Nurnberg vs Karlsruher (Prediction, Preview & Betting Tips) / 23.10.2020
Two relegation candidates from last season meet - analysis
In the south duel between 1. FC Nürnberg and Karlsruher SC, two relegation candidates from the previous season meet. At that time, KSC was able to overtake Nuremberg on the last day of the match. The FCN then had to tremble in relegation for relegation. This season, both clubs didn't get off to an optimal start to the season, although the "club” got off the starting blocks a little better. But we can imagine that Karlsruher SC will be mentally in better shape after their victory on the previous matchday and therefore tend to bet on double chances in favor of the guests.

This should be sealed as soon as possible this season. While the hosts from Bavaria could only get one point from the last two games, the guests from Baden-Württemberg recorded a victory on the last match day. In Nuremberg, the KSC lost only 1 of the last 5 games. Will the newcomer of the 2018/2019 season get at least one point in the Max Morlock Stadium on Friday?

Does the FCN have to wait for the second win of the season?
1. FC Nürnberg did not start the new season optimally after the last season 2019/2020 almost ended with relegation. In the DFB Cup, the Bavarian club had to admit defeat to RB Leipzig in the first round with 0: 3. At the start of the 2nd Bundesliga, the Franks then got 5 points from the first 3 games.

The first home game against SV Sandhausen could be won 1-0, in the second home game the "Club" then suffered a 2-3 defeat against SV Darmstadt. The two away games against Jahn Regensburg and St. Pauli each saw a draw. With this very even balance and a goal difference of 6: 6, 1. FC Nürnberg is currently in 9th place in the table. After 2 low-goal games at the beginning of the season, 2 spectacular games followed with 4 and 5 goals respectively. The defense of Nuremberg was clearly too vulnerable in these games.

A young but inexperienced head coach
After coach Jens Keller was dismissed at the end of last season and Michael Wiesinger, the current head of the youth department, brought the "club” through relegation, the management team from Nuremberg introduced Robert Klauss as head coach for the new season. The 35-year-old is still very inexperienced in this position. He previously worked as an assistant coach at RB Leipzig under Ralf Rangnick and Julian Nagelsmann, where he looked after the U19 and U17. In his first 5 games as the person responsible for Nuremberg, he only won one victory.

FC Nürnberg had a strong record against Karlsruher SC in recent years. 3 of the last 4 games against KSC could be won. Nevertheless, Karlsruhe has only lost one away game since 2007. 3 of the last 4 games between the two clubs that took place in Nuremberg ended in a draw. The last two duels were very poor in goals with a maximum of 2 hits.

Will the last win inspire KSC?
In the past season, Karlsruher SC just escaped relegation to the 3rd division. With a win on the last day of the match, the club from Baden-Württemberg overtook 1. FC Nürnberg and was able to make the direct relegation perfect. This season, the KSC threatens a similar scenario and a fight to stay up until the last day of the game.
Free soccer tips
The newcomer of the 2018/2019 season lost all of the first 3 games of the season. In these 3 games, the Karlsruhe offensive was extremely harmless and could not score a single hit. The two away games in Hanover and Regensburg ended with 0: 2 and 0: 1. But the turning point happened on the previous day. At home, Karlsruher SC clearly won 3-0 against SV Sandhausen. Philipp Hofmann, Dominik Kother and Christoph Kobald scored the goals. With this victory, the KSC gained a lot of self-confidence, which should be taken into the upcoming game against 1. FC Nürnberg.
Eichner - a trainer with a KSC past
Coach Alois Schwartz led Karlsruher SC from the 3rd division to the 2nd Bundesliga. Since relegation was threatened in the first year of the second division, the management of the KSC decided to swap coaches and from now on relied on club legend Christian Eichner. Eichner was already active as a youth player for Karlsruhe and matured into a professional there. After Alois Schwartz's dismissal, he initially worked as an interim coach before officially becoming head coach of the professional team for the new season. Christian Eichner led the KSC to stay in the league last season. He should also achieve this goal in the current season.

Betting tip and forecast
The betting providers see 1. FC Nürnberg on Friday against Karlsruher SC as favorites. The FCN has the better squad and home rights on its side. With the clear victory on the previous day of the match, KSC gained a lot of self-confidence and only lost one duel in Nuremberg since 2007.
Free soccer tips
That is why we choose the tip on a double chance bet in favor of the guests. Furthermore, we can imagine that fewer than 2.5 goals will be scored on Friday. 3 of the 4 season games in Karlsruhe were low on goal with a maximum of 2 goals. This also applies to the last two games between Nuremberg and KSC.

