Karlsruher vs Hamburger SV Prediction & Betting tips
It will probably stay that way forever that the relegation between KSC and HSV will have an effect when these two teams meet again. It will be the same on Monday when the last second division game of 2020 will be played. The fans in particular will not forget the memorable games in summer 2015.
Hamburgers are the favorite with the best bookmakers. This is also due to the fact that the Hanseatic League has not lost to Baden since 2012. The KSC even celebrated their last league win over HSV in February 2009, when both clubs were still playing together in the Bundesliga. The home side will do everything possible to break this streak on Monday.
In the table of the second Bundesliga, the Rothosen are in the promotion zone. If you win, you will definitely go back to a direct promotion position. If the competition should fail in their second division games, it would even be possible to jump to the top and Hamburg would be Christmas champions. That should be enough motivation to predict a guest victory in the duel between Karlsruhe and HSV.
The Karlsruhe, however, are only just above the relegation places. There is still a cushion, but it is not suitable for resting. With a win on Monday you could spend a relaxed Christmas with the Badeners, one point remains the minimum goal. But our tendency is to place a tip on the guests in the game between Karlsruhe and HSV.
Karlsruhe:
When the KSC meets HSV, the legendary relegation of current games is almost overshadowed. At the moment, it is more about the personel Philipp Hofmann, who almost landed in the Hanseatic city in the summer and is now also being traded as a newcomer on the Elbe in winter. Against this background, the attacker is likely to be particularly motivated against his possible new employer.
For Baden, however, the three points in this game will have to come first. After an intermediate high, it now seems to be going a bit downhill again. Most recently, Christian Eichner’s team suffered two defeats in a row and must continue to deal with the relegation zone. This is one of the reasons why it seems advisable to deal with the odds on an away win between Karlsruhe and HSV.
On Thursday the KSC suffered a sensitive bankruptcy during the guest performance in Aue. In the end, after the 1: 4, the people of Baden left the pitch like beaten dogs. It was KSC that actually had the better team for 90 minutes. On the defensive, however, not much went together and so Benjamin Goller’s goal was nothing more than a consolation goal.
Christian Eichner’s team wants to wipe out this notch on Monday. It is conceivable that this very starting line-up will be given confidence again. In general, the KSC coach has numerous options, because at the moment it looks like all Karlsruhe players should be able to play in the last game before Christmas.
HSV :
Toni Leistner could be the man who will be important for HSV on Monday. The central defender has never lost to KSC and should be the talisman of Hamburg. During the times in Dresden and Union Berlin, Leistner played six games against Karlsruhe. Four wins and two draws are the proud record.
The central defender will not be able to fix it alone. He and his teammates have now recovered after a very weak phase with five games without a win. After two wins in a row, the performance curve of the Hanseatic League is clearly pointing upwards again. Therefore, the tested betting offices in the duel between the KSC and the HSV give a forecast on the guests.
On Tuesday, the Rothosen had SV Sandhausen as a guest in the Volkspark. It was a strange game in which SVS was the better team, but HSV scored the goals. Once again, goal machine Simon Terodde was there with a double pack. Amadou Onana with his first second division and Josha Vagnoman brought the 4-0 to the scoreboard.
Despite the high victory there is still room for improvement in the Hanseatic League. Still, there aren’t many reasons to change the formation. Rick van Drongelen is the only player to be found on the second division injury list. There are still question marks behind the sick Stephan Ambrosius and Bakery Jatta (adductors).
