Overall, the East Westphalians are doing well and have by no means performed like they are bottom of the table. But FCK also got off to a good start, which means the pace is pleasantly high right from the start.

Yellow card for Manuel Prietl (Arminia Bielefeld)
Prietl comes too late against Redondo. The foul is neither hard nor tactical. Yellow looks a bit overdone.

The Red Devils work out their first chance. Klement stays on his feet in the duel in the penalty area, but puts the ball a little too far in front of him, so Fraisl is first to the ball and blocks the ball away.

In the case of a shaky back pass from the Palatinate, Luthe can clear Lasme at the last second. If the man from Bielefeld reacts a little faster here, it will be a really big chance.

The ball rolls on the Alm. The Arminen line up all in white. Meanwhile, the guests from the Palatinate are dressed in dark blue. Here we go.

The record speaks for the Palatinate, who have won 19 of the previous 39 competitive games against Arminia Bielefeld (eleven draws, nine defeats). Most recently, however, the match was in the hands of the blues. The East Westphalians have won the last three meetings against FCK in a row and have suffered only one defeat in the last seven duels.

By the way, if the Saturday evening game does not end in a draw, a series will break tonight. On the one hand, the Red Devils are the only second division team to be unbeaten away from home in the 2022/23 season (two wins, four draws). On the other hand, the East Westphalians have not lost any of their last eight second division games against promoted teams (five wins, three draws).

1. FC Kaiserslautern, who have lost just one of their last ten league games (two wins, seven draws), drew 0-0 against 1. FC Nürnberg last Saturday and kept a clean sheet for the second game in a row. Coach Dirk Schuster is forced to make a double change today. Aaron Opoku and Dominik Schad will start for Jean Zimmer (suspended) and Hendrick Zuck (ill).
19:42
Most recently, Arminen suffered a painful 0-1 away defeat in a basement duel with Fürth, who was also in trouble. Coach Daniel Scherning made four changes compared to this game: Andrés Andrade, Brian Lasme, Janni-Luca Serra and Manuel Prietl are preferred to Fabian Klos, Ivan Lepinjica, Jomaine Consbruch (all three benches) and Oliver Hüsing (ankle injury).
19:36
Last season there were two leagues between the two clubs. But then Bielefeld was relegated from the Bundesliga, while FCK managed to return to the 2nd division via promotion relegation. At the moment, the East Westphalians have to be extremely careful not to be completely passed on. The Blues have already lost nine of their first 14 league games and thus hold the Red Lantern. Never before in the history of the 2nd Bundesliga has a relegated team lost more often in the first 14 match days.

Good evening and welcome to the SchücoArena. Here Arminia Bielefeld receives 1. FC Kaiserslautern today at 8:30 p.m. as part of the 15th matchday of the 2nd Bundesliga.
