Nurnberg vs Karlsruher Prediction & Betting tips
In the 2nd Bundesliga, a regular game day is on the program again this coming weekend. Unlike the previous week, we can therefore look forward to three exciting duels on Friday evening. One of these encounters will take place in the Max Morlock Stadium on Valznerweiher. 1. FC Nürnberg welcomes Karlsruhe. According to the odds, the home side go into the game as favorites.
The fact that the best bookmakers have raised the prices for the home win bit by bit in the last few days is primarily due to the previous game day. While the Franks had to be satisfied with a flattering 2-2 draw in St. Pauli on Monday evening, the KSC celebrated a real break in the 3-0 win against Sandhausen.
On the fourth match day, the Baden team not only scored their first points on the credit side, but also celebrated a goal for the first time in the new second division season. With their self-confidence, the Eichner-Elf now also wants to take something countable from the “Club”.
However, a forecast of the number of goals between Nuremberg and Karlsruhe is more interesting. In view of the fact that the home side has so far found it very difficult to score against compact defenders and exactly such a task will be waiting for the Klauß-Elf on Friday, we tend to have a match before kick-off with a maximum of two hits will fall.
Nuremberg:
1. FC Nürnberg is absolutely great! At least when it comes to losing guided tours! The Franconians were already ahead four times in the still young season, and only once did they win after 90 minutes.
It was only last Monday that it became clear once again that the “Club” is currently performing significantly better when the scoreboard shows a draw. In the difficult away game at FC St. Pauli, coach Robert Klauss’s protégés took the lead both 1-0 and 2-1. In the respective episode, however, the 1st FCN was too passive and therefore could not complain about the 2-2 final result.
In general, last year’s Nagelsmann assistant Robert Klauß has so far failed to provide evidence to raise the team to a significantly higher level. Five points after four games are not a catastrophically bad, but also not a particularly good result.
Those responsible around ex-HSV trainer Dieter Hecking caused even greater headaches, however, by the fact that the Franks have so far almost exclusively become dangerous after switching moments. From the game, the 1. FCN is finding it extremely difficult. As a result, from a purely tactical point of view, it makes sense to make a prognosis on Friday between Nuremberg and Karlsruhe that the home side will again have problems against a rather low KSC defense.
We consider a similar course of play to the only win against Sandhausen to be realistic. Even then, the clubs largely neutralized each other before Lukas Mühl pushed a header over the line in the 77th minute to make the final 1-0 result. The talented central defender could return to the team on Friday after missing on Monday due to an infection. Behrens, Misidjan and Besong are definitely not available.
Karlsruhe:
Taking a deep breath was announced last weekend at Karlsruher SC. After three defeats in the first three match days, in which also not a single goal was scored, the Baden team finally turned back on the winning track at home against SV Sandhausen. Thanks to two early goals by Phillip Hofmann (3rd) and Dominik Kother (30th), the Eichner-Elf laid the foundation for the 3-0 victory that was ultimately deserved in the first round.
The men from the wildlife park should not rest on the first three, especially since the blue-whites in the table of the 2nd Bundesliga are still on the penultimate place and urgently need to score points in order not to lose touch with the top positions early.
Although coach Christian Eichner’s protégés were able to regain some self-confidence with their first win of the season, it can be assumed on Friday evening that the German champions of 1909 will once again choose a more defensive approach. So far, the defense around keeper Gersbeck can not be made a major reproach. Only at the start in Hanover did the former Herthan concede more than one goal.
In view of the well-functioning work against the ball as well as the often lack of penetration in the attack, it makes sense to place a tip on the Under 2.5 between Nuremberg and Karlsruhe. In three out of four KSC games, a corresponding bet would have been crowned with success. In general, the three-goal mark was only cracked in seven of 20 competitive games under the direction of Christian Eichner.
On Friday, the young coach can also draw on the full potential. Only Hanek, who is badly injured in his knee, is not available. After the good performance against the SVS, great changes are not to be expected anyway.
