The Bundesliga 2 meeting at Fritz-Walter-Stadion on Sunday sees home side Kaiserslautern take on guests Schalke. Time to bring you the latest player updates and predicted line ups.
Kaiserslautern will be wanting a better result here following a 2-0 Bundesliga 2 loss in their previous game against Eintracht Braunschweig. It seems likely that Kaiserslautern will probably use the 3-4-1-2 formation, utilising Julian Krahl, Jan Elvedi, Luca Sirch, Jannis Heuer, Jean Zimmer, Tim Breithaupt, Filip Kaloc, Florian Kleinhansl, Marlon Ritter, Ragnar Ache and Daniel Hanslik.
Hendrick Zuck and Afeez Aremu are unavailable for FCK gaffer Markus Anfang.
Possible Kaiserslautern team vs Schalke
Last time out, Schalke drew 2-2 in the Bundesliga 2 match with Hamburg. We are inclined to think that Schalke will likely begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 formation, starting the game with Justin Heekeren, Taylan Bulut, Ron Schallenberg, Marcin Kaminski, Derry Murkin, Janik Bachmann, Paul Seguin, Mehmet Can Aydin, Amin Younes, Tobias Mohr and Moussa Sylla.
Schalke boss Kees van Wonderen has to choose a team with limited availability. Ralf Fährmann (Torn lateral knee ligament), Christopher Antwi-Adjei (Hamstring injury), Aris Bayindir (Hamstring injury), Niklas Barthel (Torn muscle fiber), Loris Karius (Calf injury) and Zaid Amoussou-Tchibara (Cruciate ligament tear) will miss out on this game.
