Karlsruher vs VfL Osnabruck Prediction & Betting tips
Gentle breathing in football Germany! On Friday the 3rd league finishes their holidays and with the match between Karlsruhe and Osnabrück the starting shot for the season 2017/2018 falls. This also opens the Top League to the championship the 3rd league, because the experts see the KSC before this season at the top. But also the VfL Osnabrück belongs to the extended circle of advancement candidates. For this reason, tension is pre-programmed directly in the first game. The last duel of the two is not so long ago. In 2013 they met the last time – even in league 3.
Karlsruher :
If Karlsruhe is on Friday in his first mandatory game after the disappointing last season in the 2nd Bundesliga, you will see many new faces. This is not unusual after a descent. All in all, 28 (!) Players left the KSC, including, of course, many power units. For example, the two best scorers of last season Dimitrios Diamantakos and Moritz Stoppelkamp, who scored five and four goals but were not really a good match for VfL Bochum and MSV Duisburg. The twenty-eight departures have 22 entrances, but these were partially committed to a loan, or come from their own youthful ranks anyway.
The test games that Karlsruhe completed were quite positive. There were victories against FK Pirmasens from the Südwest region, the South-West League, Fleetwood Town from the third-highest English league and Eintracht Braunschweig, while the two second-league clubs, Ingolstadt and Duisburg, were defeated. In the last season of the season, Karlsruhe won only five-threes in 34 second-league matches and had only 25 points in a further ten draws and nineteen defeats. The relegation was at an early stage, and the KSC had eleven points behind the relegation place. The goal for the new season is of course the resurgence, but everyone in the club knows that this will be a difficult challenge in a strong 3rd league.
VfL Osnabruck :
The VfL Osnabrück plays almost traditionally in the 3rd league, but it was not enough for the promotion in recent years. In the previous season, Osnabrück finished sixth in the final bill and had nine points behind Jahn Regensburg on the ascent relegation place three. Above all the outward appearances destroyed a possible rise. At home Osnabrück presented itself as a real ascent aspirant and finished fourth in the home table – with only one point less than the second and third best home teams Preußen Münster and Meister Duisburg. On the other hand, Osnabrück had a weak 4-6-9 record at 17:28 goals, which was only sixteenth place in the outback table.
Unlike the Karlsruher SC, the transfers at Osnabrück were limited. A total of seven players left the club, two of them returning to their parent club after a loan. At the gates Osnabrück can report a total of eight players, but four of them are from their own youth or have been called up from the second team. Osnabrück coach Joe Enochs can not be satisfied with the preparations. After a 3-1 success against the amateur team from Voxtrup, there was a 3-0 loss against SC Wiedenbrück from the Regional League West as well as another 3-0 defeat against Werder Bremen.
