Kaiserslautern and Hertha BSC come into this match in clearly different states. The hosts have just thrashed their opponents in the cup 2-0, following two straight league wins, while the visitors also won in the same manner in their last match, but the overall picture for the season is still quite far apart. Kaiserslautern have played 9 league matches and lost only once, scoring 9 and conceding 4, so their defence is the foundation that keeps them in the top group. Hertha BSC, meanwhile, have scored 20 goals in the same number of matches and are unbeaten in the league, but their defence is not entirely airtight either. The pattern is likely to be the hosts allowing the visitors to dominate possession and waiting for counter-attacking chances, because Hertha BSC clearly have higher possession and shots on target per game over their last 10 matches. However, Kaiserslautern's first-half home record shows they concede an average of just 0.17 goals per game. The match may open up in the second half as both teams push for goals.
