After completing the first half of the 2nd Bundesliga, Fortuna Düsseldorf was still in fourth place. Because, however, after the first four match days of the second half of the season Position 18 in the second half of the season As is recorded by the Flingerans, the red-whites have now slipped to seventh place in the overall table. If Fortunen’s tip for the first three of the second half of the season doesn’t work out in Karlsruhe against Düsseldorf, that would further exacerbate the latest crisis.
Table of contents
Purely on paper, the KSC seems to be a grateful opponent for F95. The Flingerans have not lost any of their last nine second division duels against the Baden team (seven wins, two draws). The Fortunes haven’t lost away at the Wildparkstadion since 1998. However, for Karlsruhe against Düsseldorf, the forecast must also take into account that the Blue-Whites are strong at home and have only lost two of their last 18 second division home games across the seasons (eleven wins, five draws).

Betting odds as of February 15, 2024, 12:05 p.m
Given these signs, it is almost impossible to give a tip on the outcome of the game. However, there are very promising alternatives to the three-way system: betting on a high-scoring duel in the Wildpark Stadium. Not only did F95 always score at least two goals against KSC in the last eight duels, but the Flingerans also scored With 44 goals, it is also the strongest offensive in the 2nd Bundesligawhile Karlsruher SC is still in fifth place with 38 goals.
In addition, on the one hand, Baden has not kept a clean sheet in eleven second division games, while on the other hand, only HSV conceded a similar number of goals in 2024 (nine) as Düsseldorf (also nine) and Karlsruhe (eight). We therefore recommend betting on over 2.5 goals. Further betting tips for the 22nd matchday of the 2nd Bundesliga can be found in the linked matchday overview.
Karlsruhe – Statistics & current form
As a third division promoted team, Karlsruher SC was in acute danger of relegation in the 2019/20 season. But then Christian Eichner took over as coach of the German champions of 1909 and not only led the Baden team to stay in the league, but also back to quieter territory in the 2nd Bundesliga.
The blue and whites showed up again and again in the promotion race, but without really playing a major role in the fight for the top three places. With a completely balanced record (seven wins, seven draws, seven defeats), we currently have a rock-solid eleventh place in the table.
Karlsruhe was difficult to beat at home
Following a brilliant 4-3 win at Hamburger SV, there have recently been two setbacks. Against Wiesbaden (2:2) and Braunschweig (0:2) we once again conceded two goals each only one out of six possible pointswhich means that looking in the rearview mirror should not be completely neglected.
In 21st place we are “only” seven points ahead. If the Baden team slips into a long negative series, the situation could become precarious again. However, because only two of the last 18 second division home games were lost (eleven wins, five draws), it is still by no means unlikely that the tip for a KSC home win in Karlsruhe against Düsseldorf will work.

Karlsruhe has been waiting for a clean slate for a long time
However, Christian Eichner’s kickers urgently need to get their defensive negligence under control. In 2024 there have already been eight goals conceded in four competitive games, which are only topped by Düsseldorf and Hamburg (nine each).
Overall, the blue-whites have been waiting for another clean slate for eleven second division games in a row. The fact that Fortuna Düsseldorf is now coming to the Wildparkstadion, a team against which they have not won a home game since 1998 and against whom they have always conceded at least two goals in the last eight second division duels, shows how difficult the task ahead is.

Düsseldorf – Statistics & current form
After finishing fourth in the final table of the 2022/23 season, Fortuna Düsseldorf wanted to attack the top three places again in the new season under Daniel Thioune. For a long time it looked like a successful season. With only one point behind third place, the Flinger team wintered in fourth place in the table.
During the winter break, however, a lot of sand got into the gears of the German champions of 1933. The Düsseldorf team surprisingly won their ticket to the semi-finals of the DFB Cup in a penalty shootout away from league leader St. Pauli. In league play, however, F95 remained winless in all four games in 2024 (two draws, two defeats).
In the new year there is still a worm in Düsseldorf
With only two out of twelve possible points, Düsseldorf even has the Red Lantern in the second half of the season. Furthermore, no other second division team conceded more goals in the new year than the Fortunes (nine), who therefore come into the Wildparkstadion with a strong number.
Surprisingly, the bookmakers’ odds for Karlsruhe against Düsseldorf are still slightly in the direction of Daniel Thioune’s team, which is certainly also due to the fact that the Flingerans Haven’t lost a guest game in Karlsruhe’s Wildpark Stadium for more than 25 years have.
Düsseldorf is dangerous in terms of goals and is strong away from home
Overall, Düsseldorf’s away record still looks strong despite the recent failures. Only Holstein Kiel (20) and St. Pauli (19) have so far scored more points than F95 (17) in foreign places.
The 25 away goals are completely unparalleled in the 2nd Bundesliga, although the offense is known to not be the Red-Whites’ problem area. With a total of 44 goals scored, Fortuna ultimately has the strongest offensive in the 2nd Bundesliga, which in turn clearly speaks for a high-scoring Saturday night game.

On the other hand, the people of Baden are strong at home and lost only two of their last 18 second division games at the Wildparkstadion (eleven wins, five draws), while the Flingerans had the weakest start to the second half of the season of all second division teams and are in the red lantern position in the second half of the season.
