Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Following a thrilling 3-2 win over Greuther Furth, Karlsruher will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Hamburger SV in the 2. Bundesliga round 14. Karlsruher aim to overtake Paderborn in top position and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach against Hamburg. Midfielder Leon Jensen is banned for the hosts, while all Luca Pfeiffer, Lasse Gunther, Christoph Kobald, Efe-Kaan Sihlaroglu, and Robin Bormuth remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Die Rothosen, on the other hand, failed to win the previous four league matches. HSV are eager to put an end to the negative trend and given their attacking potential, both teams to score betting option should be considered. The likes of Immanuel Pherai, Ludovit Reis, Valon Zumberi, and Robert Glatzel miss out with injuries for the visiting team, while defender Lucas Perrin should be recalled to the starting XI.
