WURZBURGER KICKERS VS KARLSRUHER PREVIEW & PREDICTION
While in the 1st and the 2nd Bundesliga the game mode is due to the international break, is in the 3rd League on the weekend of the 31st matchday. On Saturday afternoon, the two current second division relegated players meet in the flyeralarm Arena. The table Ninth Würzburger Kickers receives the third in the table from Karlsruhe. The KSC is in the middle of the promotion race and wants to distance itself from his pursuers from Wiesbaden and Cologne. At the same time the Baden want to keep the connection to leaders Paderborn and the runner-up from Magdeburg in order to possibly still be able to avoid the unloved relegation. If the KSC also loses at Dallenberg, the team of coach Alois Schwartz is unbeaten for 20 games in a row. That would be setting the club record from the 2012/13 season. In contrast, the Würzburgers stand in the no-man’s-land of the table and presented themselves to be strangely lifeless in the last few weeks.
Würzburger Kickers:
After 29 games completed Würzburg is with 40 points in ninth place in the table. Both ascent and descent, the kickers will have nothing to do anymore. With 22 points from 15 games, the Franks are only ranked 15th in the home table. In the domestic flyeralarm Arena the FWK conceded 22 goals, which is the worst value in the 3rd league. However, it has been much better recently: At home, the Kickers are unbeaten in nine games. Six home games were won by the FWK. Of the last six games, the Kickers could win only one (1-0 against Osnabrück). In the nine games of the year 2018, there were three wins, three draws and three defeats for the Franks. In this period, the team of coach Michael Schiele could only achieve nine goals. Only in two games you shot more than one goal. In the Rothosen defender Maximilian Ahlschwede returns to yellow card suspension back into the squad.
Karlsruhe:
The KSC series is taking on ever more impressive features. The Karlsruher have been undefeated for 19 games. During this time, there were six draws and 13 victories. With eight wins and three draws, the Baden are by far the best back round team. In the eleven games of the back series you only had to concede five goals, this is League standings. Overall, the Karlsruher with 22 goals against the best defensive of the 3rd league. Even in the local wildlife park, the Karlsruhe are a power. In 15 home games, they had not yet beaten and conceded only six goals. Away, the second division relegated, however, is not quite as excellent on the road. In 15 games in foreign countries you could “only” four times the full three points retract. There are also six draws and five defeats. But for nine away games, the Baden are unbeaten. Five of the last six away games against teams of the top half could win Karlsruhe. Except for the not yet fully recovered Andreas Hofmann Schwartz in Würzburg all players are available. Defender David Pisot returns to his old workplace.
PREDICTION: Over 1.5 goals @ 1.46
