Karlsruher SC - VfL Bochum

This is the match from two winner teams because both won last weekend. KSC is very close to the top and they can win a win close the gap to leader Ingolstadt more and more. But for this they need the first home win 2015 and if they get this all are open to talk from promotion also Coach Kauczinski. On the other side Bochum is in midfield of the table but is not far away from the red zone what means that they need still points to be absolutely sure and get not in trouble at the end.

The position from KSC is clear, they want the win but Coach Kauczinski has to replace some of his defensive players. Compared to the win in Heidenheim 1-0 he has not available suspended Valentini, injured Gordon and first keeper Orlishausen. All three are replaced as follows: Klingmann takes the back wing position, while Mauersberger replace Gordon in central back and plays beside Gulde. For the experienced keeper stands in goal Vollath what is the first match for him this season. Additional some changes in midfield are also possible. He was not very pleased with Meffert and Sallihi and both must fight to start again today. It is very open if they are in team but with Krebs is a very experienced player ready and he can play on the wing or in the middle and it is also possible that he changes the position with Yamada.

On the other side Coach Verbeek has not reason to changes his successful team from last weekend where they showed some good play and won 3-2 against Braunschweig. But it is not sure if DEF Fabian can play because of some muscle problems. If he must pass Cacutalua can play for him in central back and it should not such a problems as he has shown his strength this season already. All the other positions remain unchanged above all Terrazzino had a great game against Braunschweig and all hopes are again on him today. He was a former player from KSC and this makes it very interesting too as he should be huge motivated today. The only question mark is Latza who has a bad day against Braunschweig and was replace by Zahirovic at the break. Maybe he gets a chance again but the pressure from Zahirovic is big.

This encounter take place 52 times. With 21 wins, 18 draw and 13 defeats has Bochum the better times. But in Karlsruhe Bochum won 6, draw 10 and lost 8 and speaks a little for KSC. But overall the last home win from KSC against Bochum was 2008/09 and this was still to 1.Bundesliga times. Since then they were not able to score a single goal in 3 attempts at home against Bochum and played 0-2 and 0-0 and 0-0.

KSC at home this season with some problems and they had a lot of luck last weekend. I am sure that the problems in defensive line are not so easy to handle and this can be the chance for Bochum who are in a good situation after the first win under Coach Verbeek.
