Karlsruher SC vs Hannover 96
Like last year, Karlsruher was reunited with Hannover 96 in the first round of the DFB Pokal. The match was broadcast live again from Wildparkstadion on Monday (12/8).
When the host was destroyed in a total of 6 goals without reply that became the biggest defeat during the last six meetings. In fact, they had won with a score of 2-0 when they met in 2017.
This time the conditions changed again because Karlsruher got a promotion ticket up to Bundesliga 2, even managed to open their campaign with consecutive wins against Wehen and Dynamo Dresden, each with a score of 1-2 and 4-2.
Meanwhile, Hannover 96 failed to survive in the Bundesliga competition after finishing 17th last season. So, they have to go down to Bundesliga 2 to accompany Karlsruher this season. Unfortunately, their performance did not improve, so they lost 2-1 at the VfB Stuttgart headquarters, then were held to Jahn Regensburg at 1-1 as host.
With such a crushing defeat, tomorrow’s match is a moment awaited by the Wildparkstadion public, especially if it is not for revenge. A perfect start for the hosts and a bad start for the visitors in the latest caste will open a gap for Karlsruher to win.
Our Prediction: Over 2.5
