Karlsruher SC - 1.FC Nürnberg

It is all well in Karlsruhe, they started very good and collected many points in the first five Rounds what put them near the top. Additional they are on a good run where they are unbeaten in all but one thing is a little bit annoying. They are winless at home so far and they were not able to score more as a single goal, this goal came from a Penalty. Therefore they have to improve a lot at home and this is the case why they are not absolutely on top. Maybe it is hard for them to play against defensive minded teams or teams who has the focus more on defensive. On the road they can play their style with their counter attacks and a lot of space anyway. Today, against an old rival they get maybe some space although Nürnberg should be warned and put the focus on their defensive. According to their performances they are not on a good run and they started awful. With two wins and 3 defeats out of the first five Rounds it is not the expected outcome. The pressure on Coach and Team is getting bigger and bigger and they have to show some reaction here. Maybe a good sign should be the last road match in Berlin where they won 4-0 to Union. If they can return to this style of play they can get here for sure something. Also they have to work hard on their offensive play as it was seen a lot that they were not able to create or get as dangerous as they should to finish they attacks. It was to harmless till now and the whole team must be more active.

After the harsh defeat against Düsseldorf on monday they are back on ground. Maybe this let them work harder and Coach Ismael said already that he does not know if he change the starting lineup or give all a chance from beginning on again. But he said also that he sees a lot of alternatives at the moment. But overall I see more a head problem and the pressure on the players are to big from outside. Additional some of the players put to many pressure on herself what is not so much beneficial for their performance. In this case he must trust his team and trust the players. This statement said all, if he said such he can not change much.

Home Coach Kauczinski does not want to change his team as well, maybe in some part a big but not much. He has almost all available and the rivalry is very big in training sessions. In central back the duo Gulde / Gordon plays for sure as with Mauersberger is the third defender not ready after his hand operation. One option more is Krebs who is back after his eye problems but he is in training since friday and this allow Kauczinski to take him into the squad for the match today.
