Greuther Furth

DLLDLL ⚠

Greuther Furth enter this match following on from a 0-0 Bundesliga 2 tied result versus Karlsruhe.

It has not been often in recent games where Greuther Furth have kept a clean sheet. The reality is that Greuther Furth have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, giving up 12 goals during that time. That sort of trend isn’t assured to be carried forward into this match, of course.

Analysis of their past results shows that Greuther Furth:

• have not emerged victorious against Karlsruhe in their last 3 matches in the league.
• are without a home win in the past 7 league games. That's never good.

📋 Team News: Greuther Furth

The Greuther Furth boss Marc Schneider has a full complement, with no fitness concerns to speak of coming into this clash thanks to a completely healthy squad to pick from.

It seems likely that Greuther Fürth should use the 4-4-2 formation for this one, handing starts to Andreas Linde, Simon Asta, Sebastian Griesbeck, Oussama Haddadi, Gian-Luca Itter, Timothy Tillman, Max Christiansen, Branimir Hrgota, Julian Green, Armindo Sieb and Ragnar Ache.

ℹ️ Team News: Karlsruhe

Karlsruhe boss Christian Eichner has to currently contend with reduced team options. Lazar Mirkovic (Fitness), Felix Irorere (Torn Muscle Fibre), Christoph Kobald (Ligament Injury), Daniel O'Shaughnessy (Fibula Fracture), Efe-Kaan Sihlaroglu (Cruciate Ligament Rupture), Sebastian Jung (Cruciate Ligament Rupture), Mikkel Kaufmann (Muscular problems), Malik Batmaz (Adductor problems), Kyoung-rok Choi (Back trouble) and Florian Ballas (Pulled hamstring at the adductors) are not ready for selection.

From our viewpoint, Karlsruhe appear most likely to make use of a 4-5-1 lineup, going with Marius Gersbeck, Marco Thiede, Daniel Gordon, Marcel Franke, Philip Heise, Paul Nebel, Jerome Gondorf, Tim Breithaupt, Marvin Wanitzek, Simone Rapp and Fabian Schleusener.

It’s likely that Karlsruhe will surely find it tough to put one past a Greuther Furth lineup who should win well here.
