-Arena under real pressure.
Holstein Kiel
- Kiel are 16th with 3 points from 4.
- Kiel are coming off a mixed spell of form that has produced 1 win, 3 draws and 1 defeat in their last 5 outings.
- Their most recent games have seen them beat TSV 1860 Munich 2-0 in the Pokal, lose 2-0 to Magdeburg in the league and then draw 2-2 at home to Nürnberg in their most recent league outing.
Head-to-Head
Heidenheim have won 2 of the last 3 meetings between these two, including a 3-1 victory in Bundesliga 2024/2025 .
Key Players
- Holstein Kiel's attacking threat in the 2. Bundesliga 2026/2027 is led by Phil Harres, who has 3 goals in 4 games, 4 in his last 5 and looks the most likely source of a goal for Kiel in their visit to Voith-Arena on Sunday.
- Adrian Kapralik, who has 2 assists in 4 league outings so far, also has a role to play and can help Harres create chances in an offensive system that should suit him.
Betting Insights
- Heidenheim will defend in a compact block and attack at pace on the counter, which is how they catch opponents off guard.
- Kiel will look to overload the centre of the field and try to dominate possession and tempo, so midfield battle could be key.
Prediction
We are therefore going with Yes in the BTTS market at 1.42 , although our preferred way to play the game is Over 2.5 goals at 1.48 as Heidenheim's games have been a little wilder.
