Full-time: Kaiserslautern 1-1 Elversberg

Elversberg spoil Kaiserslautern's evening with a 1-1 draw, although the latter still move into top spot, at least overnight. An absolute stunner from Ache put Kaiserslautern in front, but Elversberg, who were strong in the second half, deservedly came back through Damar.

Half-time: Kaiserslautern 1-0 Elversberg

Kaiserslautern deservedly lead 1-0 against Elversberg in an exciting match between two promotion contenders thanks to an absolute wonder goal from Ache. Elversberg didn't sit back, but at times lost their grip against their strong opponents.

What a goal from Ache!

After two fine passes, the last one from Hanslik, the striker sets himself up by shifting the ball to his right foot before curling it into the far corner. Magnificent!

Let's go!

Coup d’envoi!

Will Kaiserslautern claim top spot?

Or will Elversberg overtake their opponents? Only three points separate the visitors in sixth from Kaiserslautern in second. A draw would certainly propel the hosts – currently level on points with leaders Hamburg – into first place overnight. It's tight at the top in the second tier!

Elversberg also unchanged

Elversberg coach Steffen sees no reason for any changes either after last week's 4-0 victory against Hertha.

Kaiserslautern unchanged

Home manager Anfang sticks with the same starting eleven from the 3-0 victory against Regensburg last time out.

Elversberg starting XI

Kristof - Baum, Pinckert, Le Joncour, Neubauer - Fellhauer, Şahin - Petkov, Damar, Zimmerschied - Asllani

Kaiserslautern starting XI

Krahl - Elvedi, Sirch, Bauer - Zimmer, Breithaupt, Kleinhansl - Ritter, Kaloc - Ache, Hanslik

Markus Anfang on facing Elversberg

"Elversberg are characterised by great continuity, especially when it comes to the manager's position. The manager can always build the squad as he needs it. The calmness that Elversberg have in terms of their development stands out. They're a top-class team."

Horst Steffen on facing Kaiserslautern

"Kaiserslautern are now tapping into the potential they have and always have had. In the first half of the season, FCK didn't always reach their full potential – but now they're there."

The Sickingers and Kaiserslautern story

Carlo Sickinger played for the hosts for nine years, making his professional debut for them in the 3. Liga. His brother Luca Sickinger, meanwhile, is a scout for Kaiserslautern.

Anfang's Elversberg curse

As a head coach, Markus Anfang has only collected one point in three matches against Elversberg.

How times haves changes

Until a few years ago, Elversberg regularly faced Kaiserslautern's second outfit, but now they are meeting the Red Devils' first team for the fourth time.

Home advantage important

In the previous three encounters between these two teams, the home team has prevailed. Elversberg won the last two matches (1-0 in the reverse fixture, 2-1 last season), while Kaiserslautern won at the Betzenberg last term, coming back from a 1-2 deficit to win 3-2.
