THE PREDICTION
Holstein Kiel will still be on cloud nine after knocking Champions League winners Bayern Munich out of the DFB Cup on Wednesday, where they equalised in stoppage time and then triumphed on penalties. It is back to the bread and butter of the league now, and there is always a risk of ‘after the Lord Mayor’s show’ in these situations. That is certainly a danger against Karlsruher SC, who travel to Kiel on the back of two wins. KSC’s results have tended to come in waves this season - they started off the campaign with three straight defeats, won four on the trot over November and December, then lost three before their most recent back-to-back victories. They can normally be relied on for goals though, scoring in each of their last 12 league games. With Kiel keeping just one clean sheet in their last seven at home, Both Teams To Score is the most appealing market here.
