SV Sandhausen - 1.FC Kaiserslautern

Both stadiums are only 100 kilometers apart, so that one can speak of a derby. But this derby shows different situations as well. First we have newcomer Sandhausen who is 4 points behind Dynamo Dresden and with a win they can close the gap to one point and put them in a much better situations as at the moment. This would maybe bring back the faith and give an extra boost. On the other side stands giant Kaiserslautern who is in a good position in promotion race for third place but only one point ahead. Therefore they have to win this one additionally. And moreover with a win they can go with a small advantage in the next big encounter on friday where they face Cologne in their stadium for a very important match.

Bottom team Sandhausen face a lot of problems above all their have huge persoanl problems at the moment. Sure this is not the right time as the season goes into the showdown now. At national break coach Boysen had only 12 healthy players available in training. And it looks not much better today. To the 2-2 against Aalen defender Pischorn returns, also Kim Falkenberg is an option as back wing and if Schauerte can move into the midfield again. Sure out is Klotz because with some strain problems. He can be replaced from Wooten who should be huge motivated because he is on loan from Kaiserslautern. Upfront will play Mäkelä and David Ulm can be an option on the wing who gives them a bit more flexibility with his creative play.

Kaiserslautern celebrated a deserved 3-0 win against Ingolstadt at home two weeks ago  The team played well so no major changes expected. Coach Foda hopes more that they can let their scoring problems behind now and with this win and with goals from both strikers hopefully they can continue this way. Maybe the friendly match against 1860 Munich which was won 4-1 gives more hope as both scored here too. It seems that they are back in business. But if the problems returns today, what I am not expecting coach Foda has a lot to choose because with excellent striker Hoffer, midfielder Köhler and Drazan he has a lot on bench.

According to the match plan that both teams are almost in a must win situation, it is hard to see no goals here. If one team take the lead this match can be strechted wide open. Normally Sandhausen is not a team who can not create some above all at home and they scored in almost all home matches while Kaiserlsautern has returned to their aggressive penetration power. I am sure here, goals will come, sooner or later. GL
