Team News

Karlsruher SC
Hamburg
  • Leon Jensen and Christoph Kobald are both short-term injury concerns for Karlsruher with the former in with an outside chance of featuring on Sunday.
  • Only one change is expected from Christian Eichner this weekend with former Heidenheim midfielder Dzenis Burnic pushing to make his full league debut.
  • With Moritz Heyer now injured, Tim Walter looks set to recall Miro Muheim at left-back for the trip to BBBank Wildpark.
  • Jean-Luc Dompé scored from the bench against Schalke on the opening day and should replace Levin Öztunali out wide here.

Prediction

  • Karlsruher were forced to wait until the 87th minute to find their winner against newly-promoted Osnabrück last weekend with new signing Dzenis Burnic coming off the bench to snatch all three points for KSC. Sunday's hosts ended last season with some strong performances and have found their groove in Eichner's 4-3-1-2 system.
  • Hamburg returned to 2. Bundesliga action in style last Friday night, raising the curtain on the new season with an immense 5-3 win against recently relegated Schalke. That win represented everything that characterises Tim Walter's Hamburg and laid down a marker as the visitors go in search of the title in 2023/24.
