Kaiserslautern form and stats

The hosts won their first 2. Bundesliga game here at Fritz-Walter-Stadion, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Kaiserslautern last season were 12 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses from 18 games.

The Kaiserslautern supporters got no joy from their last fixture, a DFB Pokal duel also played here at Fritz-Walter-Stadion: A 1-2 defeat against Freiburg. Midfield player Ritter got a match rating of 7.41 in that game, the max score being 10. Ritter scored one goal, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

A 2-2 draw away in the 2. Bundesliga before that, with Holstein Kiel the opponent.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Kaiserslautern have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 11 matches with the results: Won 3, drawn 5 and lost 3.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Kaiserslautern at home in the league. 2 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.

St. Pauli form and stats

The visitors settled for one point in their first 2. Bundesliga away game of the season. During their previous season 17 away games resulted in 5 wins, 5 draws and 7 defeats.

Two travels in a row for St. Pauli, whose coach Schultz could celebrate last time after the DFB Pokal win against SV 1919 Straelen. Midfielder Smith was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.63. Smith scored one goal, hit the woodwork once, signed up for two assists, hit one key pass and had 69 successful passes (of 75 total).

Ahead of that match was the 2. Bundesliga away draw versus Hannover 96 that ended 2-2.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with St. Pauli playing away and similar expectations, we found 14 relevant matches. Results were 5 St. Pauli wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats.

St. Pauli have the goal stats of 2-2 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