In the 2nd Bundesliga, a regular game day is on the program again this coming weekend. Unlike the previous week, we can therefore look forward to three exciting duels on Friday evening. One of these encounters will take place in the Max Morlock Stadium on Valznerweiher. 1. FC Nürnberg welcomes Karlsruhe. According to the odds, the home side go into the game as favorites.
The fact that the best bookmakers have raised the prices for the home win bit by bit in the last few days is primarily due to the previous game day. While the Franks had to be satisfied with a flattering 2-2 draw in St. Pauli on Monday evening, the KSC celebrated a real break in the 3-0 win against Sandhausen.
Free soccer predictions
On the fourth match day, the Baden team not only scored their first points on the credit side, but also celebrated a goal for the first time in the new second division season. With their self-confidence, the Eichner-Elf now also wants to take something countable from the "Club”.

However, a forecast of the number of goals between Nuremberg and Karlsruhe is more interesting. In view of the fact that the home side has so far found it very difficult to score against compact defenders and exactly such a task will be waiting for the Klauß-Elf on Friday, we tend to have a match before kick-off with a maximum of two hits will fall.
Nuremberg:
1. FC Nürnberg is absolutely great! At least when it comes to losing guided tours! The Franconians were already ahead four times in the still young season, and only once did they win after 90 minutes.

It was only last Monday that it became clear once again that the "Club” is currently performing significantly better when the scoreboard shows a draw. In the difficult away game at FC St. Pauli, coach Robert Klauss’s protégés took the lead both 1-0 and 2-1. In the respective episode, however, the 1st FCN was too passive and therefore could not complain about the 2-2 final result.
Free soccer predictions
In general, last year’s Nagelsmann assistant Robert Klauß has so far failed to provide evidence to raise the team to a significantly higher level. Five points after four games are not a catastrophically bad, but also not a particularly good result.
Free soccer picks
Those responsible around ex-HSV trainer Dieter Hecking caused even greater headaches, however, by the fact that the Franks have so far almost exclusively become dangerous after switching moments. From the game, the 1. FCN is finding it extremely difficult. As a result, from a purely tactical point of view, it makes sense to make a prognosis on Friday between Nuremberg and Karlsruhe that the home side will again have problems against a rather low KSC defense.
Free soccer tips
We consider a similar course of play to the only win against Sandhausen to be realistic. Even then, the clubs largely neutralized each other before Lukas Mühl pushed a header over the line in the 77th minute to make the final 1-0 result. The talented central defender could return to the team on Friday after missing on Monday due to an infection. Behrens, Misidjan and Besong are definitely not available.

Karlsruhe:
Taking a deep breath was announced last weekend at Karlsruher SC. After three defeats in the first three match days, in which also not a single goal was scored, the Baden team finally turned back on the winning track at home against SV Sandhausen. Thanks to two early goals by Phillip Hofmann (3rd) and Dominik Kother (30th), the Eichner-Elf laid the foundation for the 3-0 victory that was ultimately deserved in the first round.
Free soccer picks
The men from the wildlife park should not rest on the first three, especially since the blue-whites in the table of the 2nd Bundesliga are still on the penultimate place and urgently need to score points in order not to lose touch with the top positions early.

Although coach Christian Eichner’s protégés were able to regain some self-confidence with their first win of the season, it can be assumed on Friday evening that the German champions of 1909 will once again choose a more defensive approach. So far, the defense around keeper Gersbeck can not be made a major reproach. Only at the start in Hanover did the former Herthan concede more than one goal.
Free soccer predictions
In view of the well-functioning work against the ball as well as the often lack of penetration in the attack, it makes sense to place a tip on the Under 2.5 between Nuremberg and Karlsruhe. In three out of four KSC games, a corresponding bet would have been crowned with success. In general, the three-goal mark was only cracked in seven of 20 competitive games under the direction of Christian Eichner.
Free soccer tips
On Friday, the young coach can also draw on the full potential. Only Hanek, who is badly injured in his knee, is not available. After the good performance against the SVS, great changes are not to be expected anyway.
