1.FC Kaiserslautern - Greuther Fürth

After a very good start with two wins in a row 2015 put Kaiserslautern up under the top three. Therefore they want continue the way and hold the pressure on the other teams high but they suffered a major damper with a 0-2 lose to FSV last weekend. For this reason they are out of the top three now and only on fourth place but nothing has happen because they have all 38 Points from second to fourth place and the opportunity is big for Kaiserslautern to climb this weekend but they have to win anyway. On the other side Fürth is doing very bad 2015 and they were not able to score 2015 and had bad results as well. According to this reason they fired Coach Kramer and installed their former Coach Büskens who should lead them to better times again.

Kaiserslautern’s Coach Runjaic was not very pleased with the performance in Frankfurt and had some hard words about his team. He said that he wants to change on some positions. The first one means central back where Heintz got injured and is out longer, first replacement is Heubach who plays beside Orban today. No other changes expected in defensive line but maybe Jean Zimmer replace Schulze is a possible one. But Zimmer is needed on the offensive wing because Stöger could not use his change last weekend and is out of the starting lineup again. It depends also on the system Runjaic wants to use, if he plays again 4-2-3-1 it is a more defensive minded compared to the last home game against Aalen where he used two strikers with Hofmann and Zoller. Sure not in the squad are Demirbay, Stöger and Younes who all were a big disappointment against FSV and are out of today’s squad. Back in the squad is Matmour who had some injury problems recently.

The big reset button is used at Fürth and they return to old times because with Büskens they had their biggest success with leads to 1.Bundesliga but only after one Season they must go down immediately. In this season Büskens was sucked but return again now. All players hoping for a new chance and are motivated to show the skills in training. It is very open if Coach Büskens makes a lot of changes or count on the same as Kramer. Clear is that Weilandt is back in squad and starts today compared to the last games and to Kramer’s opinion. Also Philp, Gießelmann, Sukalo and Stiepermann are options for the starting eleven who are all no factors in the past under Kramer. 

Both teams meet each other 15 times and the outcome is almost even. Kaiserslautern could win 7 times while Fürth could decide 6 games for them, the other 2 games ended draw. At “Betzenberg” Kaiserslautern has a slight advantage with 4-1-2. The last 3 games were won from Kaiserslautern in their Arena. The last one was a Cup game which ended 2-0 for them 2014.
