Karlsruher have made an unexpectedly good start to the new season. The club is in third place and for seven rounds has four wins and three draws. The team is distinguished by the ability to play in attack. At the moment, only Cologne scored more than them. In great shape are Zivzivadze and Vanitzek, who for two scored 10 goals out of their club’s 16 in the league.
Darmstadt played in the Bundesliga not so long ago, and this season so far is in the relegation zone of the Second Bundesliga. Such a start clearly indicates that for a return to the first Bundesliga fight is unlikely to work. The team has big problems in defense. In terms of goals conceded, it is the third team in the league.
