The referee of the game is Richard Hempel. For the 28-year-old, it is the 35th encounter in the 2nd Bundesliga. He also led the Red Devils’ 3-0 away win in Fürth in mid-September.

Elversberg13:14
Karlsruhe and Elversberg only met in six games. The balance sheet for the KSC is virtually flawless. Four wins and two draws. However, things have recently become much tighter for the Baden team. In the last game, Marvin Wanitzek had to make up a two-goal deficit with a brace in the final quarter of an hour. In the last home game, Karlsruhe narrowly won 3-2 – at that time, current Elversberger, Lasse Günther, scored 1-0.

Bielefeld1:09 p.m
For the East Westphalians, who have been waiting for an away win since August 10th (since then two draws, two defeats) and whose offensive production with 25 goals is the best in the national football lower house, coach Mitch Kniat decided not to make any changes after the 4-0 home win against Karlsruher SC. In the 4-3-3, Wörl can defend its place.
:
Elversberg1:05 p.m
Hasan Kuruçay scored the decisive goal two weeks ago between Schalke and Elversberg in the 4th minute. The Saarlanders were never able to make up for the deficit, but still showed an appealing performance in the Ruhr area. For this reason, Vincent Wagner changes in only one position: Lasse Günther starts at the back left for Felix Keidel.
:
Kiel1:01 p.m
There is also a change in the starting lineup at KSV. For Rosenboom, Müller, who is starting for the first time since matchday seven, goes on the offensive. Otherwise, Marcel Rapp trusts the ten players from the Düsseldorf game.
:
Bielefeld1:00 p.m
On the Franconian side, who won their last home game against Arminia 1-0 in September 2022 and who have only scored five goals in their previous six games in front of their own crowd, coach Miroslav Klose has made a personnel change compared to the 2-1 away win at SG Dynamo Dresden. Lochoshvili pushes Knoche onto the bench after serving his yellow card suspension.

Elversberg12:58
After a 4-0 defeat, half the team is often replaced. However, Christian Eichner chooses a different path and sends almost the same team onto the pitch that lost against Bielefeld. Only Leon Opitz has to go to the bench. Starting for him is 17-year-old Eymen Laghrissi, who is celebrating his first start. He earned this with three goals (four games) in the U19 youth league and an assist in his first second division appearance.

Kiel12:51
The Bundesliga relegated team from Kiel needed some time to arrive this season. But in the meantime, Marcel Rapp’s team was able to make people sit up and take notice with victories against Schalke or in the cup against first division team Wolfsburg. The home win before the international break at home against Düsseldorf was also important. This allowed the storks to collect important points to establish themselves in midfield. With another three, the North Germans could move within two points of FCK. But the Kiel team have often struggled with themselves away from home. We couldn’t win in the last three games in front of a foreign crowd. Before today’s game, however, coach Rapp recalled the game at Schalke, in which his team performed well in front of a big crowd. Garnished with the last away win to date. Such a backdrop awaits the KSV today.
:
Bielefeld12:51
DSC Arminia Bielefeld, which had lost four times in a row due to strong initial results (ten points after five match days), was able to stabilize itself again in comparisons with top teams before the weekend without club football. The 2-2 away draw at SV Darmstadt 98 was framed by home wins against SV 07 Elversberg (2-0) and against Karlsruher SC (4-0). The newcomer is well on the way to spending at least one worry-free season in the middle of the table.
:
Elversberg12:49
SV Elversberg has suffered some setbacks recently. After four competitive games without a win, the “Elv” started the match day in third place, but has already slipped to fifth place due to the Saturday games. If there is another defeat today, Elversberg could lose two more places in the table. Before the season, no one would have expected that the SVE would continue to perform so brilliantly, but that makes the weak phase all the more serious. You quickly get used to success, which is why it would be a strong sign if Elversberg played its way back to third place today.

In contrast to the defeat against Berlin, Lieberknecht only made one change to his starting eleven. Marlon Ritter replaces former Kieler Daniel Hanslik. The striker initially takes a seat on the bench.

After a surprisingly weak start to the season with just one point from the first five matches, 1. FC Nürnberg’s recent development is positive: the club has been unbeaten since the beginning of October and has won three of its last five games. He started November with 2-1 wins against Eintracht Braunschweig and SG Dynamo Dresden. Immediately before the international break in Saxony, FCN took the lead through Lubach after just 13 seconds; Janisch responded to the equalizer in injury time of the first half (45th + 1) shortly after the break (51st).

Elversberg12:41
Before the international break there was a real crash at KSC. The Baden team lost 4-0 at Arminia Bielefeld, although it was fairly even for a long time. In the minutes around half-time, Karlsruhe lost concentration and conceded three goals between the 45th and 50th minutes. This ended the short high that the KSC thought they were on, because just a week earlier Christian Eichner’s team defeated Schalke 04. Added to this is the excellent home record with five wins from six games, which can be so important in the promotion race. However, you can’t afford such blatant slip-ups like against Bielefeld.

Karlsruher SC welcomes SV 07 Elversberg. Both teams want to stay in touch with the promotion places. Welcome!

Kiel12:32
Most recently there were only two points from three games in Kaiserslautern. In order not to lose touch with the top places in the table any further, the eighth place in the table urgently needs three points. And the best way to do that is today at the home game against the guests from the north. But even at home the shoe was a bit tight recently. It was not possible to win against Hertha (0:1) and Nuremberg (1:1). For head coach Torsten Lieberknecht, two teams will meet that “have a very man-oriented style”. For the FCK coach, “the form of the day will play a decisive role”.
