Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Sparkles will be flying when Kaiserslautern and HSV, the two old rivals, face each other at Fritz Walter Stadion in a highly-anticipated 2. Bundesliga game. The Red Devils suffered a dip in form and given their poor defensive displays in back-to-back losses to Hertha Berlin (3-4) and Hannover (1-3), home win should not be considered. All Almamy Traore, Kenny Prince Redondo, Marlon Ritter, Frank Ronstadt, Julian Niehues, and Hendrick Zuck are out of contention with injuries for the home team.
Die Rothosen, on the other hand, have been in a splendid form of late and given their excellent displays in back-to-back wins over Munster (4-1) and Regensburg (5-0), there is a big value in betting on the visiting side. In their last meeting in the German second tier Hamburger SV defeated Kaiserslautern 2-1 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
