Karlsruher SC vs Arminia Bielefeld
📖 The Preview
Bielefeld are the pick here and it's not hard to see why. They've won six of their last seven and come into this one having had nearly two weeks off, while Karlsruhe have been playing on a much tighter turnaround. That extra freshness could be the difference in a tight second-half push. KSC have the better head-to-head record historically, and they'll likely nick one themselves with both teams expected to score, but Bielefeld's momentum and fresher legs should be enough to edge it 1-2.
