Team News

Karlsruher SC
Nuernberg
  • Christian Eichner will have a new number-one goalkeeper this season, although it remains to be seen whether that will be Max Weiss or summer signing Robin Himmelmann.
  • New addition Lasse Guenther will start at left-back on Saturday in what will be a relatively familiar Karlsruher starting line-up, prepared in Eichner's trusted 4-3-1-2 formation.
  • Miroslav Klose has been working on a 4-1-4-1 system over the summer with plenty of new names for the Nürnberg supporters to get excited about.
  • Expect debuts for five summer additions on Saturday with the likes of Robin Knoche, Florian Pick and Caspar Jander all in line for starts at BBBank Wildpark.

Prediction

  • There are reasons for Karlsruher fans to be optimistic heading into the 2024/25 campaign after watching their side end last season with four wins from their final five league games. The core of that squad remains untouched, although squad depth is a concern for Christian Eichner after 12 players left the club over the summer.
  • A fresh start was what Nürnberg needed heading into the summer after Cristian Fiel's reign was characterised by fluctuating performance levels and an over-reliance on teenage sensations Nathaniel Brown and Can Uzun. Both have since departed for Bundesliga clubs, but the board have reinvested well with Miroslav Klose taking charge of a reinvigorated squad for the 2024/25 2. Bundesliga campaign.
