This evening Kaiserslautern hosts Energie Cottbus to finish Round 6 in 2.Bundesliga. After many of the other promotion contenders as Fortuna Düsseldorf, 1860 Munich and Greuther Fürth were not such successful this weekend, this can be a great opportunity for Kaiserslautern to jump with a win on the second place. But they need a much better performance as last time where they lost in Aalen 0-4 what was unbelievable and the reason to fire Coach Foda. Therefore they have to increase their performance a lot. Especially with Cottbus they face a very strong opponent who could also make a big step in table with a win.
After Coach Foda was fired this week Kaiserslautern’s previous fitness trainer Oliver Schäfer is sitting on the bench as interim coach and will be assisted by team manager Roger Lutz. The duo has at least the chance to recommend for a permanent engagement according to the official statements of club boss Stefan Kuntz, for which, however, a victory would be necessary. What changes the new coaching duo will do to previous week remains to be seen. But overall from too many personal changes are more likely not to be assumed. Therefore it seems that Schäfer gives the same lineup a chance of reparation apart from suspended striker Idrissou whose place probably takes Zoller. Is also likely, that Fortounis loses his place in the starting eleven, and Occean begins instead of him as second striker. Maybe this can be a good choice above all in home matches Kaiserslautern should be as dominant as they can. Their fans are there and they push their team very well.
Same situation for Cottbus as Kaiserslautern has, also they lost last match and they miss their top scorer Sanogo with suspension. This is a big blow because he scored already 6 times and was the man in the past for Cottbus. For him can get Mosquera a chance from beginning but he was not on his best level and if he was in team he disappointed a lot. Very important is the return from striker Jendrisek who got injured in training but is ready for the match against his former club. He is for sure motivated against his old team mates. Besides Sanogo coach Rudi Bommer has yet to replace a second suspended player with Alexander Bittroff. His place can get the new singed Hungarian Svab who will celebrate his debut as left back here. The missing players hurt Cottbus and overall make them a bit weaker above all in offensive they must improve a lot without Sanogo.
