Holstein Kiel vs Bayern Munich Prediction and Betting Tips | September 14th 2024

The action continues in round three of the German Bundesliga as Holstein Kiel and Bayern Munich square off at the Holstein-Stadion on Saturday. Both sides have had a contrasting start to the season, with Vincent Kompany’s side boasting a 100% record so far.

Holstein Kiel picked up a morale-boosting result during the international break as they edged out Hamburger 1-0 on September 5 courtesy of a Phil Harres’ 57th-minute strike.

Head coach Marcel Rapp will hope their friendly victory can serve as a springboard for a fine run of results as Die Störche turn their attention to the Bundesliga, where they have lost their two matches this season.

Having secured promotion from the second tier last term, Kiel suffered a 3-2 defeat against Hoffenheim in their Bundesliga curtain-raiser on August 24, six days before falling to a 2-0 home defeat against Wolfsburg.

Bayern Munich, on the other hand, made it two wins from their two Bundesliga games just before the international break as they beat Freiburg 2-0 at the Allianz Stadium on September 1.

This followed a hard-fought 3-2 victory over Wolfsburg in the 2024-25 Bundesliga opener at the Volkswagen Arena on August 25.

Bayern head into the weekend on a seven-game winning streak across all competitions, scoring 21 goals and keeping four clean sheets since a 1-1 friendly stalemate against Duren on July 28.
