Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Following three consecutive defeats, Hansa Rostock will be aiming to move away from the relegation zone when they face Karlsruher on Saturday. Hansa produced a fine display in the 1-0 loss to league leaders St. Pauli, which is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of the decisive fixtures. All Jasper van der Werff, Simon Rhein, Kevin Schumacher, and Elias Hoftmann are out of contention with injuries for the home team, while Damian Rossbach is back from suspension.
Karlsruher, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Hertha Berlin and Nurnberg. As the visitors are eager to keep their playoffs hopes alive, we are tempted to place our bets on both teams to score. With no fresh injury worries to report, Christian Eichner is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Bavarians at Max-Morlock-Stadion at the weekend.
