k'lautern-TUS??

[californija]

what you think??

[ENGLISH]

Both teams are struggling to get forward and are prone to home and away draws, though K may just pinch this with the home advantage. If you are a gambler play the home win, if not, save your money for later in the week. Then you may see an advantage with Southend away too Cheltenham.

i think kaiser will win
Kaiserslautern’s problem is that players are young and lack experience especially concerning relegation fight. But players are talented enough to stay in league 2 – that’s at least my personal opinion. Kaiserslautern did what most teams do if results are not as hoped – they fired coach Rekdahl and new coach Milan Sasic changed playing style to 4-5-1 which already showed good result in Fuerth where they won by 1:0. And don’t forget: Fuerth is still in the race for a promotion place sitting on 3rd place! Sasic also called experienced midfielder Stefan Lexa back into the team who had absolutely no chance to play when old coach Rekdahl had the responsibility for the team. Another nice thing is that Sasic is former coach of TuS Koblenz. He worked there from July2002 till April 2007 and should still know well his old club – which is for sure a little plus in such an important game.

Let’s see puzzle parts of Koblenz side. They are 5 points ahead of Kaiserslautern and deep in relegation struggle, too. Their last victory goes back to 23td November when they did beat Wehen on the road (2:0). Since then they had 5 draws and lost only in Augsburg 1:0. So what makes me think that Kaiserslautern will win anyway? Like I said in the beginning I think momentum is now on host’s side and the fans will stand like a wall behind their team. In the past it was often not this way – but now – especially after important away win with new coach - the Betzenberg will be sold out and rumble.

Also key midfielder and playmaker Fatmir Vata of Koblenz is out due to his 5th yellow card, which means big blow for offense. Another thing I heard yesterday evening on German TV was that Uwe Rapolder (coach of Koblenz) has been seen on Bielefelder Alm. Bielefeld themselves struggle in league one and are absolutely not satisfied with coach and current situation. PLUS – Rapolder knows Arminia cause he coached this team already in the 2004/2005 season successfully before he left to 1.FC Koeln. I think people there still like him and I would not wonder if in the next days we have another changing in coaches. And I can’t imagine that these rumours are without impact on the game tonight. So only reason why I play ASH is the lot of draws Koblenz had in their last matches. In this case we have back our stakes. But I’m confident that Kaiserslautern will win this clash tonight.
