Bundesliga Match in Kiel: Šimić Still Lacks Goals Scoring Record

The second division is set for an exciting clash as two Baden coaches, Christian Eichner of Karlsruhe SC and Marcel Rapp of Holstein Kiel, go head-to-head in a highly-anticipated match.

Both coaches have a rich history, having played together in the Oberliga for KSC in their youth. Eichner, a native of Karlsruhe, and Rapp, hailing from Pforzheim, have made their mark in the second division, with their current teams being the only unbeaten sides this season.

Karlsruhe SC has been a force to reckon with, boasting the only undefeated record in the league. Fabian Schleusener, an undisputed starter for the team, has scored twice in their impressive run, earning praise from Eichner for his goals, work against the ball, and secured balls.

However, Eichner is still searching for a fixed striking duo, with Roko Šimić, a new signing for Karlsruhe SC, not yet finding his form. Šimić has only scored one goal so far and faces competition from other new signings for a fixed spot in the striking duo.

Meanwhile, Holstein Kiel's defense, including Loris Karius in goal, has been solid. Karius, who has made only three saves this season, holds the best save percentage in the 2. Bundesliga. Defender Hans Christian Bernat, a new signing for Karlsruhe SC, has made the best record in the league with only three saves in defense.

Philipp Förster and Shio Fukuda are among the players competing with Šimić for a spot in the striking duo of Karlsruhe SC. The game between Karlsruhe SC and Holstein Kiel is scheduled for 13:30 CET and will be broadcast on Sky.

Eichner and Rapp have a friendly relationship, with Eichner describing Rapp as a nice guy with a good heart. The duel between these two Baden coaches promises to be a thrilling spectacle for football fans across Germany.
