Nurnberg will look to extend their strong home form when they welcome Karlsruher, although they must cope without key midfielder Rafael Lubach after his red card in the 2-1 defeat to Paderborn. Despite his suspension, we predict a 2-1 home win as Karlsruher have been struggling on the road of late. At the Max-Morlock-Stadion, the Bavarians have been impressive, taking 2.20 points per game, winning 60% of their matches, and scoring 2.0 goals per home game. Their expected goals at home sits at 1.75, reflecting their consistent attacking output, while they concede only 1.20 on average.
Karlsruher, meanwhile, continue to struggle for momentum despite earning a credible 1-1 draw against Fortuna Dusseldorf. Christian Eichner's men remain weakened by the injuries to Beifus and Rapp. With only 0.60 PPG overall and 0.50 PPG away, their defensive fragility stands out: they concede 2.30 goals on average, with an xGA of 1.99, one of the poorest figures in the league. Karlsruher have also failed to win any of their last four away games.
The H2H record leans towards Karlsruher (11 wins to 6), but current form strongly favours the hosts. Given Nurnberg's high expected goals, we are tempted to bet on Home Win, alongside Over 2.5 goals (55% H2H) and Nurnberg Over 1.5.
This Bundesliga 2 match will be played on Friday 13 February 2026 at 17:30.
