THE PREDICTION
Bochum continued their fine form with a 3-2 win at St. Pauli on Thursday, which moved them to within one point of leaders Hamburger SV. They had to come from behind, as they have done in four of the last five games - three of which they have ended up winning. Thomas Reis’ men have often been slow starters in games this season but then scored goals late on. Karlsruher SC, in contrast, have struck first in each of their last five games, and held on for the three points in four of those. As well as that, the visitors have had an extra day’s rest ahead of this meeting, meaning they might just be a bit quicker out of the blocks. In summary, backing Karlsruher in the Team To Score First market looks good value here.
