This is a game where Magdeburg should be the side with more of the ball, while Karlsruher SC wait for the counter-attacking moment. Looking at the expected line-ups, Magdeburg are likely to line up 4-3-3 with Baris Atik and Emmanuel Iyoha as the wide creators, while Karlsruher SC set up 3-4-1-2 with Marvin Wanitzek pulling the strings in the middle. Magdeburg have just lost 0-2 in their latest match, but before that at home they picked up wins in 3 of 4 games and averaged 2.3 goals per game. Karlsruher SC also just won 4-0 in their latest match, but away from home their defence still has problems, especially in the first half where they trail in almost every game. If Karlsruher SC score first, the game will likely flip into them sitting back and waiting to counter, which is the moment Magdeburg must be careful of, because the hosts' own defence is not especially solid. But if Magdeburg get the opening goal, they tend to keep attacking and can turn up the pressure even more.
