Karlsruhe have regularly broken through opposing defences in their most recent fixtures, having scored 12 goals in their last 6 matches.

ℹ️ Team News: Darmstadt

Adrian Stanilewicz (Abdominal Influenza) and Ensar Arslan (Thigh Problems) won’t be playing for Darmstadt gaffer Torsten Lieberknecht.

In all likelihood, Darmstadt look set to make use of the 4-4-2 formation this time, handing starts to Marcel Schuhen, Matthias Bader, Patric Pfeiffer, Thomas Isherwood, Fabian Holland, Tim Skarke, Klaus Gjasula, Tobias Kempe, Marvin Mehlem, Phillip Tietz and Luca Pfeiffer.

We reckon that Karlsruhe appear most likely to utilise a 4-5-1 system, starting the game with Marius Gersbeck, Ricardo van Rhijn, Marco Thiede, Daniel O'Shaughnessy, Philip Heise, Lucas Cueto, Jerome Gondorf, Christoph Kobald, Marvin Wanitzek, Fabian Schleusener and Philipp Hofmann.
