Team News

Kaiserslautern
Karlsruher SC
  • Markus Anfang will be forced into at least two changes with Ragnar Ache sidelined through injury and Filip Kaloc suspended after crossing the yellow card threshold.
  • Their absences could open up space for Marlon Ritter and Richmond Tachie to return to the starting XI.
  • Central midfielder Leon Jensen has served his suspension and should return to the starting XI, although Dzenis Burnic is now unavailable after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season against Hamburg.
  • While Jensen is set to return on Saturday, no further changes are expected from Christian Eichner.

Prediction

  • Kaiserslautern impressed at both ends against Schalke in gameweek 14 as they romped to a 3-0 away win at the VELTINS-Arena. After a slow start to the campaign, Markus Anfang's side have found their form - they have climbed to third in the 2. Bundesliga table and are unbeaten in six league fixtures.
  • Karlsruher responded well after falling behind against Hamburg last time out, equalising through Fabian Schleusener, but Christian Eichner's men struggled in the second half and went on to lose 3-1. KSC have now won just one of their last five league games, dropping to fifth in the standings in the process.
