How Hamburg might line up to take on Karlsruhe
Karlsruhe go into this match following on from a 1-0 Bundesliga 2 win as they beat Greuther Furth in their last game. From our viewpoint, Karlsruhe appear most likely to make use of a 3-5-2 system, starting Max Weiß, Christoph Kobald, Robin Bormuth, Marcel Beifus, Rafael Pinto Pedrosa, Leon Jensen, Nicolai Rapp, Marvin Wanitzek, Dzenis Burnic, Louey Ben Farhat and Bambasé Conté.
Karlsruher manager Christian Eichner has to currently contend with reduced team options. Sebastian Jung (Adductor injury), Luca Pfeiffer (Foot surgery) and Efe Kaan Sihlaroglu (Knee surgery) can’t be considered.
