Karlsruher SC

Karlsruher SC is a mediocre mid-table 2.Bundesliga team, alternating between winning and losing in recent weeks. They suffered three defeats in the last five matches, including a convincing 3-0 loss to SV Elversberg last weekend.

Last week’s match was their 8th of the last 9 to end with 3+ goals.

Their home form is actually decent – Karlsruher SC is unbeaten in six at home, winning three of their last four 2.Bundesliga matches.

Hannover 96

Hannover 96 probably have the easiest run-in of games of all promotion contenders, as all their opponents are in the lower half. Karlsruher SC, Preussen Munster, VfL Bochum, and Nurnberg await them, and four wins are a must if they want to have a hope of Bundesliga promotion.

They are 4th before this weekend, a point behind the Bundesliga promotion playoff place, which means they also depend on others.

A positive thing for Hannover 96 is that they are undefeated in five games (three draws, two wins), most recently drawing 1-1 to SC Paderborn last week. That was also their fourth straight match ending with under 2.5 goals.

The Betting Verdict

Hannover 96 have been the best away team in 2.Bundesliga this season! They rank first, going unbeaten in 13 of 15 away matches and winning four of their last five.

That makes them massive favourites here, but they have not always responded well to pressure. Interestingly, most of their winless games this season were against teams from the bottom half of the table.

Still, Karlsruher SC is in relaxed mode, safe from relegation worries and away from promotion places, which increases their chances.

Backing Hannover 96 to win is the call here, at nice odds.

The Pick :

Karlsruher SC 0-2 Hannover 96
