Vonovia Ruhrstadion

Rösler perfect against KSC

Uwe Rösler has faced Karlsruhe twice as coach, winning both matches with Fortuna Düsseldorf in the 2020/21 season (3-2, 2-1).

Happy guests

Karlsruhe are unbeaten in their last five away matches in Bochum, picking up points in nine of their 11 Bundesliga 2 fixtures on Castroper Straße. Bochum's last home victory against KSC was over 11 years ago (1-0 in May 2014 under Peter Neururer).

Nailed-on draw?

Twelve of the 22 second division meetings between both teams have ended in a draw. There's no other team Karlsruhe have shared the points with as often in Bundesliga 2, while Bochum have otherwise only drawn 12 times against Fürth.

Reunion after four years

Bochum and Karlsruhe meet for the first time since the 2020/21 season. Back then, the away team won each time. Karlsruhe won 2-1 at the Ruhrstadion, while VfL prevailed 1-0 at the Wildpark despite being a man down.

2:10
