Karlsruher SC form and stats
4 victories, 4 draws and 6 defeats. That’s what Karlsruher SC have to build on here at Wildparkstadion in the 2. Bundesliga.
The Karlsruher crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Osnabruck here at Wildparkstadion in a 2. Bundesliga match. Preceding that game was the away draw at Paderborn that finished 2-2.
The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Karlsruher's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played one game, won zero matches, drawn one and lost zero.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Erzgebirge Aue are coming to town in three days.
The Karlsruher fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 14 in 14 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. On the other hand, Karlsruher SC have conceded 14 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
