Team News
Freiburg
Manager Streich could field a 4-4-1-1 again, with Jan Rosenthal starting
behind Sebastian Freis, although he has several other options up front. Plenty of defensive injuries will force Freiburg to field an inexperienced back line once again.
probable lineups : Baumann, Sorg, Ginter, Fallou, Mujdza, Caligiuri, Makiadi, Schuster, Schmid, Rosenthal, Freis. (4-4-1-1).

Kaiserslautern
Krassimir Balakov will make his debut as Kaiserslautern manager. Tobias Sippel could replace Kevin Trapp in goal. Jan Simunek is injured, meaning Rodnei and Mathias Abel could start at centre-back again. Ariel Borysiuk and Christian Tiffert could start in defensive midfield, allowing Oliver Kirch to start on the right wing. With Dorge Kouemaha and Sandro Wagner injured, Andrew Wooten could get his chance to start up front.
probable lineups : Sippel, Dick, Abel, Rodnei, Jessen, Borysiuk, Tiffert, Kirch, Shechter, Fortounis, Wooten. (4-2-3-1).

Prediction
After three games without a loss, including wins against Schalke and
Hamburg, Freiburg are on their way to climbing out of the relegation
zone. They need a result against their rivals Kaiserslautern now to
continue their run.
Kaiserslautern sacked Marco Kurz after 16 games without a win. New
manager Krassimir Balakov has a difficult task ahead of him, with
Kaiserslautern currently bottom of the table.
Expect Freiburg to try to control the game from the outset. It remains
to be seen how quickly Balakov will be able to change things at
Kaiserslautern, but the motivational effect of a managerial change is
never to be underestimated.
Freiburg 2 - 1 Kaiserslautern
