Karlsruher SC and Darmstadt 98 meet often enough that they should know each other's game well, and none of the last six meetings ended without a goal. This time both come in with points very close together: the hosts are bottom of the table, while the visitors sit 14th, just two points apart. Karlsruher SC lost 0-2 in their latest league match, and across their last five league games they have managed only one win. Their attack is clearly struggling. Darmstadt 98, meanwhile, are finding their rhythm, winning two league games in a row and having just thrashed their opponents 3-1 in the latest match. Their defence still shows leaks at times, but their attacking rhythm is sharper than the hosts' right now. This game should be open from the start, because both teams have similar defensive problems, and when the game stretches late, the hosts tend to concede heavily. Darmstadt 98, who look to have the better attacking rhythm, should have the edge in a game where both sides will create chances.
