It's early days in the 3. Liga and both Kaiserslautern and Waldhof Mannheim are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Kaiserslautern form and stats

The home team returns to Fritz-Walter-Stadion after being equal after 90 minutes with Wehen Wiesbaden (placed 7th) on their last time out; the 3. Liga game ended 2-2. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Türkgücü-Ataspor (0-3).
There was plenty of action in the dying minutes of the game against Wehen Wiesbaden as H. Çiftçi's goal in the 90th minute completed a cancellation of 0-2 and secured a draw after 90 minutes. The hometeam coach B. Schommers made a successful contribution in the game against Wehen Wiesbaden, bringing on H. Çiftçi who scored the equalizer in the 2-2 draw.
