Aug 13th features a match where Sandhausen will travel to Karlsruhe to battle Karlsruher SC in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched 2. Bundesliga teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 27 degrees, a perfect day for football. In their last match, Karlsruher SC recorded a 1-1 draw against Greuther Fürth. Ragnar Ache scored the first goal for Greuther Fürth in the 57th minute, then Marvin Wanitzek tied it up for Karlsruher SC in the 66th minute earning them at least the one point. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 2 of their last 10, while sandhausen sits at 7th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Fortuna Düsseldorf. Janik Bachmann struck first for Sandhausen in the 46th minute on a feed from Chima Okoroji, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else At the end of 90 a dissapointed Fortuna Düsseldorf couldn’t manage to score, and Sandhausen took the shutout win. Sandhausen is looking for direction having earned 13 points in their last 10 matches.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season Sandhausen won the head to head battle with 1 win and 1 draw.
Sandhausen is glad to have Janik Bachmann in top form. In the last 5 matches the midfielder has scored 4 goals. Karlsruher SC is lucky enough to have a few offensive weapons, with Simone Rapp and Fabian Schleusener each having 3 goals in their last 5.
