Karlsruhe

WDDLDL

Karlsruhe will be looking for an improved result here after a 2-0 Bundesliga 2 defeat in their last game at the hands of Hannover.

In that game, Karlsruhe managed 64% possession and 12 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target. For their opponents, Hannover 96 had 13 attempts at goal with 3 on target. Hendrik Weydandt (25') and Maximilian Beier (93') scored for Hannover.

Matches with Karlsruhe have proved to be lively ones lately with high scoring being a real hallmark. Over their past half dozen games, a grand total of 20 goals have been scored for both sides combined (at an average of 3.33 goals per game) with 9 of them coming from Karlsruhe. That trend isn’t assured to be carried forward into this game, of course.

Their prior results show that Karlsruhe:

• have not registered a win against Dynamo Dresden in their last 2 league matches.
• are unbeaten in their last 5 league matches at home.
• haven’t won at home in the past 4 matches in the league. Their fans aren't happy.

Dynamo Dresden

DLLDDD 📉

In their previous game, Dynamo Dresden drew 1-1 in the Bundesliga 2 match with Regensburg.

In that match, Dynamo Dresden had 53% possession and 11 shots at goal with 3 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Dynamo Dresden was Christoph Daferner (73'). On the other side, SSV Jahn Regensburg got 10 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. Andreas Albers (88') scored for Regensburg.

Dynamo Dresden have had no problems opening up opposition defences in the lead-up to this encounter, scoring 6 times in their previous 6 matches. While their manager Guerino Capretti will no doubt take that as a positive sign, Dynamo Dresden have been somewhat leaky at the back, having also been scored against in 5 of those same clashes.

Coming into this meeting, Dynamo Dresden are without a win away from home in their last 7 league games.

🗞️ Team News: Karlsruhe

Marius Gersbeck (Hand Injury), Sebastian Jung (Cruciate Ligament Rupture), Lazar Mirkovic (Heart Condition), Lucas Cueto (Ankle problems), Leon Jensen (Knee Injury) and Marco Thiede (Torn Ligament) will be missing for Karlsruhe gaffer Christian Eichner.

In all likelihood, Karlsruhe could use a 4-5-1 formation for the game, utilising Niklas Heeger, Jannis Rabold, Daniel Gordon, Christoph Kobald, Philip Heise, Fabian Schleusener, Jerome Gondorf, Tim Breithaupt, Marvin Wanitzek, Kyoung-Rok Choi and Philipp Hofmann.

🗞️ Team News: Dynamo Dresden

Dynamo Dresden boss Guerino Capretti has multiple availability issues to deal with. Patrick Wiegers (Cruciate Ligament Rupture), Kevin Ehlers (Torn Muscle Fibre), Sebastian Mai (Muscle Injury) and Luca Herrmann (Knee Surgery) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

We are inclined to think that Dresden seem most likely to play in a 3-4-1-2 lineup with a starting lineup of Kevin Broll, Michael Sollbauer, Tim Knipping, Chris Loewe, Agyemang Diawusie, Michael Akoto, Paul Will, Guram Giorbelidze, Patrick Weihrauch, R. Koenigsdoerffer and Christoph Daferner.

⚡ Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Dynamo Dresden would be disappointed if they were not to put a goal past this Karlsruhe lineup, although it is unlikely to be as many as they will have scored against them.

We’re going for a close game with a 2-1 winning score for Karlsruhe after the 90. Looking forward to this.
