Karlsruhe

LWLDWL

Karlsruhe will be wanting a better result here after the 1-3 Bundesliga 2 defeat in their last game at the hands of Hamburg.

In that match, Karlsruhe had 48% possession and 21 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. The only player to score for Karlsruhe was Fabian Schleusener (36'). Hamburg got 19 attempts at goal with 8 of them on target. Jean-Luc Dompé (23', 55') and Davie Selke (87') scored for Hamburg.

Karlsruhe haven’t been able to stop scoring goals, finding the back of the net in one hundred percent of their last 6 matches.

They have totted up the amount of 9 during that period while seeing the number of goals scored against them stand at 8. That sort of trend isn’t assured to follow through into this next game, of course.

Augsburg

WWDDLW

Augsburg will go into the encounter after a 1-0 Bundesliga win versus VfL Bochum in their most recent fixture.

In that match, Augsburg managed 53% possession and 16 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. The scorer for Augsburg was Phillip Tietz (38'). On the other side, Bochum got 7 shots on goal with 1 of them on target.

In the course of their 6 latest matches, Jess Thorup's Augsburg have had reason to celebrate scoring 7 times therefore giving them the goals scored per game average of 1.17.

🤜🤛 Head to head

🗞️ Team News: Karlsruhe

Lasse Günther (Adductor pain), Efe Kaan Sihlaroglu (Knee surgery), Robin Bormuth (Cruciate ligament tear) and Christoph Kobald (Inflammation of pubic bone) will be missing for Karlsruhe manager Christian Eichner.

It’s our opinion that Karlsruhe will probably make use of the 4-4-2 formation for this one, handing starts to Max Weiss, Sebastian Jung, Marcel Franke, Marcel Beifus, David Herold, Dzenis Burnic, Leon Jensen, Nicolai Rapp, Marvin Wanitzek, Budu Zivzivadze and Fabian Schleusener.

ℹ️ Team News: Augsburg

Augsburg boss Jess Thorup has a number of players out of action. Robert Gumny (Muscle injury), Reece Oxford (Fitness), Dimitrios Giannoulis (Adductor injury), Mads Pedersen (Groin surgery) and Fredrik Jensen (Groin surgery) can’t be considered.

From our viewpoint, Augsburg might utilise a 3-5-2 formation, choosing Finn Dahmen, Chrislain Matsima, Jeffrey Gouweleeuw, Keven Schlotterbeck, Marius Wolf, Elvis Rexhbecaj, Kristijan Jakic, Frank Onyeka, Henri Koudossou, Alexis Claude and Phillip Tietz.

💡 Prediction

Our feeling is that Augsburg and Karlsruhe could both find themselves scoring on more than one occasion in a potential goal-fest with little between the two teams.

A draw looks like a realistic possibility but, again, we don’t expect it to end goalless. We’re therefore expecting a high-scoring affair with a score draw at full-time.
