FSV Frankfurt is in downtrend after three games without a win and the mood is not the best too. They expected much more from the matches against Paderborn, Aalen and Sandhausen but they were not able to get more as a single Point out of these matches. Additional they were not able to score much in these matches, ok twice to Paderborn but in both others they had zero. Overall the situation is getting dangerous now because they are not far away from relegation zone. After harsh words from management and Coach earlier this week, they try to get their focus on the difficult taks against Kaiserslautern today. But today’s opponent is unbeaten in 7 since Kosta Runjaic stands on the sideline for the red devils. The results were all positive so far but some unlucky draws let them not climb on a promotion place. Nevertheless they want to extend this series and with a win possibly slip into the promotion ranks, because both Fürth and Berlin are now within reach. On excellent support, guests can count anyway, because approximately half of the expected 10.000 spectators will be FCK fans.
The starting lineup of FSV will change at least at three positions. Odise Roshi had a muscle injury in training this week and will sit on the bench at best. Nils Teixeira is suspended after his yellow red card of last Sunday while Manuel Konrad returns after suspension into the squad. The position on the left back take Marcel Kandziora and Konrad is set to play as usual in central midfield. In addition, there will be probably be further changes because Möhlmann tested a 4-3-3 system at Sandhausen but against Kaiserslautern he does not apply again for sure on this. It is questionable, in particular the occupation of the central midfield, which one Möhlmann let play beside Konrad. With Kauko, Yelen, Djengoue and Heitmeier he has four alternatives available today. On the left wing is likely that Epstein gets a chance again while Nikita Rukavytsya could not convince in his first starting debut and is probably on bench. Therefore the place on the attack is free for Kapllani who is the much better choise here. This means that almost the same eleven starts which celebrated the last win to begin of October where they could delivered a convincing performance at least a half time but won 3-1 to Aue.
The Red Devils must also change as with central defender Marc Torrejon is missing because of a muscle injury he had suffered in the game against St. Pauli last weekend. For him youngster Willi Orban will return into the starting lineup. Very shaky is the use of Marcel Gaus who could not impress in recent games but he came from FSV to FCK this summer and certainly is quite hot on the encounter with his former teammates. His replacement on the left wing Fortounis was always able to ensure a revival of Kaiserslautern’s offensive play after his substitutions. Therefore quite possible that he will receive a chance from the beginning today, while Gaus has to take place on bench against his former club. The things are clear here, FCK needs the win badly but they are not known as a good traveler and this can play a role here. The statistic is quite even between both at Frankfurt.
