Kaiserslautern vs Schalke Prediction & Tips
Kaiserslautern ended the 2024-2025 season in 7th place, with a heavy 4-0 defeat by FC Cologne, now in the Bundesliga. Lieberknecht’s side began the new season as they had ended the previous one, with a 1-0 defeat at Hannover 96 last weekend. It was the 2nd defeat in a row for Ritter’s team-mates after a poor performance against AS Roma (0-1) in their 2nd and final warm-up match on 26 July.
Schalke 04 have had a very disappointing 2024-2025 season, finishing an inglorious 14th (out of 18), 3 points clear of the play-off place. The club from Gelsenkirchen have given themselves the means to achieve their ambitions this season, with a good recruitment drive and the desire to return to the top flight of German football at the end of the 2025-2026 season.
