THE PREDICTION

Cellar-dwellers Wurzburger Kickers are already eight points from safety in Bundesliga 2 following four successive defeats. Recently appointed coach Bernhard Trares has brought in two experienced players to help their survival bid, although they are unlikely to be ready in time for this one. His team have at least been scoring goals lately, failing to find the net in just one of their last eight league matches, but they have simply been conceding too many. Similarly, Karlsruher SC have scored in each of their last 10 league outings, but have only kept one clean sheet in their last 12 on the road. With both defences looking suspect, Both Teams to Score looks appealing.
