Kaiserslautern

WDLWLL

Kaiserslautern will be looking to improve on their last outing here after a 2-1 Bundesliga 2 defeat last time out to Greuther Furth.

In that game, Kaiserslautern managed 32% possession and 10 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. The scorer for Kaiserslautern was Ragnar Ache (18'). On the other side, Greuther Furth had 8 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. Robert Wagner (53', 95') scored for Greuther Furth.

It has been all too rare in recent games where Kaiserslautern have shown defensive steel. The reality is that Kaiserslautern have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 matches, letting in 10 goals along the way.

Going into this contest, Kaiserslautern have not beaten Wehen Wiesbaden in their last 2 league matches.

Wehen Wiesbaden

WDLLLL 📉

Since a loss in their previous game against Fortuna Dusseldorf in Bundesliga 2 competition, Wehen Wiesbaden and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

In that game, Wehen Wiesbaden had 45% possession and 4 shots at goal with 1 on target. At the other end, Fortuna Dusseldorf got 11 shots on goal with 4 on target. Shinta Appelkamp (13') and Ísak Bergmann Jóhannesson (64') scored for Fortuna Dusseldorf.

The stats don’t lie, and Wehen Wiesbaden have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, with opponents netting 10 goals overall. In defence, Wehen Wiesbaden have seen their frailties exposed. Such a trend won’t necessarily be sustained into this next game, of course.

Coming into this fixture, Wehen Wiesbaden are without an away win for the past 2 matches in the league.

🗞️ Team News: Kaiserslautern

Hendrick Zuck (Cruciate ligament tear) and Julian Niehues (Cruciate ligament tear) aren’t available for Kaiserslautern gaffer Friedhelm Funkel.

We are thinking that Kaiserslautern will possibly go for a 4-2-3-1 system for this one featuring Julian Krahl, Jean Zimmer, Boris Tomiak, Jan Elvedi, Tymoteusz Puchacz, Filip Kaloc, Tobias Raschl, Richmond Tachie, Marlon Ritter, Aaron Opoku and Ragnar Ache.

📋 Team News: Wehen Wiesbaden

Wehen Wiesbaden boss Markus Kauczinski has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Nico Rieble (Muscle injury) and Nassim El Ouarti (Ankle injury) won’t be making appearances. The players ineligible for this match because of suspension are Bjarke Jacobsen and Hyun-ju Lee.

We believe Wiesbaden seem likely to elect for a 3-1-4-2 formation using Florian Stritzel, Sascha Mockenhaupt, Martin Angha, Aleksandar Vukotic, Marcus Mathisen, Amar Catic, Robin Heußer, Julius Kade, Lasse Günther, Franko Kovacevic and Ivan Prtajin.
