Heidenheim vs Kaiserslautern Prediction & Betting tips
Heidenheim – Lautern, while some were able to free themselves last, the others are still stuck deep in the mess. The 1. FC Heidenheim has worked with ten points from the last four games at least a small cushion on the relegation zone and is thus eight points ahead of 1. FC Kaiserslautern, which graces the bottom of the table and is already seven points behind the saving shore.
Both clubs met for the first time in 2014 and since then delivered six duels in the 2nd Bundesliga. Heidenheim won two of them and thus has a little better record in three draws and only one win by FCK. In Heidenheim there were two home wins and draws.
Heidenheim :
After a good start with four points from the first two games and a 4-0 victory in the DFB Cup at the SpVgg Unterhaching is the 1. FC Heidenheim with three consecutive defeats against the MSV Duisburg (1: 2), at FC St. Pauli (0: 1) and against SSV Jahn Regensburg (1: 3) get out of step early. At VfL Bochum (2: 1), against SV Darmstadt 98 (2: 2) and Arminia Bielefeld (1: 1) followed by a decent five points, but then it was against Dynamo Dresden (0: 2), against Holstein Kiel (3: 5) and at FC Ingolstadt (0: 3) again three consecutive defeats. A 5-2 win in the DFB Cup at Jahn Regensburg then turned into a turnaround. Since then, the FCH is not only unbeaten, but recorded from the four not easy games against 1. FC Nuremberg (1: 0), Fortuna Dusseldorf (2: 2), against 1 FC Union Berlin (4: 3) and last at SV Sandhausen (2: 1) considerable ten meters.
Coach Frank Schmidt is likely to cling to the last successful 4-4-2, but probably change his position in one position. Mathias Wittek returns to the central defense after the suspension has been suspended, which would allow Norman Theuerkauf to advance to midfield. Sebastian Griesbeck is missing because of an inside ligament injury.
Probable lineup: Müller – Strauss, Beermann, Wittek, Feick – Theuerkauf, Titsch – Rivero – Schnatterer, Thiel – Verhoek, Glatzel
Kaiserslautern :
With seven points from the first games of the 1. FC Kaiserslautern is completely stuck in the wings, which cost coach Norbert Meier the job. After that, it was of course even worse under the interim coach Alexander Bugera and Manfred Paula with a 0-5 pack at the 1st FC Union Berlin, before the debut of the new coach Jeff Strasser with four points from the games against SpVgg Greuther Fürth (3 : 0) and made for FC St. Pauli (1: 1) for hope. Three defeats in a row made it clear that even Strasser can not perform miracles, with it then against VfL Bochum (0: 0) and at Dynamo Dresden (2: 1) at least four out of six possible counters enough. Of course, the next setback did not wait too long with a 0: 2 against Arminia Bielefeld.
Kacper Przybylko, Osayamen Osawe and Mads Albaek, who is sorely missed in the central midfield, are still missing. Even for Marcel Correia it tends to be not enough. In general, there are hardly any promising alternatives to the eleven last week.
Probable lineup: Müller – Mwene, Vucur, Ziegler, Abu Hanna – Seufert, Moritz – Borrello, Halfar – Spalvis, Andersson
