Kaiserslautern to kick-off 2. Bundesliga campaign with a victory over St. Pauli
1896

On Saturday afternoon, Kaiserslautern and St. Pauli kick off their campaigns in the 2. Bundesliga, both looking to make a winning start to the league season.

Kaiserslautern

The Red Devils begin their 2. Bundesliga campaign hoping to start the season better than they ended last season when they finished ninth place in the table.

In fact, Kaiserslautern ended their league campaign with a six-game winless run in the German second tier, including suffering five defeats.

Towards the end of last season, Kaiserslautern’s main issue was conceding too many goals, as the home team conceded at least two goals in each of their previous four matches in the German second tier.

They have also enjoyed mixed fortunes in pre-season, winning two of their four friendly matches against Louisville City and last time out Homberg.

Their most recent matches have certainly been entertaining, as four of their last five games have produced over 2.5 goals.

St. Pauli

The visitors finished fifth place in the 2. Bundesliga last season but will be hoping to mount a promotion push this season.

They finished last season’s domestic campaign in good form with a five-game unbeaten run.

St. Pauli has taken their good end-of-season form into pre-season, ending their 2. Bundesliga campaign with a five-game unbeaten run.

Fabian Hurzeler’s team has won all four pre-season games while scoring at least two goals in each victory, which will help their confidence going into this clash.

One particularly impressive aspect of St. Pauli’s game towards the end of the 2. Bundesliga campaign was their results on their travels, as they have won seven of their previous eight away games in the German second tier.
