Prediction

  • Karlsruher got their promotion bid back on track last weekend as they came from behind to secure a 3-2 away win against a struggling Greuther Fürth side. The home side were winless in three prior to that result but now sit second in the table heading into gameweek 18.
  • Hamburg raced into a 2-0 first-half lead against Schalke, but second-half goals from Amin Younes and Kenan Karaman levelled the scoreline before the final whistle. A four-match winless streak brought Steffen Baumgart's tenure to an end as the 52-year-old was sacked in the aftermath of last Saturday's match.
