Karlsruher SC – Hamburger SV : Preview & Prediction
This Sunday, August 6, 2023 marks the 2 nd day in Germany’s second division (2. Bundesliga), where we’ll have the pleasure of witnessing a game between Karlsruhe SC, seventh last season, and Hamburg, who missed out on promotion to the Bundesliga on the play-offs. The match kicks off at 1.30pm at Karlsruhe’s BBBank Wildpark. The home side got off to an excellent start to their Bundesliga campaign last weekend, winning 3-2 at Osnabrück in a lively, goal-scoring encounter that showed plenty of character on the part of the Karlsruhe players, who clinched victory with a late winner (87th minute). Opposite them were Hamburg, who had been steamrollered by Stuttgart in the Bundesliga play-offs (6-1 aggregate), and their summer campaign had been rather moribund. Nevertheless, the first official match of the season on Matchday 1 last Friday saw Hamburg dominate relegated Schalke 04 5-3.
Hamburg have won their last 4 matches (in the 2. Bundesliga).
In head-to-head matches, Karlsruhe lost 2 of the last 3 contests (in the 2. Bundesliga).
Hamburg have scored more than 2.5 goals in 6 of their last 7 matches (in 2. Bundesliga).
In direct encounters, the 2 teams have seen the “more than 2.5 goals” prediction validated in 2 of the last 3 games (in 2. Bundesliga).
