Paderborn vs Karlsruher Prediction & Betting tips
Because several positive cases occurred at Hannover 96 and the match in Kiel had to be canceled as a result, on Friday evening in the 2nd Bundesliga the full focus is on the only match of the day between SC Paderborn and Karlsruhe. According to the odds of the best bookmakers, the home side are the favorites in the game, even though the KSC is traveling to East Westphalia with an impressive series in their luggage.
Paderborn:
At SC Paderborn, a lot revolves around Steffen Baumgart’s personnel at the moment. The popular coach’s contract expires at the end of the season. While the East Westphalia would like to expand the working paper, the ex-professional has developed a reputation in the recent past that definitely allows him to play for time and explore other potential options. In any case, talks about further cooperation should only be started when the league is finally secured.
The sports club came a good deal closer to this mission last Monday, because the 2-0 away win at FC St. Pauli increased the lead over the relegation ranks to a whopping eleven points. Given that they are twelve points behind third place, a carefree and boring remaining round is in front of the bottom of the table, who also represents the personified mediocrity in the second division with his record of nine wins, nine defeats and seven draws.
Karlsruhe :
The Karlsruher SC is currently struggling a little with the increased expectations in the environment. Started with the goal, unlike in previous years, to have nothing to do with the relegation battle, the Baden team are still in the race for the top three places around ten game days before the end of the season. Nevertheless, the disappointment after the last two zero numbers at home against Braunschweig and St. Pauli was definitely noticeable.
Instead of reducing the gap to a direct promotion position to one point, it is still five points up. It is all the more important for the former first division club to return to the road to success on Friday evening and, above all, to shift up a gear aggressively. In four of the last six second division games, Hofmann and Co. were without a goal of their own. Looking back on these six encounters, there were only four hits in total.
