Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
FC Koln will be looking to use their strong tradition and home advantage when they face Karlsruher SC in an exciting 2. Bundesliga clash. The Billy Goats have had an inconsistent start to the season, but they will be confident of securing three points in front of their home fans. With Damion Downs being the only new injury concern for Koln, the hosts should have a near-full squad available, which boosts their chances of success.
Karlsruher SC, on the other hand, have struggled with injury issues, particularly in defence. Both Efe-Kaan Sihlaroglu and Robin Bormuth are sidelined, which could leave the visitors vulnerable at the back. Karlsruher's performances have been unpredictable, and, as a result, they could face a difficult task against a motivated Köln side. Given Koln's solid home form and tradition in this fixture, they are likely to dominate the game.
