Karlsruher SC form and stats
When playing at home in the 2. Bundesliga, Karlsruher SC have managed 3 wins, 0 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 7 games.
Karlsruher are returning here after visiting Holstein Kiel in a 2. Bundesliga game and winning with a 3-2 scoreline. Robin Bormuth, Marco Thiede and Philip Heise scored the goal(s). Ahead of that match, Karlsruher SC won a home game hosting Greuther Fürth (3-2).
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Karlsruher SC have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won three, drawn four and lost two.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the 2. Bundesliga game versus Hannover 96 in only four days. This game is also played here at Wildparkstadion.
The Karlsruher fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 12 goals in 7 league matches. Karlsruher have conceded 11 from these games.
Heidenheim form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Heidenheim so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-5 (win-draw-lose). Heidenheim has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
The supporters enjoyed Heidenheim's previous game versus Darmstadt 98 (placed 14th), a 2. Bundesliga 3-0 win played at home. Preceding that game, the 0-4 loss visiting Sandhausen's place.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Heidenheim playing away and similar expectations, we found 15 relevant matches. Results were three Heidenheim wins, six draws and six defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Heidenheim manager F. Schmidt as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Eintracht Braunschweig.
The attacking power of Heidenheim when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 7 league matches away. The Heidenheim manager F. Schmidt has some worries about the defense as 16 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
