THE PREDICTION
Karlsruher SC’s eight-match unbeaten run ended with a 1-0 loss at home to Nurnberg last Sunday, but they have won seven of their last eight away outings. They scored at least two goals in each of those victories but have not kept a clean sheet on the road since November. Hosts Darmstadt 98 lost out to St. Pauli last Saturday but there was at least one positive as top scorer Serdar Dursun ended his goal drought, netting his tenth of the campaign. The Lilies have yet to register a clean sheet in 2021 and are missing a number of defenders for this one, plus the two sides produced a seven-goal thriller when they met in November, so the Over 2.5 Goals market is definitely one to consider here.
