Karlsruher SC

Karlsruher SC is level on 15 points with Kaiserslautern, losing only once in their eight 2.Bundesliga matches so far. They drew 3-3 against Dynamo Dresden in the last game, so they have a higher imperative now.

Interestingly, Karlsruher SC played a friendly game against the Bundesliga side SC Freiburg during the international break, losing that game 0-7 at home. That should keep them alert enough for this 2.Bundesliga game.

Regarding home displays, Karlsruher SC has won all their four home games this season, so they are the favorites to win in this match.

Kaiserslautern

Kaiserslautern has many reasons to be satisfied with what has been achieved so far. They collected 15 points from eight games, which is an improvement from the last 2.Bundesliga season, when they had only 9 at this point.

Impressively, they won all four home games, including their last match, 3-2 against VfL Bochum, but are still not that convincing on the road. Matter of fact, they lost 3 of 4 away matches, which is a serious problem.

Goals are to be expected in Kaiserslautern’s games, with five of their last six 2.Bundesliga matches ending with over 2.5 goals.

The Betting Verdict

All the last six duels between these sides were even – two wins for Karlsruher SC, two for Kaiserslautern, and two draws.

Both teams are among the dark horses for Bundesliga promotion this season, and this is a tricky game for backing an outright winner.

That makes our focus shift to goals, and considering how they play, both should have no trouble scoring in this match at fair odds.

The Pick :

Karlsruher SC 1-1 Kaiserslautern

FIXED ODDS BETTING :

Take both teams to score: YES at odds of 1.50 at Bet365
