Tobias Kempe (Medial Collateral Ligament avulsion), Patric Pfeiffer (Torn muscle bundle) and Oscar Vilhelmsson (groin strain) will be missing for Darmstadt manager Torsten Lieberknecht.

We think that Darmstadt will possibly make use of the 3-4-1-2 formation for this game with Marcel Schuhen, Clemens Riedel, Christoph Zimmermann, Jannik Mueller, Matthias Bader, Emir Karic, Marvin Mehlem, Fabian Holland, Braydon Manu, Phillip Tietz and Filip Stojilkovic.

🗞️ Team News: Kaiserslautern

From our viewpoint, Kaiserslautern seem most likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 lineup, giving starts to Andreas Luthe, Jean Zimmer, Kevin Kraus, Boris Tomiak, Hendrick Zuck, Nicolai Rapp, Marlon Ritter, Aaron Opoku, Philipp Klement, Kenny Prince Redondo and Terrence Boyd.

💡 Prediction

We believe that Kaiserslautern have the capability to put a goal past this Darmstadt lineup, but it realistically won’t be as many as the goals that they could concede.

We’re tipping a very close game with a 2-1 advantage for Darmstadt after the 90. It will be interesting to see how this one goes.
