This is the last match from Round 8 but it is a traditional match between two teams who should play in 1.BL normally. After a long time in 2.BL Kaiserslautern is on a good way this season and with 14 Points on their side close to the top. This season they do not talk from promotion and look only from game to game what makes it maybe a bit more easy for them. They have not the pressure as in last years and allow them also weaker games. On the other side Nürnberg was talking a lot before the season and their goals was promotion but after losing 5 from 7 games already it is hard to hold this goal alive. Now they have to look that they get more stability in their play and results to get out of the bottom zone. The fans are very angry about the team and management and it makes it not easier for them anyway.
The pressure is hugh in Nürnberg at the moment above all on Coach Ismael and Manager Bader. Nevertheless Coach Ismael is trying all to get the team back on track. After late news he suspended keeper Schäfer and replace him with young Rakovsky. He said that he wants to count on younger players who follow him more and also are more motivated as the old ones. A big step he made here and hopefully it is not a disadvantage for him. The next veteran captain Polak is suspended today and must be replaced additional. This means the system plan can be 4-1-4-1 with only Mössmer in central midfield. For Polak can move Füllkrug as offensive guy into the first eleven. A lot of more changes are possible according to the weak performance under the week in Heidenheim. In attack Sylvestr has not the power from last season what gives Mlapa the chance to begin today. The rest is also very open, we will see a very young lineup but for FCN fans hopefully a hungry one.
The team from Kaiserslautern can go on top with a win today. This is motivation enough for them anyway but they are not the best traveler as we saw past seasons. Not much to say about the team because they won the last match with 1-0 to Union Berlin and Coach Runjaic said that he will give the same lineup his trust. They are in good shape at the moment and all parts of the team worked very well the only thing they have to improve is in front of the target. They wasted a lot against Union above all Hofmann who came from bench had a big big miss. Therefore Lakic starts again and Hofmann must on bench again. Hard decision is also Gaus who has lost the fight to Stöger at the moment.
