----------------------------------
Karlsruhe - LWLDWL
Efe Kaan Sihlaroglu (Knee surgery), Robin Bormuth (Cruciate ligament tear), Christoph Kobald (Inflammation of pubic bone) and Lasse Günther (Adductor pain) won’t be playing for Karlsruhe gaffer Christian Eichner.
We think that Karlsruhe should line up in a 4-4-2 system for the game, beginning the first half with Max Weiss, Sebastian Jung, Marcel Franke, Marcel Beifus, David Herold, Bambase Conte, Dzenis Burnic, Nicolai Rapp, Marvin Wanitzek, Budu Zivzivadze and Fabian Schleusener.
Karlsruhe will be looking for an improved result here after the 1-3 Bundesliga 2 defeat last time out to Hamburg.
In that game, Karlsruhe managed 48% possession and 21 shots on goal with 4 on target. The only player to score for Karlsruhe was Fabian Schleusener (36'). Hamburg had 19 shots on goal with 8 of them on target. Jean-Luc Dompé (23', 55') and Davie Selke (87') scored for Hamburg.
Karlsruhe haven’t been able to stop scoring goals, finding the back of the net in one hundred percent of their last 6 matches.
They have totted up the amount of 9 during that period while seeing the number of goals scored against them stand at 8. That sort of trend isn’t assured to follow through into this next game, of course.
Augsburg - WWDDLW
Augsburg boss Jess Thorup has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Reece Oxford (Fitness), Robert Gumny (Muscle injury), Fredrik Jensen (Groin surgery), Mads Pedersen (Groin surgery) and Dimitrios Giannoulis (Adductor injury) are not ready for selection.
We believe Augsburg will likely utilise a 3-5-2 lineup, going with Nediljko Labrovic, Chrislain Matsima, Jeffrey Gouweleeuw, Maximilian Bauer, Marius Wolf, Elvis Rexhbecaj, Kristijan Jakic, Frank Onyeka, Henri Koudossou, Alexis Claude and Phillip Tietz.
Augsburg will go into this match following a 1-0 Bundesliga win in the defeat of VfL Bochum in their previous outing.
In that match, Augsburg managed 53% possession and 16 attempts on goal with 4 on target. The scorer for Augsburg was Phillip Tietz (38'). Bochum got 7 shots on goal with 1 of them on target.
In the course of their 6 latest matches, Jess Thorup's Augsburg have had reason to celebrate scoring 7 times therefore giving them the goals scored per game average of 1.17.
Karlsruher SC possible starting lineup:
Weiss; Jung, Franke, Beifus, Herold; Burnic, Rapp, Heusser, Wanitzek; Pfeiffer, Zivzivadze
Augsburg possible starting lineup:
Dahmen; Matsima, Gouweleeuw, Schlotterbeck; Wolf, Onyeka, Jakic, Rexhbecaj, Koudossou; Tietz, Claude-Maurice
Karlsruhe vs Augsburg Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
There have been 38 meetings between Karlsruhe and Augsburg. The home side have won 18 of those games while the visitors have won 10 times, with their other 10 clashes ending in draws.
The two teams last faced off in a 2. Bundesliga clash back in April 2011 which Augsburg won 1-0.
KSC have won just one of their last five games in this fixture.
Augsburg are one of five teams in the German top flight this season yet to win on the road.
Prediction: Karlsruher SC 0-2 Augsburg
Given Augsburg's status as a Bundesliga club, it is reasonable to expect that there will be a gulf in quality on display this Wednesday against second-tier Karlsruher. Additionally, the visitors are in good form and should be considered strong favourites to advance to the quarter-finals.
