THE PREDICTION

Holstein Kiel secured their long-awaited first win of this season’s 2. Bundesliga last time out, beating Erzgebirge Aue emphatically by three goals to nil. They now will be desperate to back this result up against a Karlsruher SC side desperate to get back on track having failed to win any of their last three league games. With home advantage in their favour, Karlsruher are expected to deploy a largely attacking playstyle, regardless of the risks that poses on the counter-attack against a Holstein Kiel unit injected with a huge boost of confidence and belief. Whilst Holstein will struggle to keep out the hosts at BBBank Wildpark, they are more than capable of finding the net themselves as shown in their last game, therefore backing both teams to score looks to be the smart play in this one.
