Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Buoyed by a splendid 5-3 win over fellow promotion-chasing Schalke 04, Hamburger SV will look to overtake Greuther Furth in top position when they take on Karlsruher on Matchday 2. HSV made a promising start to the season, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to secure automatic Bundesliga promotion. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Robert Glatzel, who scored a brace in the season opener, while Mario Vuskovic misses out through suspension.
All Suhonen, Schonlau, Reis, Heyer, Katterbach, Hadzikadunic, and Mikelbrencis remain in the recovery room, but they were not missed at all against die Knappen. The hosts, on the other hand, did well to beat Osnabruck on the road at the weekend, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against die Rothosen. HSV are more of a team than Karlsruher and we predict that the visitors are going to keep their 100% record intact. The likes of Kobald, Jensen, Sihlaroglu, and OShaughnessy are injured for the hosts.
