THE PREDICTION

It is a quick turnaround for Karlsruher SC following their 2-2 draw with Wurzburger Kickers on Friday, their fourth draw in five games and fifth in their last eight at home. They play again on Thursday and then the following Monday, so it is a good job they are not under much pressure, sitting comfortably in mid-table albeit still with a mathematical chance of promotion. Opponents Erzgebirge Aue also have little to play for as the season draws to an end, with Friday’s 2-0 win at Eintracht Braunschweig all but securing their league status. That was their first success on the road since January, and given the number of draws Karlsruher have had lately and the fact that both teams have had little rest, it would not be a surprise to see them settle for a point apiece.
