Lucky for 96! Ondoua, who has already been warned, lashes out in the center circle and catches opponent Wunderlich in the face with his right hand. The referee shows mercy before justice again and waives the yellow-red card.

Wonderful with the direct acceptance! As a result of a double one-two with Zolinski, the 36-year-old tried a left-instep volley from 17 meters inside the left. He just misses the flat right corner.

Köhn finds a way to the baseline via his left flank. The newcomer from the Netherlands seeks Weydandt on the central five-man edge with a sharp cross. Central defender Kraus clears the attacker with his head.

Although the Lower Saxony have ball possession advantages, the majority of their contact takes place in their own half. So far they have rarely found a way into the last third of the field – the most dangerous action remains a harmless shot by Schaub from the left 15 meters just before the goal.

Kaiserslautern versus Hanover – the 2022/2023 season of the 2nd Bundesliga has begun!

The teams have just entered the pitch in front of almost 40,000 spectators.

In Lower Saxony, who won the last comparison with FCK in January 2017 1-0 in this league, coach Stefan Leitl bets in his competitive game premiere with Phil Neumann (KSV Holstein), Derrick Köhn (Willem II), Max Besuschkow ( SSV Jahn Regensburg), Louis Schaub (1. FC Köln) on four new players in his starting XI. Leo Weinkauf (MSV Duisburg), Fabian Kunze (DSC Arminia Bielefeld), António Fóti (SG Eintracht Frankfurt, loan) and Håvard Nielsen (SpVgg Greuther Fürth) have secured bench seats.
20:08
On the side of the Palatinate, who had the second best home team in the 3rd division last season, coach Dirk Schuster sends three with Andreas Luthe (1. FC Union Berlin), Erik Durm (SG Eintracht Frankfurt) and Ben Zolinski (FC Erzgebirge Aue). Newcomers in the race from the start. Lars Bünning (SV Meppen) and Lex-Tyger Lobinger (Fortuna Düsseldorf) can hope for a part-time assignment.

Three years after being relegated to the Bundesliga for the sixth time in the club’s history, Hannover 96 must consider themselves lucky not to have fallen further, as the calculated relegation last season could only be bagged on the 32nd matchday. With the new coach Stefan Leitl (SpVgg Greuther Fürth) and a squad that has been strengthened in many positions, the Reds finally want to play a role in the promotion race again – with only 35 goals in the last season, an increase in the offensive is particularly necessary for this.
19:49
After four years in the 3rd division, 1. FC Kaiserslautern has returned to the national football lower house by defeating SG Dynamo Dresden after a weak end of the season and the resulting third place in the relegation table after a goalless home draw with a 2-0 -Away win struck. Although the Red Devils have made some ambitious transfers, their main concern under Antwerp successor Dirk Schuster is to stay up in the league as early as possible.
19:42
Like the House of Lords, the second-highest national football league has been on pause since mid-May. However, she is already returning on this third weekend in July and thus even earlier than in previous years; Due to the winter break of two and a half months caused by the World Cup in Qatar (November 21 to December 18), the 18 clubs in the 2nd Bundesliga had even less time to catch their breath. The first of 306 games will be played by two of the numerous traditional clubs, 1. FC Kaiserslautern and Hannover 96, which make for many interesting duels.
19:35
Good evening from the Fritz Walter Stadium! At the start of the 48th season of the 2nd Bundesliga, promoted teams 1. FC Kaiserslautern and Hannover 96 face each other – both the Palatinate and the Lower Saxony begin a journey into the unknown in what appears to be a balanced league. Kick-off in the sold-out Fritz-Walter-Stadion is scheduled for 8:30 p.m.
