After losing 2-1 away to SC Paderborn 07 in the last round, the team have now gone three matches without a win, with their overall form remaining consistently poor.

Both their ability to capitalize on chances in attack and their defensive focus have exposed clear issues.

In contrast, although Karlsruher SC drew at home with Fortuna Dusseldorf in the last round and also suffered three consecutive winless matches, the team still demonstrated a certain resilience in controlling the game and creating opportunities.

More crucially, the historical head-to-head balance has tilted heavily in one direction: in the last five direct encounters, Karlsruher achieved an overwhelming record of 4 wins and 1 loss, giving them a significant psychological advantage.

Given these shifting dynamics, Karlsruher, playing away, are actually more trustworthy.

Thus, they are expected to leverage their consistent tactical restraint and psychological edge over Nuremberg to secure points on the road.

Karlsruher SC (+0.5/1)
