They pleasantly surprised all with their good results in the last season. They easily got to the 1st spot in the German 3. Liga, enabling themselves a direct promotion to Zweite. It was expected they’d be fighting for survival in Zweite, or in the best case to be placed somewhere in the mid-table area. However, they keep on surprising the whole German football public this season as well. Due to their great performances in the first part of the season, they took a comfortable position in the upper part of the tables. With a win in this game, they will share the 3rd spot with St.Pauli, so we can expect an intense match from them and a great fight for the new points. They’ve been playing terrific at home and are certainly not afraid of the ex-league leader Kaiserslautern.
Most serious side next to Bielefeld
I’ve gotten an impression at the start of the season that Bielefeld and Kaiserslautern sides are the most serious candidates for winning this year’s Zweite and promoting to Bundesliga. The situation hasn’t changed after 13 rounds have been played, as we’re all awaiting to see the outcome of this match. The only thing that did change is the first-placed team in the standings as Bielefeld and Kaiserslautern switched their places, while St.Pauli was also 1st at one point. With a win in this game, K’Lautern would get back to the top of the tables, and come 2 points near winning the autumn league title. They possess great quality and faith in their own capabilities. There’s a huge dose of optimism in their squad, so it’s unlikely to expect they will be making any calculations in this game. They will attack from minute on, and seek the way for winning new points.
Both teams will score
There’s no doubt that we’re awaiting the derby of the round in Zweite tonight. Union Berlin is hosting Kaiserslautern at home, a team that’s aiming very high this season – wanting the title in Zweite, and promotion to Bundesliga. The hosts’ ambitions, after some great results, are dramatically changing. They also want to get to Bundesliga now, so they will be going for a win against the great visiting team. I expect an interesting clash, and a game where both teams will score at least once, so the over 2.5 should be a very decent bet.
