Team News

Karlsruher SC
Darmstadt
  • No changes are expected from Karlsruher boss Christian Eichner on Friday night.
  • Marcel Franke and Bambase Conte are both fresh injury concerns after missing the game against FC Köln last weekend.
  • Florian Kohfeldt could make one change to the side that faced Magdeburg with Fynn-Luca Lakenmacher replacing Fraser Hornby.
  • Christoph Zimmermann is the headline absentee from a five-man Darmstadt injury list.

Prediction

  • Karlsruher were trailing FC Köln 3-0 after just 15 minutes last weekend following a disastrous start at the RheinEnergieSTADION, but Christian Eichner's men fought back valiantly and eventually claimed a point in a 4-4 thriller. KSC are unbeaten in the league this season and sit third in the 2. Bundesliga standings.
  • Darmstadt couldn't thread together any momentum after their dramatic 5-3 away win against Schalke, losing 2-1 at home to Magdeburg in gameweek seven. The visitors have collected just five points from a possible 21 on their return to the second tier in a concerning start to the campaign.
