Karlsruher vs Hamburger SV Match Preview

Karlsruher is ranked at14th place with 16 points and comes after three wins and two losses over the last five matches. After a four-game winning streak they managed to climb in ranks and leave the red zone but now after losing the recent two, they went back on struggling.

With 18 goals scored so far, they have the second-best offensive side from the bottom half teams and in the last five matches, they scored a total of eight goals, finding opponents' net at least once per game. In fact, they managed to find the back of the net at least once in each of the last five duels, and at home they have scored in four out of five matches played.

Hamburger SV, on the other hand, is ranked at 4th place with 23 points and comes after two wins and three losses over the last five matches. They were having a bad run of five games without a single win and dropped out of the promotion zone, but finally got back to winning ways in the last two duels.

They have scored 25 goals until now, having the best attack in the league averaging at least two goals per game and also in the last five matches they have scored nine goals. After the solid 4-0 win against Sandhausen, they will seek to continue like that even here.

In conclusion, I think both teams can score at least a goal here. Karlsruher needs to change their results and at home will try to do that since their rivals have not shown a solid defense so far. Hamburger SV is in need of points as they are chasing promotion this season and can not afford another false step. I expect them to score first here and could even grab the final win.
