Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Buoyed by a hard-fought win over Hertha Berlin, Wehen will look to climb to top three in the standings when they face Karlsruher on Friday. Wehen defended well in the Olympiastadion clash and we are positive that they will rely on their solid defence against Karlsruher as well. Lass Gunther, who scored a late winner in Berlin, is pushing for a rare start, while all Bennetts, Iredale, Brdar, Batzner, Lyska, and Taffershofer remain in the recovery room.
The visitors, on the other hand, aim to recover from the DFB Pokal loss to Saarbrucken. Karlsruher defeated Wehen in their last meeting at BRITA-Arena and given their fine display in a 2-2 draw with promotion hopefuls HSV, we believe that away win should be considered. As for the visiting team, defender Philip Heise will be assessed ahead of the kick-off, while all Jerome Gondorf, Efe-Kaan Sihlaroglu, and Daniel OShaughnessy remain in the treatment room.
