Karlsruher finished the last year's campaign in 5th place, only 2 places below the promotion spots.

They have picked up where they left off and started this campaign on a high note, winning W4 and T3 games without a defeat.

Their playmaker, Wanitzek, is having a blast of a season so far, scoring 4 goals and providing 4 assists.

Zivzivadze's main goal scorer has 6 goals in 7 games. With this being mentioned, we can see that Karlsruher has filled the gap that L. Steindl left when he decided to retire from football at the end of last season.

If they keep this kind of form throughout the season, we expect Karlsruher to be able to make the next step and be in the top 3 contenders in Bundesliga 2 fighting for promotion.

Goal difference is 16:11.

Darmstadt's decline hasn't stopped.

Last season, they were last in the Bundesliga with only 17 points.

The good thing is that the core players of the teams didn't leave and stayed with the club.

But this year they haven't started well and have only 1 win in 7 matches played with a goal difference of 9:16.

The signing of a quality striker in Isac Lidberg has proven to be an effective one, he brought them 5 goals in 5 appearances, and if their second star signing starts to play to his potential, Luca Marseiler, the results will start to be more positive.

We expect them to slowly build up their form and start to climb up the table.
