Team News

Karlsruher SC
Magdeburg
  • Midfield duo Dzenis Burnic and Bambase Conte have both been ruled out by Christian Eichner, leaving Karlsruher light in the middle of the park.
  • Eichner has hinted that 17-year-old Rafael Pinto Pedrosa could replace them in midfield on Saturday.
  • Sebastian Jung is scheduled to make his return to the starting XI this weekend after missing the trip to the VELTINS-Arena.
  • Christian Titz has six players unavailable for the trip to BBBank Wildpark, including Samuel Loric and Patric Pfeiffer.
  • Philipp Hercher would be the logical replacement for the sidelined Alexander Ahl-Holmström, but he is also ruled out with a thigh problem.
  • Magdeburg could therefore call upon the services of Abu-Bekir Ömer El-Zein, who has struggled for game time lately.

Prediction

  • Goals from Janik Bachmann and Pape Meissa Ba resigned Karlsruher to a 2-1 away defeat against Schalke last weekend at the VELTINS-Arena. KSC have dropped away from the promotion race after a dismal run that has seen them pick up just one point from their last five 2.Bundesliga fixtures.
  • Magdeburg, on the other hand, are a team on the rise. Christian Titz's squad landed a statement victory last Friday night, hammering league leaders FC Köln 3-0 at the Avnet Arena to end their home form hoodoo. FCM have won five of their last nine league matches and sit just two points off the top spot.
Away win
