Kaiserslautern take on the visitors Elversberg in the round 25 match of German 2.Bundesliga. The match will be played on Friday, March 7th at Fritz Walter Stadion (Kaiserslautern).
I am absolutely shocked by the odds for this match! Kaiserslautern is considered the underdog! The team is currently sharing second place in the 2. Bundesliga and has a great chance of securing promotion. Yet, they are not seen as favorites! Kaiserslautern has been playing fantastic football since returning from the winter break. The team has dropped only four points in seven matches! Losing away to Hamburg is hardly a shame, if I’m not mistaken... At home this season, Kaiserslautern has been outstanding. They have suffered only two defeats so far. In their last match, they dominated Regensburg, scoring three unanswered goals! Their recent win over Holstein Kiel, a direct competitor for promotion, further proves their strength.

Elversberg currently sits in sixth place in the league. However, the competition is extremely tight, meaning they could easily catch up to their opponent today. That said, Elversberg's away form this season has been far from ideal. With only four wins in eleven away matches, their record is hardly impressive. Many would argue that they haven't conceded in four consecutive matches and look close to perfect. But the level of opposition in those matches wasn’t the highest. I’m shocked at how everyone forgets the first two games after the break, where Elversberg completely collapsed! They conceded five goals against Magdeburg! Even in their last away game against Ulm, they barely held on, despite the opponent being of a lower caliber. Furthermore, their recent 0-0 draw against Nürnberg exposed their struggles in attack.
Elversberg lacks extensive experience even in the 2. Bundesliga. The team from the namesake town has opted for pragmatism and remained largely inactive in the transfer market. They do not shine away from home, relying heavily on defensive solidity. Jäckel and Dragun will be unavailable for Steffen's squad today. Additionally, Petkov, who missed the first match after the break due to suspension, is not in top form. Head-to-head, Kaiserslautern holds the advantage, winning five of the last seven encounters! Anfangen's team looks more composed this season. They don’t rush things and confidently control the scoreline. This season, they have been the best team in the league at winning possession back in home matches! Gyamfi, Klement, Zuck, and Yokota will be missing today, but Ache is in excellent form. He scored twice in the last match and currently sits sixth in the league's top scorer list.
Prediction for the match: Kaiserslautern not to lose (1X).
