Kaiserslautern
Last season was a mixed bag for Kaiserslautern. On one hand, the "Red Devils" made a sensational run to the final of the DFB-Pokal, where they lost to the new German champions, Bayer Leverkusen. On the other hand, they barely avoided relegation from the 2. Bundesliga, finishing 13th, having occupied a relegation spot for much of the season before a strong finish saved them.
Following the season, the experienced coach Friedhelm Funkel departed, with Markus Anfang stepping in to replace him. In their first match under Anfang, Kaiserslautern secured a 2-1 away victory against newly promoted Ulm.
Greuther Fürth
Greuther Fürth failed to contend for promotion last season despite having the resources to do so. The "Cloverleaves" finished 8th, 13 points adrift of the promotion playoff spot. However, this season, head coach Alexander Zorniger is building a team that looks capable of challenging for promotion.
In the opening round of the new season, Greuther Fürth, like Kaiserslautern, defeated a league newcomer, Preußen Münster, with a confident 3-1 victory. Zorniger's team dominated throughout the match, although the first half ended 1-1. The "Cloverleaves" pulled away in the second half to secure a comfortable win.
Interesting Facts and Head-to-Head History
- Last season, Greuther Fürth defeated Kaiserslautern twice, with scores of 2-1 and 2-0.
- Only 2 out of the 26 matches between these teams have ended in a draw.
Kaiserslautern vs Greuther Fürth prediction
Both Kaiserslautern and Greuther Fürth excel in attack but have significant defensive issues. My bet is that both teams will score.
