Karlsruhe (dpa / lno) - Coach Christian Eichner from the second division soccer club Karlsruher SC has warned against expecting a tired or complacent opponent Holstein Kiel after the cup surprise.
"We need a performance similar to that against Greuther Fürth, so as not only to bring dirty laundry from Kiel," said the 38-year-old before the away game on Sunday (1.30 p.m. / Sky).
Because the promotion candidate, who had won the cup on penalties against FC Bayern, is peppered with enormous game intelligence.
Against Fürth, the KSC had surprisingly prevailed 3-2.
In addition to striker Babacar Gueye (training deficit after corona disease) and left-back Dirk Carlson (back problems), winger Marco Djuricin will no longer take the eight-hour bus trip to Kiel.
"I was completely surprised by the exit," admitted Eichner on Friday.
The 28-year-old Austrian asked for his contract to be terminated earlier this week.
