Kaiserslautern
St. Pauli
- Jean Zimmer will miss this opening-day clash through suspension after he was sent off during the early stages of last season's final-day fixture against Fortuna Düsseldorf.
- Jan Elvedi, Tobias Raschl and Ragnar Ache could all make their debuts on Saturday after joining from other 2. Bundesliga sides.
- St. Pauli poached Holstein Kiel captain Hauke Wahl over the summer, with the experienced centre-back set to make his debut on the opening day.
- Jackson Irvine is nursing a minor injury heading into the season, so expect Eric Smith to partner Marcel Hartel in central midfield.
- With Lukas Daschner out of the picture, Dapo Afolayan could be the man chosen to lead the line for the start of the campaign.
