Holstein Kiel will be looking to pick up three points that will help cement their place in the top half of the second Bundesliga table when they take on St. Pauli this week.
Following last weekend's 2-1 victory over Karlsruher the hosts could secure back to back wins for the fourth time this season, but they will need to overcome their home woes. Kiel have won just six home games this season, the fewest of any team in the top half of the second Bundesliga table. On a positive note for home fans, Kiel have not only remained unbeaten in their last three meetings with St. Pauli, but have not conceded a single goal in that time.
Despite all their efforts this season, it is now clear that St. Pauli, on the other hand, will not manage promotion to the first Bundesliga. With only two games left to play, Fabian Hürzeler's men are six points off the playoff places and also have a weaker goal difference compared to Hamburger.
Holstein Kiel vs St. Pauli Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
To be honest, the visitors have been very good this season. Unfortunately, they have a terrible record against Kiel at Holstein Stadium. St. Pauli have lost each of their last five away games at Holstein, which means they would have to be at their best to take three points from Friday's game.
We'll go for the goals market, as seven of the last ten meetings between these two sides have produced at least three goals and each of the hosts' last seven games have ended similarly.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

Holstein Kiel team news
Since there were no injuries in last weekend's 2-1 win over Karlsruhe, head coach Marcel Rapp is not expected to reshuffle his team that started that game.
Tim Schreiber was unable to play due to a knee injury, and Friday's game will likely come too soon for the 21-year-old goalkeeper.
