Karlsruher SC form and stats
Overall 2. Bundesliga stats at home this season for Karlsruher SC are 4-3-5 (wins-draw-losses).
The Karlsruher goalkeeper Marius Gersbeck is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 180 minutes without conceding a goal in the 2. Bundesliga.
A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Karlsruher, who played 0-0 against St. Pauli. That match was also played at this venue (Wildparkstadion). In the game before, an away victory match versus Darmstadt 98 with a 1-0 scoreline.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Karlsruher SC have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eleven games) they have won two times, drawn four and lost five.
The Karlsruher fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 14 in 12 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 13 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Eintracht Braunschweig form and stats
Eintracht Braunschweig, who have the fewest scored goals (7) away in 2. Bundesliga, have only collected 4 points from their away games in the 2. Bundesliga, after 0-4-7 (11 played). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 13 away games in a row.
328 minutes! That's how long the Braunschweig goalkeeper Jasmin Fejzic and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
Braunschweig won their last game, 1-0 versus Sandhausen played at home. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Nürnberg that ended 0-0.
The end of the last match, against Sandhausen, was very satisfying as Felix Kroos scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
We have checked recent matches where Braunschweig have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 13 games were two victories, three draws and eight defeats.
The visitors have scored 7 goals from 11 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Eintracht Braunschweig manager D. Meyer has some worries about the defense as 25 goals have been conceded in these travels.
