Greuther Furth 7/5 to beat Karlsruher SC in Friday’s Bundesliga II matchup

Competition: Bundesliga II

Market: Greuther Furth win

Odds: 7/5 @ 888sport

With a chance to break into the automatic promotion spots on Friday evening, Greuther Furth will make the trip to an inconstant Karlsruher SC.

Starting with the hosts, while Karlsruher might have managed to make a much-needed return to winning ways last weekend, they have continued to show a host of issues at the back. In their 14 Bundesliga II matchups so far this season, they have recorded six wins, one draw and seven defeats, scoring 23 and conceding 21 in return. Managing to collect themselves a points tally of 19, Karlsruher open Friday’s fixtures sat 10th in the table and just a single point adrift of breaking into the top-half of the standings. However, while the hosts might have collected a dramatic 4-2 win against a rock-bottom Würzburger Kickers last time out, they have collected just three points from their last four Bundesliga II contests. It should also be noted that Karlsruher have conceded at least a pair of goals in their last four appearances on the bounce.

As for the visitors, continuing on what was a largely impressive purple patch either side of the festive break, Greuther Furth have an automatic promotion charge at the top of their agenda. In their 14 Bundesliga II matchups so far this season, they have recorded eight wins, three draws and three defeats, scoring 27 and conceding 16 in return. Along with collecting a points tally of 27 and opening Friday’s fixtures sat just a single point adrift of breaking into the top-two, it should also be noted that Furth hold the second-best attacking record in the division. As for their recent run of results, along with landing a very impressive victory against top-flight Hoffenheim in the DFP Pokal last month, the guests have won each of their last three straight matchups across all formats. Also winning each of their last six away fixtures on the spin, we’re backing a similar outcome this week.
