THE PREDICTION
These two sides go into this encounter on the same number of points with similar records from the first 11 matches of the season. Erzgebirge Aue have lost just one of their five home league games this season, although it was their most recent one. Opponents Karlsruher SC’s four-match winning run ended with a 2-1 defeat at home to Fortuna Dusseldorf on Sunday, but three of those four wins came on the road and they have already registered as many away victories this season as they did in the entirety of the previous campaign. However, they have only managed one clean sheet and Aue have failed to find the net in just one of their last 12 league matches at the Erzgebirgsstadion, so Both Teams to Score could be a good option with a winner hard to pick.
