Team News

Karlsruher SC
Osnabrueck
  • With Leon Jensen suspended and Lars Stindl sidelined through injury, Christoph Kobald could step into the midfield on Friday.
  • Christian Eichner will continue to field his team in a 4-3-1-2 system following a strong end to the Hinrunde.
  • Uwe Koschinat could hand debuts to new signings Athanasios Androutsos and Lex-Tyger Lobinger on Friday.
  • Niklas Wiemann has served his suspension and will return to the squad, but Bashkim Ajdini will miss out.

Prediction

  • Karlsruher ended the Hinrunde in style, beating Elversberg 3-2 at BBBank Wildpark thanks to two early goals from Dzenis Burnic and Budu Zidzivadze. Christian Eicnher's side are unbeaten in their last five 2.Bundesliga outings as they mark the return of domestic action on Friday evening.
  • Osnabrück failed to capitalise on a late Florian Niederlechner red card last time out as they played out a goalless draw against Hertha Berlin. Uwe Koschinat's side are winless in 10 league games and eight points behind sixth-placed Hansa Rostock as they prepare to kick off the Rückrunde.
