As usual, the current round of the german 2. Bundesliga ends with the Monday night hit. The guest side of Karlsruher SC will play in the Allianz Arena against 1860 Munich. Both teams started more than bad in the new season and after two season games they are only in the second half of the table.

For the longtime KSC coach Edmund Becker the failed start in the season meant (a draw from two games) an abrupt end of his job. In Munich Markus Kauczinski will take place on the bench temporarily, having coached the Badener squad first time on this Thursday. As a successor, the former Duisburg coach Rudi Bommer and KSC legend Edgar Schmitt are traded.

In the future the opponents of 1860 Munich must get along without defensive midfielder Lars Bender. The U19 European Champion from 2008 leaves the Lienen-side in the direction of Bayer Leverkusen. Lars Bender is the fourth player from the 1860 Munich talent pool who joins a Bundesliga club. During the winter break was Timo Gebhart transfered to VfB Stuttgart, twin brother Sven is in Dortmund under contract and Fabian Johnson moved this summer to champion Wolfsburg.

Tip: I expect a victory of the home side. At the moment things are very chaotic in Karlsruhe, after the sudden sacking of former coach Eduard Becker. Best odd for a win of 1860 Munich you will find at befair with 2,12!
