1.FC Kaiserslautern - VfL Bochum

Floodlight time at „Betzenberg“ where Kaiserslautern hosts VfL Bochum. The home team can continue their run at home with 6 wins out of 7 matches (Cup match included) and with the next one they jump up to second place and put some pressure on the other teams around them what is very important at this period now. Only Düsseldorf was able to get a Point in Lautern where they lead long time but conceded in the end the equalizer. Bochum comes now to “Betzenberg” without a win in 7 games but they must try to be the first team who win there. According to table situation they must know that soon it can be the same as last season therefore they must invest all they have available now not to lose at least otherwise the situation is getting worse again.

All is prepared for the next win, Coach Runjaic has all the players from the last game in Leipzig ready again, only behind Löwe is a small questionmark after his light injury in this last game. If he must pass, his replacement is young Jean Zimmer who played already some matches on this position. Nevertheless it is planned to start with the same lineup and with the same system as recently practiced. Maybe a bit more offensive minded as in Leipzig but they basis is the same. If Coach Runjaic thinks about his starting lineup maybe he can decide to change the attackers. This means that Hofmann is replaced by Lakic and he must come from bench again. Hofmann has a great night in Cup against Fürth where he scored twice but was more as unlucky against Leipzig. And while Lakic is back after his slight back problems he can start here. Behind the only attacker playing three offensive minded players which were Stöger, Younes and Matmour in the last game and they were not so bad at all what means that they get a new chance today. Of course the alternatives are huge on these positions because with Gaus and Fomitschow they have two in the back who can replace one of the three mentioned above. The Coach can be very pleased with the options anyway.


A lot of troubles after the huge negative run from Bochum. Additional after the Cup knock out in Dresden and the heavy lose against 1860 last weekend. The supporters were not very pleased about the performance and they are very angry now. Against 1860 they want that they fire Coach Neururer and also the first keeper Luthe after his big mistake was one of the guys they are do not like anymore. They need some stabilizer in team but no one is there at the moment, they all have to do with themselves and the bad situation. Maybe the former Lautern player Simunek is one of these players who can lead the team but he is injured. Timo Perthel is back from injury and he can play for Holthaus here. No more other changes expected due to less alternatives now. The only change can be that Weis returns on bench again and Sestak plays in attack beside Terrode or behind him and Gregoritsch plays beside. Both options are possible. It is a change to a more fast style of play and go for counter attacks.
