Erzgebirge Aue - 1.FC Kaiserslautern

Both team have to play for something here. Aue has a lot to do to avoid releagation while Kaiserslautern had all in their hand but gave this away last weekend with the lose to St. Pauli. They need help from other teams to get back on 2nd place and manage the direct promotion. Both teams Aue 16. And Kaiserslautern 3. are on places which makes them not very happy. They want to climb up at least one but for this they should win both last games. Therefore this can be a very interesting one.

Aue is in good shape and they won 4 of their last 6 games what put them in this position they are now. Of course it is not the best but the are still alive and they can fight till the end for their aim. The team from Aue do really well and they are working as team what is very important in relegation trouble. Coach Stipic has formed a good and balanced team.

Coach Stipic was very pleased with the results lately and he wants to field the same lineup who won twice recently. All guys are ready, only Novikovas has to pass what means that Coach Stipic has a lot to choose and a lot to choose in running too. With Alibaz and Kortzorg they have to creative players while Klingbeil and Paulus are really defenisve specialists. With Mugosa they have a player in their rows who comes form Kaiserslautern on loan and he wants to bring in all to hold them in 2.Bundesliga. In this case he has to hurt his former club here. The form is there as he scored 3 goals in the last 2 games.

After two defeats in a row Kaiserslautern fall down but all are very positive and they are very happy to be in the race for promotion. They want to try all to get back on 2nd place. The motivation is there and the team is working hard for this aim under the week. Nevertheless they big problems in front of the goal.

The last game was not the best and it is very possible that Coach Runjaic changes a lot today. The first one is maybe in goal, Sippel returns and replace Müller there. In defensive Heubach is back and he can replace weak Heintz. The offenisve part is absolutely less an alternatives because with Matmour and Gaus are two creative players injured while Stöger is suspended today. This is not the best time as mentioned the offenisve is the biggest problem right now above all scoring. With Hofmann can play a tall guy in the box while Zoller comes over the wing and play also beside Hofmann in some periods of the game. Whatever it is needed. Next big problem is maybe that they never could win in Aue !!!
