Team News

Kaiserslautern
Magdeburg
  • Expect just one change from Friedhelm Funkel this weekend with attacking midfielder Marlon Ritter set to replace Kenny Redondo in the starting line-up.
  • Aaron Opoku and Afeez Aremu are struggling with the flu and are doubtful for the visit of Magdeburg this weekend.
  • Christian Titz could opt for the same starting XI that faced Osnabrück last weekend when his side travels to the Fritz-Walter-Stadion on Saturday.
  • Mohammed El Hankouri and Jean Hugonet are among five confirmed absentees for the home side this weekend.

Prediction

  • Kaiserslautern pulled off a remarkable 3-1 away win last weekend as Filip Kaloc and Marlon Ritter scored late in each half to seal victory against former league leaders Holstein Kiel. That result ended a run of five league games without a win and has boosted the home side out of the bottom three, two points clear of 17th-placed Hansa Rostock.
  • Bryan Teixeira's penalty put Magdeburg in front for just three minutes last weekend as Dave Gnaase levelled from the spot and sent Osnabrück home from the MDCC-Arena with a point. Christian Titz's side are now unbeaten in their last four 2. Bundesliga outings, although three of those matches have been draws.
