Karlsruhe (dpa / lsw) - Despite the tight promotion race in the 2nd Bundesliga, the Karlsruher SC only wants to deal with a Bundesliga return after reaching the 40-point mark.
Before the Friday game (6.30 p.m. / Sky) at the relegation candidate SV Darmstadt 98, the Badeners rank fifth with 36 points - only six points behind the top quartet from Hamburg, Fürth, Bochum and Kiel with the same points.
If the 40 points have been reached, you can "tick it", said KSC trainer Christian Eichner on Thursday.
"Then we'll see where we can fit in with the named teams."
In Darmstadt, Eichner expects an experienced team with a top striker named Serdar Dursun.
This requires his team to "play an adult and serious away game".
On the other hand, he does not believe that this was mentally damaged last Sunday by the first defeat of the year (0-1 against Nuremberg).
"What annoyed us was that we could not hold the zero," said the 38-year-old.
On the other hand, the gap to the top group was “not at all concerned”.
