background information on the form of the teams

The Karlsruher SC showed a changeable performance last season in the 2nd Bundesliga. After a strong start under coach Christian Eichner, the team lost stability.

Sportfreunde Lotte, on the other hand, made aware of the regional league season with a promising start. After three victories, the hope of a good cup game and a possible sensation was great. Nevertheless, in this case the experience and the individual quality of the Karlsruhe SC team has been the decisive factor and confirmed the Tradition of the cup in which the skills and fitness are often decisive.
