Team News

Kaiserslautern
  • Tobias Sippel will replace the injured Kevin Trapp in goal.
  • Jan Simunek and Rodnei could start at centre-back again, although manager Kurz has several other options in this position.
  • Leon Jessen could replace the injured Alexander Bugera at left-back once again.
  • Ariel Borysiuk and Pierre de Wit could start in central midfield, allowing Christian Tiffert to switch to the right wing.
  • With Dorge Kouemaha and Itay Shechter injured, Sandro Wagner and Richard Sukuta-Pasu could start up front.
Wolfsburg
  • Josué and Makoto Hasebe compete for a spot in central midfield.
  • Patrick Helmes could get his chance to start alongside Giovanni Sio up front, although Sebastian Polter is an option for the starting line-up as well.

Prediction

  • After four losses in a row, Kaiserslautern need a result at home to stay competitive in relegation battle. The team is without a win in 13 games.
  • Wolfsburg have lost their last two games in a row as well and after his shopping spree in January, manager Magath needs to se results on the pitch now.
  • Expect this to be close game. Wolfsburg have more quality in several positions, but it remains to be seen if they can finally improve their poor away form.
