Holstein Kiel vs Schalke 04: match statistics
Schalke 04 displays significantly better form and league position (2nd place) compared to Holstein Kiel (13th place). The visitors are characterized by a high percentage of clean sheets away (55%) and a solid defence, conceding an average of only 0.73 goals per away match. Holstein Kiel is going through a weaker period, winning only once in their last five matches, resulting in a low PPG (0.8). Schalke has a positive away goal difference (+4) and a higher win rate (45% of away matches won), while the hosts win only 40% of their home matches. The xG statistics also speak in favour of Schalke, who have a better balance between attack and defence. Considering all factors, I expect an away win, although a draw cannot be ruled out due to relatively balanced shooting and possession statistics.
