Karlsruher SC

Karlsruher SC are in a rough patch. They have lost their last four 2. Bundesliga matches and their defense have been shaky, conceding at least three goals in the last four games.

Their recent matches have been high-scoring affairs, so while they can score, they are also highly vulnerable at the back. Interestingly, all of their last 8 league games ended with three or more goals.

Also, they conceded a whopping 13 goals in their last four straight defeats!

At home, they’ll want to try and stop the slide (two defeats in their last three at home), but confidence is low, and it’s hard to see them suddenly tightening up overnight.

SC Paderborn

SC Paderborn are coming off a disappointing run of their own (three consecutive defeats). After winning four straight at home, they have now lost their last two, including key defensive lapses.

They’ll also be without Calvin Brackelmann, their regular centre-back, who received a red card last week, which weakens their backline further.

That said, they know how to score and can exploit teams that leave gaps — and Karlsruher SC certainly fits that profile right now.

The Betting Verdict

This game is likely to be open and with a few goals. Both sides are struggling defensively, so I expect goals at both ends.

Karlsruher SC might fight hard at home, but SC Paderborn have enough firepower to punish mistakes.

A score draw feels likely, though a narrow SC Paderborn win is also plausible. That aside, my main bet here is to take both sides to score.

The Pick :

Karlsruher SC 1-2 SC Paderborn
