Karlsruher SC - Greuther Fürth

Round 4 is coming up and we have a Top match in 2.Bundesliga. Of course we need a few Rounds more that we can say this but there plays 3rd vs. 1st. The situation was different before the season, Fürth was relegated from 1.Bundesliga while KSC promoted from 3rd League. Therefore a good start for both so far but know one knows if they can continue with their level they showed already. In this case we have to wait some Rounds as I said already and after 6-8 Rounds you can say more about the strength and where they can be at the end of the season. Nevertheless both deserved their good start, KSC kept a clean sheet in all their matches so far while Fürth conceded only one but won all their matches. With a win or draw Fürth can remain on 1st place on the other side KSC with a win they can overcome Fürth. The only problem for KSC is that they never won against Fürth in the past 5 matches.

KSC Coach Kauczinski has all his players from last weekend available. He can count on the same what he did already in the first matches. The team looked well balanced and there were not many changes due to last season. Therefore all players worked together for longer time now and their success gave them confidence and motivation that they are on the right way. Above all their defensive is very strong at the moment but this was already in 3rd league the case. The only problem can be that some injured players need some time longer as expected because defender Stoll got injured in training again. Also with Gulde and Kempe they miss two players who are not ready overall. Due to the good and successful last matches some of the players can be sure that they have saved their places in starting lineup.

Well done, never expected such a good start from Fürth after their desaster from last season in 1.Bundesliga where they could not win a single home match. Nevertheless the hope is back and the team worked well and all their self confidence is back after the first wins. So they know that they are able to win matches in this league and also against Top promotion candidates like Kaiserslautern is but they stopped them last monday. Despite the win against Kaiserslautern Coach Kramer must change his offensive row because with striker Djurdic got an important and excellent player injured. He is out with knee injury for month now. Huge blow for them anyway. Mudrinski replace Djurdic at the moment, he comes in last monday and scored the winning goal. What a good advertise for him but he is almost the same player as Azemi and therefore Fürth search for a new striker who is the same typ as Djurdic. This can be that Mudrinski is only in team for a some rounds and must be back on bench then. But let's see what happen and what they are able to do right now. Overall the team played very well against Lautern and should be able to continue their run, not many changes expected in lineup.
