1.FC Kaiserslautern - 1.FC Nürnberg

These two teams had meet each other several times in 1.Bundesliga already but times has changed hardly for both. They are aiming for more in 2.Bundesliga but it is far away because both has a lot of problems. Of course they want soon back in 1.Bundesliga but FCK is trying it some years now and failed always while Nürnberg had a hard last Season after were relegated from 1.Bundesliga. This is their second Season in a row there now but they are doing only average and this is too less for the top.

After two defeats in a row Kaiserslautern got a Point in Munich by 1860. Coach Runjaic said that this was a step forward but if you have watched the game it was nothing form them. If they lose this encounter it is not sure if he sit on bench at the weekend. The pressure is high and he has to deliver results according to their big aim promotion.
Before the game in Munich he has changed the defensive line what is expected to be the same again. In this case Ziegler got the advantage against Vucur while ahead in midfield plays Ring central. On the wings are Halfar and Jenssen candidates. But overall they have to be much more powerful and bring the offense from FCK rolling. According to the last games it was harmless and therefore some changes in attack maybe possible. It is not far away that Görtler gets a chance today because Coach Runjaic talked very well from him. Out of the starting lineup are Pich or Piossek, one of them are for sure on bench but it can be both because they missed almost all lately. Also attacker Przybylko could not convince in the last games, the only good game he had in opening game against Duisburg. All the other matches were weak and he wasted a lot.

After 10 Points out of 4 home games Nürnberg coming to "Betzenberg" to collect the first Points on the road. They are very harmless away from home and they coming with 3 defeats in bag. Coach Weiler mentioned that they have to be much more active and accept the fight. Compared to the last game changes can be as Coach Weiler said with 3 games in 1 week he has to find the right balance and look which player has the freshness to help the team right now. But overall it is not expected that he changes much above all after the good game against Sandhausen on sunday. In this case defender Bulthuis can remain in central back maybe although Margreitter is back from illness and ready. What gives Coach Weiler a good option for a change.
It is very exciting with which midfield he wants to begin here. With Behrens and Leibold were two guys very good against Sandhausen but with Polak coming a player in who scored and maybe decide the match with his goal. But on "Betzenberg" where they face surely a very hot atmosphere it can be good to have some experienced player in team like Polak. The other positions maybe remain unchanged. Out for the game are Mössmer and Kerk who are both injured.
