Holstein Kiel
- Kiel have won two, drawn two and lost two of their six home fixtures in the 2. Bundesliga, scoring seven goals at the Holstein-Stadion this season.
- Holstein have won their last two home games, but have had a mixed bag of results with three wins and two defeats in their last five in all competitions.
- Adrian Kapralik is their goal threat with two in ten league games this season, but they have enough to score against any 2. Bundesliga defence on their day.
- The clash of styles here should see a match of chess on the flanks as the hosts try to pinch the ball from Hertha and get the wing-backs forward, which forms the basis for our KSV Holstein Kiel vs Hertha BSC Berlin betting tips.
Hertha BSC Berlin
- Hertha BSC Berlin are in red-hot form, winning their last five 2. Bundesliga matches, including the last three to nil.
- Hertha BSC are seventh in the 2. Bundesliga with 23 points from 13 games, while KSV Holstein Kiel are eleventh with 15 from the same number of fixtures, and this KSV Holstein Kiel vs Hertha BSC Berlin betting tips analysis considers both teams' standings closely.
- Hertha have won three, drawn one and lost only two of their first six away assignments in the 2. Bundesliga, conceding only five goals in total.
Head-to-Head

Key Players
- Alexander Bernhardsson adds the creativity to Kiel’s game with five assists in 13 games, but they are strongest on the counter-attack.
- Fabian Reese is the creative engine of the team with six assists in 13 appearances and Luca Schuler’s three league goals make him a danger up front.
- Adrian Kapralik is their goal threat with two in ten league games this season.
