Karlsruhe

DWWWWW 🔥

Karlsruhe will come into the game following a 4-2 Bundesliga 2 win with the eclipse of Hamburg in their previous outing.

In that game, Karlsruhe had 32% possession and 14 attempts at goal with 8 of them on target. For Karlsruhe, the goals were scored by Paul Nebel (10'), Leon Jensen (17') and Fabian Schleusener (32', 89'). Hamburg got 14 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target.

A succession of resolute performances by the Karlsruhe defence has resulted in their ‘goals against’ tally amounting to 4 from their previous 6 fixtures in total. Over that same period, the number of goals that they have scored themselves is 13. Historical results aside, it remains to be seen whether such a trend will be replicated here in this game.

🗞️ Team News: Heidenheim

Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just the sole fitness concern for the Heidenheim manager Frank Schmidt to be concerned about thanks to an almost full-strength group. Elidon Qenaj (Knee Injury) is out of contention. Denis Thomalla will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

We think that Heidenheim could use the 4-1-4-1 formation for this game and select Kevin Müller, Marnon Busch, Patrick Mainka, Tim Siersleben, Jonas Föhrenbach, Lennard Maloney, Florian Pick, Kevin Sessa, Jan Schöppner, Jan-Niklas Beste and Tim Kleindienst.

📋 Team News: Karlsruhe

Karlsruhe boss Christian Eichner has a number of players out of action. Tim Breithaupt (Ankle Fracture), Efe Kaan Sihlaroglu (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) and Kyoung-rok Choi (Collarbone fracture) can’t be considered.

We believe Karlsruhe appear most likely to begin the game with a 4-4-2 lineup, going with Marius Gersbeck, Marco Thiede, Christoph Kobald, Marcel Franke, Philip Heise, Paul Nebel, Leon Jensen, Jerome Gondorf, Marvin Wanitzek, Mikkel Kaufmann and Fabian Schleusener.

⚡ Prediction

In this match, Karlsruhe should have enough to get a goal against this Heidenheim lineup, however it realistically won’t be as many as the goals that they could concede.

We think that it’s going to be a very close game with a 2-1 advantage for Heidenheim after the 90. Definitely a tough call.
