From their previous sextet of matches before this one, in as many as 5 of them a wager on BTTS would've been a loser.

Karlsruhe
LDLLWW 🌤
Karlsruhe go into this meeting after a 1-0 Bundesliga 2 win over Cologne in their most recent match.
In that match, Karlsruhe had 44% possession and 6 shots on goal with 1 on target. At the other end, Cologne had 11 shots on goal with 5 of them on target. Timo Hübers (52' Own goal) scored for Cologne.
The numbers tell their own story, and Karlsruhe have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, letting opponents get 10 goals overall. At the back, Karlsruhe seem to have a bit of a soft underbelly. Let’s find out if that trend can be sustained in this game.
Their prior results show that Karlsruhe:
- haven't beaten Darmstadt when they have played them away from home in the previous 2 league games.
- are without an away win for the past 3 matches in the league.
👥 Head to head
If we look at their past head to head duels dating back to 26/02/2021, there is nothing to separate the two clubs with Darmstadt winning 2 of those games, Karlsruhe 2 and 2 being drawn after 90 minutes of play.
A total of 20 goals were yielded between them during those clashes, with 9 from Darmstadt and 11 belonging to Karlsruhe. This gives an average number of goals per game equal to 3.33.

That day, Karlsruhe had 43% possession and 13 shots on goal with 5 on target. The scorers were Dženis Burnić (11'), Leon Jensen (28') and Fabian Schleusener (77').
On the other side, Darmstadt got 18 attempts on goal with 8 of them on target. Isac Lidberg (15'), Kai Klefisch (54') and Aleksandar Vukotić (74') scored.

✨ Prediction
We believe that Karlsruhe would be disappointed if they were not to get a goal against this Darmstadt side, although that might not be as many as the goals that they could concede.
We’re predicting a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 victory for Darmstadt at the end of the 90 minutes. There looks to be little in this one.
