Bundesliga fixture kicks off at 17:30 BST on Friday, 16 October 2026, and you can make your call on Holstein Kiel vs Hertha BSC before the whistle.
Holstein Kiel vs Hertha BSC kicks off at 17:30 BST on Friday, 16 October 2026, in the 2. Bundesliga, with Holstein Kiel at home in Kiel.
On recent evidence, no. Hertha BSC have scored two or more in 6 of their last 6, winning all six for 18 points, and Holstein Kiel have kept no clean sheets across their own last six matches in that time.
Kiel's six reads won 1, drew 2, lost 3 - five points, six scored, eight conceded. They lost 0-1 away to Eintracht Braunschweig on 9 October, seven days before this one. Before that came a 1-1 draw at home with VfL Osnabrück, a 0-1 defeat away to 1. FC Heidenheim and a 2-2 at home with 1. FC Nürnberg. They have failed to score in three of the six. At home, one win in three.
The number does come with a crack in it, though. Hertha have conceded ten goals in those six wins and kept no clean sheets either, and both sides have scored in all six. Nobody has shut them down, but nobody has been shut out by them. Stefan Leitl's side beat SpVgg Greuther Fürth 2-1 at home on 11 October, five days before this match, after winning 2-1 at SG Dynamo Dresden, 3-1 at VfL Osnabrück, 2-1 at home to 1. FC Magdeburg and 5-3 at Eintracht Braunschweig. Away from home, four wins from four.
