This is the opening game of the 2.Bundesliga in Germany today. Two traditional teams meet each other for the start of the Season. We can expect a very interesting game and also a new start from both sides. This happen because Hannover was relegated and have to build up a new team but the aim is clear, the return into the highest league again. On the other side the home team Kaiserslautern had a very disappointing last Season what put them in a position to make some things new. Both are aiming for better times right now and it would be interesting to see which team is able to get the job done.
In his first match for the new club meet Coach Korkut his former club where he was working until April. Maybe this can be an advantage for him but the team is not the same as under him and with Stendel they changed a lot. Nevertheless it can be a lot of emotions for Korkut and also some fighting spirit to show that it was the wrong decision to fire him. He wants to beat his former club of course but for this he can not count on his strongest lineup right now. With Klich he has an important midfield player out for sure, the other two Piossek and Jacob trained less in the past days due to illness. Also striker Pryzbylko is a big doubt with a foot injury and additional he can not count on EM Hero Bödvarsson because he was sold this week. This means one striker less in squad what bring them more and more in a difficult position maybe.
According to the situation in offense he plans with Osawe as lone attacker who should be supported from the offensive midfield with Halfar, Gaus and Görtler. The defensive midfield can be build with Ring and Moritz where both has his place in the starting lineup for sure. Behind this both starts a new defense, first one in goal with Weis who came from relegated FSV Frankfurt. With Mwene, Vucur, Ziegler and Aliji he has an absolutely new defensive line and it needs maybe some time until this is working well for FCK.
It was the worst case for Hannover 96 last Season when they lost 23 of their 34 league games. After the big disaster they were relegated of course and have to start absolutely new now. After the awful last Season Coach Stendel got an almost new squad to work with. The focus was absolutely on the offense where they have a lot of potential now. With this new power promotion is a must for them anyway.
With Füllkrug (1.FC Nürnberg / 14 goals) and Harnik (VfB Stuttgart) they got some very good offensive players to their squad where both should help to get more power there. With Füllkug and Harnik over the wings and Sobiech up front they want to be as dangerous as they can but for today it looks like that Stendel can not count on his new offensive line. According to news is Füllkrug out with injury and this is the chance for Klaus to start. In midfield they planned with new signing Bakalorz who came from SC Paderborn but his out injured too. He will be replaced by Fossum who plays beside new captain Schmiedebach today.
In central back can Coach Stendel still count on Sane who wants to leave the club (mabe to Cologne) but the clubs could not find a solution so far. So far Sane is there he will start and lead youngster Anton beside him. After keeper Zieler left the club to England’s champion Leicester they try to find a good replacement but it was not as easy. For the match today the more experienced player Tschauner (30 years and know the league from former club St. Pauli) may starts but it is only probation. But if he is not able to organize his defensive line and give them some stability Coach Stendel will changes to one of the youngsters like Königsmann (19 years) or Radlinger (23 years). Therefore a good performance is needed to hold the position.
