Hack thrusts inwards from the wing at high speed and then simply takes a right shot from 24 meters to the far corner, which he clearly misses. All in all, everything the blues do in the game is just too harmless. Kick off Kaiserslautern.

21:09
Bad passes are currently increasing in the build-up game for the Palatinate, which is also due to the fact that the hosts have increased the pressing in the last few minutes. However, the hard-working Bielefeld team did not develop any significant deals.
35
21:06
At the moment, the East Westphalians are slightly overweight. The Red Devils retreat a bit, but are very stable defensively.
32
21:02
Bastian Oczipka passes to Andrés Andrade, who is already a step too far and can only take the ball with a heel. The difficult handling of the ball failed and the ball ended up out of the gate. Kick off Kaiserslautern.

Yellow card for Brian Lasme (Arminia Bielefeld)
Redondo threatens to rush and Lasme grabs his opponent by the shoulder. This is a tactical foul and therefore a clear yellow card.

20:59
Boyd and Redondo don’t really come through. The latter tries it directly from 18 meters in a narrow space, but Ramos decisively blocks the ball, which arrives at Fraisl without speed. He only has to pick up the leather.

20:57
Hack pulls the foul alone against two opponents on the left wing, which brings Arminia a promising free kick. The fouled player takes the free kick himself, but his high ball into the box is cleared by Tomiak with a header.

20:55
For a short time, the game, which changes very lively from one side to the other, shifts a little to the center. However, no team really wants to calm down the encounter, which remains intense and fast-paced.

On the other hand, Redondo crosses extremely sharply to the second post, where Klement breaks free and finishes with a powerful head. The ball rushes just past the East Westphalia goal to the right. Fraisl then loudly takes his teammates to his chest.

Hack crosses from the corner of the penalty area to Serra, who wants to put the leather on goal at the five-meter line with the back of his head. Not a bad try, but ultimately not a problem for Luthe either.

20:46
Lasme can’t get past Tomiak and unceremoniously pulls in from the left wing. From a central position of 18 meters he then pulls off with his right, but shoots half-high and centrally at Luthe, who grabs it safely. harmless.

Boyd lays down for Ritter, who doesn’t hesitate and finishes flat immediately. But Fraisl is good and can safely bury the ball under him.

20:42
Ritter plays a perfect diagonal ball to Redondo, who dribbles against Künter in the Bielefeld penalty area, but cannot get past the Blues’ right-back.

20:41
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.

Okugawa charges forward on the left wing and then crosses in an exemplary manner into Serra’s run, but he doesn’t hit the header perfectly from six meters. The ball touches down and lands in Luthe’s safe arms.

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.
4.
20:37
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.
3.
20:34
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.

20:31
The East Westphalians get the first corner kick after just a few seconds, but Boyd confidently clears the short ball from Oczipka with a header at the first post.

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.
20:02
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.
19:54
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).
19:48
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.
19:30
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.
