In the top game of the 2.Bundesliga, Eintracht Braunschweig and the 1.FC Kaiserslautern meet on Monday evening. While the table leader is highly satisfied with the start of the season, the guests are in a crisis after just one victory from eight completed game days. This venue is the Eintracht Stadium.
Formcheck Braunschweig
Eintracht Braunschweig is the team of the hour in the 2nd Bundesliga and has a two points lead over Hannover 96 at the Tabellenspitze. They had a defeat this season (0-2 against VfB Stuttgart), otherwise they have a proud record of six wins and a draw. Their goal ratio is 17: 7. With 17 goals scored, they are the most dangerous offensive in the league. In addition, they are incredibly strong at home and were able to win all games in front of their home crowd this season. Her previous opponents were Würzburg, Nuremberg, Sandhausen and Düsseldorf. Against this and before their own fans, they have a hit rate of three goals scored per game. Their best goal scorer and leader of the scorer list is Dominick Kumbela. He had already met six times.
On the previous day the team of coach Torsten Lieberknecht against the 1.FC Heidenheim did not really get into the game and got into the first half with 0: 1 behind. Only after the equalizer of Dominick Kumbela it was for them a lot on eye. In the end they had to be satisfied with a 1: 1 point spread. Against their upcoming opponent, 1.FC Kaiserslautern, both games ended in the past season with a draw (0: 0/1: 1). Torsten Lieberknecht will be without captain Marcel Correia, Julius Biade and Suleiman Abdullahi on Monday.
Formcheck Kaiserslautern
The start of the 1.FC Kaiserslautern season was more than disappointing. They won only one victory from their eight-day matchdays. There were three draws and four defeats. This results in relegation place 16, which of course the club can not be completely satisfied. They are also frightened by only four goals scored, which are currently the weakest offensive in the league. This is partly due to the fact that many new entrants do not yet work. There were lots of problems against “smaller” teams, such as the 2-0 against Sandhausen, the 0: 3 against Heidenheim and the second matchday in Würzburg. In front of a strange audience, they could only score a goal. Their most successful scorer is Jacques Zoua, who scored half of all FCK goals.
Before the national league, coach Tayfun Korkut’s team had a goalless draw against Arminia Bielefeld. It was a weak cellar duel, in which lighting ideas and wit were scarce. There were only a few clear options, so the result was not a surprise. Marcel Gaus, his left-back defender, saw the traffic light card 20 minutes before the end. The only light on the sides of the 1.FC Kaiserslautern before the duel against Eintracht Braunschweig is their positive balance. They have been unbeaten for nine times. Injured on Monday are Mensur Mujdza, Daniel Halfar, Jacques Zoua, Kacper Przybylko and Sebastian Jacob. Marcel Gauss is missing due to a ban.
