Expected score: Lausitzer Fuchse 2-3 Kassel
Lausitzer Fuchse host Kassel in DEL 2 on 15 November in a matchup between two mid-table sides separated by just three points. The Fuchse sit seventh with 20 points from 14 games, while Kassel occupy fifth with 23 points. These teams met in late September, when Kassel claimed a 4-2 victory away from home. The rematch offers both sides a chance to consolidate their league positions in the second half of the campaign.
Team form
Lausitzer Fuchse
Lausitzer Fuchse have posted mixed results over their last five outings. They won three of those matches—beating Regensburg 4-1 and Crimmitschau 3-2 on the road, plus defeating Bad Nauheim 3-0 at home—but also suffered two defeats. A 6-0 loss to Memmingen stands out as particularly damaging, while the 2-4 reverse to Kassel in September showed they can struggle against direct opponents. Across the five games, they scored 12 goals and conceded 13, averaging 2.4 per game for and 2.6 against.
Kassel
Kassel's recent form is more volatile. They have won three of their last five but also lost twice, including a 2-4 defeat at home to Landshut and a 3-5 loss to Crimmitschau. However, their attacking output has been sharp: they scored 20 goals across five games (4.0 per game) while conceding 17 (3.4 per game). Their 7-3 victory over Dresdner Eislowen and 4-3 win against Starbulls Rosenheim demonstrate offensive capability, though defensive consistency remains a concern.
Head-to-head
The teams met on 25 September at Kassel's home, where the visitors won 4-2. That result gives Kassel a recent edge in the head-to-head record, though the sample size remains small. The Fuchse will be motivated to reverse that outcome on home ice.
Key factors
Kassel's attacking prowess over the last five games—averaging 4.0 goals per outing—presents a genuine threat to a Fuchse defence that has conceded 2.6 per game. Conversely, Lausitzer Fuchse have shown they can score when in form, particularly in their 4-1 and 3-2 wins. The home-ice advantage may favour the Fuchse, but Kassel's recent offensive efficiency and their September victory suggest they will not be intimidated. Both sides have leaked goals at a concerning rate, which points toward an open, high-scoring contest.
Prediction
The statistical picture is extremely tight. Kassel's superior offensive output over recent weeks and their head-to-head advantage give them a marginal lean, but the Fuchse's home-ice status and recent wins keep this match in genuine dead-heat territory. Expected goals favour Kassel only fractionally (3.17 to 3.05), and the predicted regulation-time score of 2-3 reflects how narrow the margin is. This is too close to call with confidence; the outcome hinges on which team's defence holds up better on the night.
This is too close to separate. Kassel carry a slight lean as the away pick, but the match is a coin-flip. The Fuchse's home advantage and recent form offer legitimate grounds to back them, while Kassel's attacking efficiency and September victory over this opponent provide equal justification for the opposite view. Expect a competitive, open game with goals likely at both ends. For tactical analysts, the key will be monitoring which side's defence adapts better to the opponent's offensive patterns.
