Union Berlin vs Kaiserslautern Prediction & Betting tips
Union – Lautern, ascent of descent to descent. The 1. FC Union Berlin has lost some ground with three victorious games, is a table top with two points behind third place and only three meters distance to the leadership duo but still thick in the ascent race. The 1. FC Kaiserslautern, however, is in the middle of the relegation. The Red Devils are only two counters before the relegation station 16 and three points before the first direct descent rank.
After 12 matches, Union can only look back on a win against the FCK. Lautern, on the other hand, won five duels on six draws. In Berlin the Pfälzer won twice with three draws and a defeat.
Union Berlin :
The 1. FC Union Berlin has played with 28 points a good first round, which could have been even better. The latter does not apply to the start in the previous round, but the Iron brought from the first eight games in the new year 22 of 24 possible points. Meanwhile Arminia Bielefeld (3: 1), Karlsruher SC (2-1), against TSV 1860 Munich (2-0), against the Würzburger Kickers (2-0), FC St. Pauli (2-1) ) And against the 1. FC Nürnberg (1: 0) even six victories in a row, before the series with a 2: 2 defeat at Hannover 96 an end. And this bankruptcy has obviously left its mark, because in the Erzgebirge Aue Union lost immediately afterwards. Last weekend, Union at Fortuna Dusseldorf at least once again scored a counter, but after a 2-0 lead the 2-2 at the end of course was not satisfactory.
Only Benjamin Köhler is safe, while Stephan Fürstner could be an option again three weeks after a knee surgery. Open whether coach Jens Keller as in Düsseldorf in the 4-4-2 play or return to the actually proven 4-3-3.
Probable lineup: Mesenhöler – Trimmel, Leistner, Puncec, Pedersen – Skrzybski, Kroos, Daube, Redondo – Polter, Hosiner
Kaiserslautern :
At the end of the first round, 19 points were a decent intermediate result, taking the wrong start with only six points from the first nine games. In the new year, the new coach Norbert Meier, who had surrendered the surprisingly resigned Tayfun Korkut, did not go well with a 0-1 defeat at Hannover 96, but the Pfälzer from the three matches against the Würzburger Kickers (1 : 0), Fortuna Dusseldorf (1: 1) and SV Sandhausen (3-0) seven points. However, the FCK could not confirm this move and remained victorious six times in a row with just three draws. With the 2-0 against the SpVgg Greuther Fürth Lautern last weekend but an enormously important threesome.
After the victory against Fürth is an unchanged starterf well possible. Only the short-term because of muscular problems failed captain Daniel Halfar could move into the team. Not expected to be the long-time injured mensur Mujdza and Patrick Ziegler (muscle problems).
Probable position: Pollersbeck – Vucur, Ewerton, Heubach – Mwene, Cook, Gaus – Moritz, Kerk – Osawe, Zoua
