Wehen vs Karlsruher Prediction & Betting tips
In many German football stadiums goes in plays of the respective home teams in the first three professional leagues powerful from the post. In search of exceptions, we have found in particular in Wiesbaden. The BRITA Arena, which opened in 2007 and has almost 13,000 seats, may at first glance be a small jewel box in the Hessian state capital, but it certainly is not a place of total volume escalation. Last year just over 3,000 spectators attended the home games of SV Wehen-Wiesbaden in the third division and did not even create a breathtaking atmosphere.
In the second league, this is now to improve significantly, although due to renovation work a maximum of 8,000 people will find space. For the first home game of the new season on Sunday, only 5,500 tickets have been sold; 2,000 of them to the guests of the KSC. Perhaps the “missing” home advantage is also responsible for the fact that the bookmaker before the game Wiesbaden vs.. Karlsruhe according to their quotas have made no real favorites.
Already in the last league season, the team of coach Rüdiger Rehm collected six defeats in front of home crowd and thus just as many as in a foreign country. The guests from the wildlife park even became the best away team in the third-highest German league and only lost twice in 19 cases. Because the Schwartz team has also increased significantly in the summer and even invested as the only climber money to supplement the squad, we believe that the KSC is better prepared for the tasks in the lower house than the still inexperienced Hesse, which also have to integrate a lot of new entries from lower leagues. In our view, between Wiesbaden and Karlsruhe therefore a prognosis on the away success is more obvious.
Wiesbaden:
If we give credit to the betting odds of the bookmakers before the start of the season in the second division, SV Wehen-Wiesbaden is considered one of the hottest candidates for the immediate return to league three. Already the rise was strictly speaking a small miracle, because at the latest after the 1: 2-defeat in the relegation play in front of native scenery against the FC Ingolstadt the Hessen maximally still outsider chances were granted. Thanks to a strong performance in the second leg, which was crowned with a 3-2 success, the Red-Black-Golden are now back in the lower house after ten years of abstinence.
Coach Rüdiger Rehm, who once crashed at his first coaching stage in the second division at Arminia Bielefeld, sat on his personal second attempt largely on the backbone of the past season. Nevertheless, with the experienced veteran Markus Kolke or Alf Mintzel two absolute opinion leaders and supports have left the club. Also Niklas Schmidt, who made in the relegation even on the offensive foreign position for furore, returned after a one-year loan back to SV Werder Bremen.
In return, primarily young talents were obliged to take the next step in the Hessian state capital. Only Benedikt Röcker (Bröndby), Michael Niemeyer (Magdeburg) and Marvin Ajani (Hallescher FC) could provide immediate relief. The bottom line is that the SVWW still lacks experience at the second division level. Exactly this could prove to be the start of the problem area. We would therefore waive between Wiesbaden and Karlsruhe on a tip in favor of the hosts and instead give the Badeners better chances.
As mentioned briefly in the introduction, the protégés of coach Rüdiger Rehm made in the past promotion season, especially in the domestic Brita Arena unfamiliar dropouts. Although the Wehener in the end, the third best home team in the league, however, collected the Taunussteiner in the sum at home only five points more than relegation-prone teams such as Meppen or 1860 Munich.
Six matches in front of their own fans were lost. In addition, Manuel Schäffler and Co. scored just under a third fewer goals in the home arena than in foreign countries. As a particularly home strong, the red-black-golden, therefore, have not appeared. At least the dress rehearsal was a success, as during a fan day Boavista Porto was defeated 3-0 in the Brita Arena at the official season opening.
Due to injury, Schönfeld, Schwadorf and Wachs will be out on Sunday afternoon. Otherwise, Coach Rehm can draw on the full. We expect a rather defensive set Wehen Elf, which will put their focus on the quick switching game after ball profit. Due to the circumstances mentioned above, we consider a home victory of the climber to be rather unlikely, which is why we have to face the opening match between Wiesbaden vs. Wiesbaden. Karlsruhe should examine the odds on the double chance X / 2 or even the on the away win with draw no bet hedge more exactly.
Karlsruhe:
Only two years after relegation, the Karlsruher SC has again arrived in the second highest German league. Failed the 2017/2018 still in the relegation to Erzgebirge Aue Baden, it was enough in the last season for second place and the associated direct promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga. Some players of the traditional club from the game park have already gained experience in this league and should therefore be better prepared for the task than the players of the upcoming opponent from Wiesbaden.
The fact that there is just the second league kick-off reunion with the co-climber, has quite a “taste”, as one likes to say in the south of Germany. At the last clash on March 31 this year in the context of the 31st matchday in league three, KSC sports director Oliver Kreuzer made serious allegations against Rüdiger Rehm. The coach of the SVWW reportedly treated his colleagues at the Karlsruhe bank, Alois Schwartz, with insulting and disrespectful acts during the 90 minutes.
Even if the 40-year-old subsequently rejected all allegations, on Sunday we will certainly look very closely at how the persons involved behave in the direct encounter. The question of whether this scandal of four months ago has an influence on which Wiesbaden vs.. Karlsruhe If you finally decide, we would leave unanswered at this point. However, the guests will not lack motivation.
In contrast to the other climbers, who committed exclusively free-of-charge players, the persons in charge of the KSC took money into their hands to strengthen their own squad. King transfer is certainly Marko Djuricin of the Grasshoppers from Zurich, which Oliver Kreuzer cost € 300,000. Lukas Fröde (Duisburg), Grozurek (Sturm Graz) and Phillip Hofmann (Braunschweig) are also hoping for a lot in the game park.
Another argument that justifies a prognosis on the guest between Wiesbaden and Karlsruhe, is the outstanding outlook of the past season. The Germans did not only score three more points away from home than in their home country, but also conceded only twelve goals in 19 matches (top score!). Only in two games on the opponent’s place moved the proteges of Alois Schwartz the short straw (ten wins, seven draws). It is to be expected that this great yield will have a positive effect on the self-confidence of the Blue-Whites. With the exception of Martin Röser, all men are on board. The second-league coach, who is about to renew his contract in Nordbaden, is spoiled for choice.
