Expected score: Kassel 4-2 Landshut
Kassel hosts Landshut in DEL 2 on 18 October in a matchup that pits the second-placed side against a struggling sixth-place team. The hosts arrive as clear favourites, backed by superior league position, recent offensive output, and a defensive record that has tightened considerably over their last five outings.
Team form
Kassel
Kassel have won 3 of their last 5 DEL 2 matches, posting 20 goals across that stretch at 4.0 per game. Their sole recent league defeat came against Crimmitschau (3–5 on 2 October), but they bounced back with wins over Lausitzer Fuchse (4–2) and Starbulls Rosenheim (4–3). Most impressively, they dismantled Dresdner Eislowen 7–3 away on 18 September, demonstrating their capacity to dominate. Defensively, they conceded 17 goals in five games (3.4 per game), a respectable rate for an attacking side.
Landshut
Landshut's recent form is deeply concerning. They have won only 2 of their last 5 DEL 2 matches and conceded 20 goals across that period—4.0 per game—a rate that ranks them among the league's leakier defences. Their last two outings have been particularly damaging: a 1–5 home loss to Crimmitschau on 9 October and a 2–5 home defeat to Dresdner Eislowen on 4 October. They managed a 3–2 away win at Freiburg and a 2–1 home victory over Starbulls Rosenheim, but those successes are overshadowed by heavy defeats to Regensburg (3–7) and their latest collapse. Offensively, they have managed only 2.2 goals per game, a significant shortfall.
Head-to-head
No head-to-head record exists between these sides in the available data.
Key factors
Kassel's offensive efficiency stands in sharp contrast to Landshut's defensive fragility. The hosts have scored at double the rate of their visitors over the last five games (4.0 versus 2.2 goals per game), while Landshut's defence has conceded at nearly 1.2 times Kassel's rate. Kassel's league position (2nd, 17 points) reflects consistent performance; Landshut's sixth-place standing (13 points) masks a team in freefall. The hosts' ability to generate volume—evidenced by their 7–3 demolition of Dresdner Eislowen—should prove decisive against a Landshut side that has surrendered 5 or more goals in two of their last three matches. Kassel's home advantage compounds this disparity.
Prediction
The data strongly favours Kassel. They hold a commanding edge in recent form, offensive output, and defensive solidity. Landshut's alarming defensive record and lack of offensive punch make them vulnerable to a side that has demonstrated the ability to score in volume. Kassel's 17-point haul from 8 matches reflects a team performing at a higher level than their visitors' 13-point tally. The hosts should control possession and create the clearer chances. While Landshut may score—they have netted in four of their last five outings—they are unlikely to contain Kassel's attack.
Kassel are strong favourites to win. The hosts should prevail with a convincing margin, with the balance of recent evidence pointing to a high-scoring affair in their favour.
