FC Heidenheim - 1.FC Kaiserslautern

After the national break we walk on at our leagues and we have some nice games ahead above all Heidenheim against Kaiserslautern is an interesting one. A lot of experts have Kaiserslautern on their list for a promotion spot and they are doing well this season so far with 17 Points they are close to the leader Ingolstadt while the newcomer Heidenheim is a big surprise so far with already 15 Points collected after 9 matches. No one had this team on the list for the upper places but if they continue this way they are save already early in the season. Above all in their own Arena they are very hard to beat and showed their strength with an unbeaten run from 4-1-0. On the other side Kaiserslautern collected most of their Points on home ground while away from home they showed some weak performances and got at least only 2 Points out of the matches till now.

Before the break Heidenheim got a Point by strong newcomer Leipzig who has much more financial playground and is maybe not their exact level but they have a good run at the moment and the moral is excellent. Therefore it is not a big surprise that Coach Schmidt said that he wants not change much in his starting lineup from last match but they want to change the tactic a bit to a more offensive style to last road game. They played with 3 central midfield players for a more compact defending system but at home they change to two and therefore Julius Reinhardt is out of the team and one place open for the offensive. Captain Schnatterer plays over the left while right wing can be placed with Leipertz or Bagceci what count in a 4-4-2 system for today. In attack there are some options as Patrick Mayer is back from injury and he can hope for a starting place while Niederlechner is of course sure in the starting lineup. This means a battle for the last place between Mayer and Morabit.

On FCK side they have all players available what gives Coach Runjaic a lot of options. Only the long term injured Zellner is not ready yet and slight injured Mugosa but he is not for the starting lineup anyway. A lot to choose and the fight for the places were big under the week. It was a big surprise that Zimmer sit on the bench against KSC but on the other side Schulze made his job well. Both fight for this position hardly but at the end Runjaic decides. On the offensive wings they have 4-5 players for 2 positions. It means that some are disappointed today but with Gaus, Fomitschow, Jenssen, Matmour and Younes who is back from injury he has a lot to choose. In attack plays Lakic again, behind him Stöger what let Hofmann and Demirbay only the option bench.
