Aron Wright - December 20, 2020
Karlsruher SC vs Hamburger
Germany – 2. Bundesliga
Date: Monday, 21 December 2020
Kick-off at 19:30 UK/ 20:30 CET
Venue: Wildparkstadion.
The Red Shorts used to be the toppers of the table, but out of nowhere they went on a three-game losing run, and this demoted them to the second position.
Currently they are desperately trying to get back to the top of the table, and it seems like they are returning to their earlier form.
They have scored the most number of goals of all the teams in the contest, and they are also pitted against a team that are at present on a losing run – the Eurofighter.
On top of that, Christian Eichner’s men also have a worrying h2h record against this rival in the 21st century.
As such, expect the determined Hamburger to secure a win this Monday, and put pressure on toppers Kiel.
The Red Shorts had won seven of the previous twelve overall games, and they had recorded a 4-0 win in their latest fixture. They are also determined to get to the top of the table after getting back to their earlier playing levels.
On top of that, they had registered seven of the former ten overall h2h wins, and they had found the back of the net twice or more in seven of the last nine such meetings.
Meanwhile, their counterparts are on a two-match losing run, and had conceded a total of six goals in the process. They had also lost four of the preceding six appearances at home.
Taking these stats into account, expect Hamburger to emerge victorious this Monday, and considering their in-form offense, expect some early goals as well.
