Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
All eyes will be on Fritz Walter Stadion when Kaiserslautern and St Pauli go head to head in the opening match of the season. The Red Devils finished the last 2. Bundesliga campaign in 9th place in the standings and, no doubt, they are eyeing yet another top-table finish. Defender Erik Durm misses the opening match of the season with a hip injury, while forward Terrence Boyd is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
The Kiezkicker, on the other hand, were producing scintillating showings in preseason, with the team winning each of their six warm-up games and given their attacking potential, we predict that both sides are going to find the net in Saturday’s showdown. As for the away team, midfielder Maurides has yet to overcome a meniscus problem, while summer signing Hauke Wahl and Danel Sinani should make their St Pauli debuts against Kaiserslautern.
