Karlsruher SC
Every team has ups and downs during the season, and now it's Karlsruher SC’s turn. They started the season superbly, going unbeaten in nine straight matches.
However, that series ended recently, with the team suffering back-to-back defeats against Hertha Berlin (1-3) and Hannover 96 (2-1). Now they must bounce back against Preussen Munster, and I am sure they will take their opponents seriously after they beat the heavy favorites Fortuna Dusseldorf last week.
Karlsruher SC’s recent games were mostly high-scoring, with five of their last six matches ending with 3+ goals. They conceded twice or more in five of those six, so they are going through a rough period.
This game probably comes at a good time, right before the two-week international break, so a win would certainly restore their confidence.
Karlsruher SC may have lost the last home match against Hertha Berlin, but they were unbeaten in four at home before that game, winning three in a row and drawing once.
Regarding duels against Preussen Munster in recent years, Karlsruher SC has remained unbeaten in five of the last six against them, winning each of the last three.
Preussen Munster
After failing to win four games in a row, Preussen Munster achieved a shocking 1-0 home win against Fortuna Dusseldorf last week. No one could have predicted that result, and even their coach was surprised but pleased after the game.
Last week’s unexpected win lifted Preussen Munster above the relegation zone, but depending on this and other games, they might fall right into it.
Huge surprises happen in football, but not often. So far, Preussen Munster has proved to be one of the weakest sides, so remaining in the 2.Bundesliga at the end of the season would be a major achievement.
So far, Preussen Munster has only won against cellar-dwellers Jahn Regensburg in five away games, lost the other three, and drawn once.
Another fact about their games is that all three of their most recent matches ended with under 2.5 goals scored.
The Betting Verdict
Despite losing twice in a row, Karlsruher SC is a much better team overall than Preussen Munster. They also played excellently in most of their games. Remember, they went unbeaten for nine straight matches this season before losing their last two.
Preussen Munster is breathing easily after unexpectedly winning against Fortuna Dusseldorf last week, and I expect them to defend in this game. A point would suit them just fine.
Karlsruher SC has the pressure, and I think they will respond as expected. They are still one of the dark horses for Bundesliga promotion, and they have a good team, so back them to win this match.
The Pick :
Karlsruher SC 2-0 Preussen Munster
