Best Tip: Both teams to score

Karlsruher should have reason to feel positive ahead of this match and, funnily enough, so might Kaiserslautern. The bookies see them as well matched and so do we – there's no obvious victor in this tie. So we look to the both teams to score market, where there's far more reason to be certain. The form statistics, past head-to-head (H2H) records and bookies odds below are all pointing towards both sides scoring, and that's the bet we'd recommend you go with.
